For strong security, use TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3. Recommended cipher suites include those with AES-GCM (e.g., TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384). Configure the server to only accept these strong cipher suites. On the client, ensure the ODBC driver is configured to negotiate these protocols and cipher suites, either through connection string parameters or driver settings. Check your database server and ODBC driver's documentation for how to configure specific cipher suites and TLS versions.
