Severity : High

Description: This control ensures that SQL server uses TLS version set to a minimum version for any transport layer connectivity. The Azure supports TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. Setting a minimal TLS version ensures that newer TLS versions are supported. The newer versions fix the vulnerabilities in previous versions. The security best practice recommend to patch the security vulnerabilities quickly and set a minimal version of accepted TLS version to make sure that old versions with known high degree of security vulnerabilities are not deployed in the network. The recommended minimum version for Microsoft Azure SQL server is TLS 1.2.
