Information

Sets the minimum supported version of SSL. If this policy is not configured, Microsoft Edge uses a default minimum version, TLS 1.0.

If this policy is enabled, the minimum version can be set to one of the following values: 'TLSv1', 'TLSv1.1' or 'TLSv1.2'. When set, Microsoft Edge will not use any version of SSL/TLS lower than the specified version. Any unrecognized value is ignored.

Policy options mapping:
- TLSv1 (tls1) = TLS 1.0
- TLSv1.1 (tls1.1) = TLS 1.1
- TLSv1.2 (tls1.2) = TLS 1.2

NIST SP 800-52 specifies the preferred configurations for government systems.

Solution

Set the policy value for 'Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Minimum TLS version enabled' to 'TLS 1.2'.
