Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that provides privacy and data integrity between two applications communicating over a network. It is the most widely used security protocol in use today and is used by web browsers and other applications that require data to be securely exchanged over a network. TLS is designed to prevent eavesdropping and tampering of data. TLS replaced its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), in June of 2015 due to numerous security vulnerabilities in the SSL protocol. The SSL protocol was also deprecated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2014 for the same reasons. The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) suggests organizations migrate from TLS 1.0 to TLS 1.1 or higher before June 30, 2018. To comply with this movement towards a safer and more secure method of transmitting your data, First Bank Texas requires all customers to access online systems using web browsers and applications that are TLS 1.2 compatible by default. Due to this constraint, you may be required to upgrade you web browser prior to using our new systems.
The following procedure may be used to enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 in your browser. Keep in mind, the minimum supported browsers will have TLS 1.2 support by default. These procedures are only relevant to unsupported browser versions.
Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE)
Firefox
Google Chrome
Opera
Safari
TLS 1.1 and 1.2 are enabled by default. There are no options to enable/disable TLS if you are using Safari version 7 or greater.
Please visit https://duo.com/ for more information about using Duo for out-of-band authentication. Out-of-band authentication is a general term used to describe multi-factor authentication where at least one of the factors authenticates against something you have such as a physical device. A typical two-factor authentication scenario using an out-of-band authenticator is as follows:
You log in to a system by entering a username and password (factor #1: something you know) and then you are required to enter or verify a code sent to your mobile device (factor #2: something you have).
Using Duo with push notification is recommended over SMS, email, and voice, but it is not required. Duo is recommended for our personal and business banking customers because:
By default, your online banking user accounts are set up to require two-factor authentication on all external transfer of funds. This includes fund transfer and bill pay transactions. Two-factor authentication means you will be required to authenticate with something you know – your username and password – and something you have – a physical device such as a mobile phone.
If you would like to tighten your security further, please contact your local bank branch. At your request, we can secure any of the following with out-of-band authentication using Duo:
