Azure SQL Database should be running TLS version 1.2 or newer

Azure BuiltIn Policy definition

Source Azure Portal
Display name Azure SQL Database should be running TLS version 1.2 or newer
Id 32e6bbec-16b6-44c2-be37-c5b672d103cf
Version 2.0.0
Details on versioning
Category SQL

Description Setting TLS version to 1.2 or newer improves security by ensuring your Azure SQL Database can only be accessed from clients using TLS 1.2 or newer. Using versions of TLS less than 1.2 is not recommended since they have well documented security vulnerabilities.

Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0 DP-3 Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0_DP-3 Microsoft cloud security benchmark DP-3 Data Protection Encrypt sensitive data in transit Shared **Security Principle:** Protect the data in transit against 'out of band' attacks (such as traffic capture) using encryption to ensure that attackers cannot easily read or modify the data. Set the network boundary and service scope where data in transit encryption is mandatory inside and outside of the network. While this is optional for traffic on private networks, this is critical for traffic on external and public networks. **Azure Guidance:** Enforce secure transfer in services such as Azure Storage, where a native data in transit encryption feature is built in. Enforce HTTPS for workload web application and services by ensuring that any clients connecting to your Azure resources use transportation layer security (TLS) v1.2 or later. For remote management of VMs, use SSH (for Linux) or RDP/TLS (for Windows) instead of an unencrypted protocol. Note: Data in transit encryption is enabled for all Azure traffic traveling between Azure datacenters. TLS v1.2 or later is enabled on most Azure PaaS services by default. **Implementation and additional context:** Double encryption for Azure data in transit: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/security/fundamentals/double-encryption#data-in-transit Understand encryption in transit with Azure: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/security/fundamentals/encryption-overview#encryption-of-data-in-transit Information on TLS Security: https://docs.microsoft.com/security/engineering/solving-tls1-problem Enforce secure transfer in Azure storage: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-require-secure-transfer?toc=/azure/storage/blobs/toc.json#require-secure-transfer-for-a-new-storage-account n/a link 15
Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0 IM-4 Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0_IM-4 Microsoft cloud security benchmark IM-4 Identity Management Authenticate server and services Shared **Security Principle:** Authenticate remote servers and services from your client side to ensure you are connecting to trusted server and services. The most common server authentication protocol is Transport Layer Security (TLS), where the client-side (often a browser or client device) verifies the server by verifying the server’s certificate was issued by a trusted certificate authority. Note: Mutual authentication can be used when both the server and the client authenticate one-another. **Azure Guidance:** Many Azure services support TLS authentication by default. For the services supporting TLS enable/disable switch by the user, ensure it's always enabled to support the server/service authentication. Your client application should also be designed to verify server/service identity (by verifying the server’s certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority) in the handshake stage. **Implementation and additional context:** Enforce Transport Layer Security (TLS) for a storage account: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/transport-layer-security-configure-minimum-version?tabs=portal#use-azure-policy-to-enforce-the-minimum-tls-version n/a link 4
