Policy: Azure > CIS v4.0 > 10 - Storage Services > 10.01 - Azure Files > 10.01.03 - Ensure 'SMB channel encryption' is set to 'AES-256-GCM' or higher for SMB file shares

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

SMB channel encryption provides data encryption in transit for Azure Files. AES-256-GCM is a strong encryption algorithm that provides both confidentiality and integrity for data in transit. Requiring AES-256-GCM encryption ensures that data cannot be intercepted or tampered with during transmission.

Using AES-256-GCM or higher encryption for SMB channels ensures the highest level of protection for data in transit.
