An organization deploys an updated network application that requires ciphers unrecognized by older endpoints. The older endpoints show handshake failures in event logs. Which approach addresses the mismatch?
Disable encryption on the updated environment so older endpoints can connect
Configure the updated environment to allow a fallback set of ciphers alongside the newer ones
Deploy a load balancer that discards advanced ciphers in transit
Bind the updated application to a different address used only by newer systems
Enabling a fallback set of ciphers that both older endpoints and the updated environment support resolves the handshake failure. Disabling encryption weakens security, binding the service to a different address does not resolve the underlying negotiation issue, and using a load balancer that discards ciphers does not fix the mismatch on the endpoints themselves.
