ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS-1-1-2017-01 supports only TLS version 1.1 and higher, while ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS-1-2-2017-01 supports only TLS version 1.2 and higher. These new security policies allow you to restrict access from clients that are using older and weaker protocol versions. There is also a new security policy, ELBSecurityPolicy-2016-08 which corresponds to the pre-existing default settings, and supports TLS version 1.0 and higher.
All Application Load Balancers now offer support for these additional pre-defined security policies. Learn more by visiting our product page.
