Overview

Weak TLS versions expose workloads to known cryptographic downgrade and interception risks.

Remediation guidance

Google Cloud Remediation

Service-Wide (Recommended)

Standardize secure SSL policy profiles and attach them to all target HTTPS/SSL proxies.

Google Cloud Console (Asset-Level)

  1. Open Network security -> SSL policies.
  2. Set minimum TLS to 1.2.
  3. Attach policy to relevant target proxies.

Google Cloud CLI (Asset-Level)

gcloud compute ssl-policies update <policy-name> --min-tls-version=1.2 --profile=MODERN
gcloud compute target-https-proxies update <proxy-name> --ssl-policy=<policy-name>
