Service endpoints

Event Notifications offers two connectivity options for interacting with its service APIs.

Public endpoints: By default, you can connect to resources in your account over the IBM Cloud public network. Your data is encrypted in transit by default that uses the Transport Security Layer (TLS) 1.2 protocol.
Private endpoints: To further secure your connection, you can also enable virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) and service endpoints for your infrastructure account. When you enable VRF for your account, you can connect to Event Notifications by using a private IP that is accessible only through the IBM Cloud private network.
