Secure your services

Remove barriers around TLS setup and management. Our offerings allow organizations to deliver secure and private experiences, supporting needs ranging from a single domain to complex security requirements.

TLS Simplified

Trust, privacy, and security are fundamental components of modern websites and applications. While Transport Layer Security (TLS) used to be optional, it is now expected by all consumers - 94% of traffic across Google is encrypted. Beyond trust, security, and privacy, TLS can also have positive (or negative) impacts on business performance. Browsers prominently display to end users when connections are secure, and provide warnings for domains without TLS. Plus, there can be serious consequences to SEO performance like not being included in search results entirely.  But, certificates are often hard to manage, meaning valuable resources need to dedicate time to managing them and errors can result in downtime ​​if a certificate expires or is compromised. Our portfolio of TLS offerings allows every organization to deliver secure and private experiences to their end users, designed to address a variety of customer types and needs — whether you just want to turn on TLS for a single domain or have detailed and complex security requirements.

Key benefits 

Flexibility and control 

With options to use our TLS certificates or bring your own, you gain full control over your certs via our UI, API, or white-glove service. Plus, auto-renewals for Fastly-managed TLS allow you to stay focused on creating excellent user experiences, not managing certs.

Simplified management

Frictionless setup and management enables you to focus on building great websites or applications — rather than wasting cycles configuring TLS. With Fastly, you can enable TLS on a domain in minutes with just a few clicks. 

Performance and scale

Fastly provides worldwide TLS termination with powerful edge servers located closer to your users. This reduces the round trip times and the total performance costs of TLS handshakes. We’ve got you covered regardless of deployment complexity or number of web properties. 

Stay current with TLS

We provide end-to-end TLS 1.3 support that enables secure and fast experiences from the client to the origin. Plus, we support Mutual TLS (mTLS) for authenticating client certificates and securing public facing APIs, mobile apps, IOT devices and more.
