Technical Advisories v10.6
Encryption v10.6
● In January 2020, SHA1 signing certificates are no longer valid and cannot be renewed. Devices running Windows
7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 must install Microsoft KBs https://support.microsoft.com/help/4474419 and https://
support.microsoft.com/help/4490628 to validate SHA256 signing certificates on applications and installation packages.
Applications and installation packages signed with SHA1 certificates will function but an error will display on the endpoint
during installation or execution of the application without these updates installed.
