App Service apps should use the latest TLS version

Periodically, newer versions are released for TLS due to security flaws, additional functionality, and speed. Upgrade to the latest TLS version for App Service apps to take advantage of security fixes and new functionalities.

What this control checks

App Service apps must use the latest TLS version (minimum TLS version 1.2 or 1.3).
