DisplayName: FTPS should be required in API apps
Description: FTPS, or FTP Secure, provides an additional layer of security by encrypting the file transfer process.
This helps safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access.
If this measure isn't implemented, the apps could be at risk of data breaches and unauthorized access, which could compromise user data and the integrity of the system.
Therefore, we recommend enabling FTPS enforcement.

Remediation description: To ensure enforcement of FTPS only for your API app:
1. Go to the App Service for your API app 2. Select Configuration, and go to the General Settings tab 3. In FTP state, select FTPS only.
