ℹ️ Check
If DoD is not at C2C Step 1 or higher, this is not a finding. Verify that only TLS 1.2 is enabled. From the Web Admin portal: 1. Navigate to Administration >> System >> Settings >> Security Settings. 2. Ensure "Allow TLS1.0", "Allow TLS1.1", and "Allow legacy unsafe TLS renegotiation for ISE as a client" are unchecked. If TLS 1.0 or 1.1 is enabled, this is a finding.
