Description

This check scans SSL policies of Google Cloud HTTPS and SSL Proxy load balancers to identify insecure cipher suites. It ensures SSL policies use TLS 1.2 with secure profiles and exclude weak ciphers.

    This check scans SSL policies of Google Cloud HTTPS and SSL Proxy load balancers to identify insecure cipher suites. It ensures SSL policies use TLS 1.2 with secure profiles and exclude weak ciphers.
  impact: |
    Insecure cipher suites can lead to vulnerabilities, allowing attackers to decrypt or intercept data.
  remediation: |
    Ensure SSL policies use MODERN or RESTRICTED profiles, or a secure CUSTOM profile without weak ciphers.
