zt_int_001 — API Management instance accepts weak TLS on the gateway

Summary

Severity: High · Pillar: Network · Chain role: AMPLIFIER

Description

API Management's gateway terminates client TLS and proxies to backend services. A TLS policy that permits 1.0/1.1 or weak ciphers exposes every API behind the gateway to downgrade attacks. Modern clients support TLS 1.2+; there is no legitimate reason to leave weaker protocols enabled on a publicly reachable gateway.
