About this tag
Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a web security policy mechanism that helps protect against man-in-the-middle attacks by ensuring browsers only connect to servers over HTTPS. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover the implementation of HTTP Strict Transport Security in Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7, as well as its availability in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. Topics include how HSTS policies work to enforce secure connections and the security updates (such as KB 3058515) that brought this protection to older Windows versions. The tag is relevant for IT professionals and users interested in web security, browser hardening, and Microsoft's implementation of HSTS across its browsers.
