To better protect your agency's financial transactions, ASAP.gov updated its minimum computer and internet browser requirements.
ASAP.gov no longer supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 and 1.1. As a result, your computers need to use an operating system and internet browser that supports TLS 1.2.
| Software | Supported | Unsupported (not able to use ASAP.gov) |
|---|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 7 and above | Windows XP or Vista, Macintosh, or Linux systems |
| Internet Browser | Browsers that support TLS 1.2 | Internet Explorer (all versions) |
