IBM Spectrum Protect 8.1.2 works with a product wide adoption & exploitation of TLS 1.2 to secure point-to-point communication,  More security for directory container storage pools by data encryption. Because of these security enhancements it is important to carefully plan the upgrade/migration to Version 8.1.2 and newer.
