# Securing your Talend JobServer

Securing communication and data exchange between Talend JobServer and its clients is critical.

This section provides instructions for configuring Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to ensure encrypted and authenticated communication for Talend JobServer.

In some more specialized cases, you can encrypt secrets in configuration files or disabling hostname verification for the Talend Administration Center client. These configurations are optional but can enhance security for those specific use cases.

To configure Talend JobServer to verify custom-signed Job artifacts before execution, see [Setting up Talend JobServer to verify custom Job artifact signatures.](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/administration-center-user-guide/8.0/setting-up-jobserver-for-artifact-signature-verification).
