### Description{% #description %}

App Service instances should be configured to use the latest version of TLS encryption to ensure secure data transmission. Using outdated TLS versions, such as setting `min_tls_version = 1.1`, exposes applications to vulnerabilities and known exploits that exist in deprecated protocols. Setting `min_tls_version = "1.2"` in the `site_config` block helps protect data in transit and reduces the risk of security breaches due to weaker encryption standards.

```
resource "azurerm_app_service" "example" {
  // ...
  site_config {
    min_tls_version = "1.2"
  }
}
```

  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  app_service_plan_id = azurerm_app_service_plan.example.id

  site_config {
    dotnet_framework_version = "v4.0"
    scm_type                 = "LocalGit"
    min_tls_version = 1.2
  }
}
```
