You can use Azure Application Gateway to centralize SSL certificate management and reduce encryption and decryption overhead from a back-end server farm. This centralized SSL handling also lets you specify a central SSL policy that's suited to your organizational security requirements. This helps you meet compliance requirements as well as security guidelines and recommended practices.

Application Gateway has three predefined security policies. You can configure your gateway with any of these policies to get the appropriate level of security. The policy names are annotated by the year and month in which they were configured. Each policy offers different SSL protocol versions and cipher suites. We recommend that you use the newest SSL policies to ensure the best SSL security.

The v2 SKU offers autoscaling to ensure that your Application Gateway can scale up as traffic increases. It also offers other significant performance benefits, such as 5x better SSL offload performance, quicker deployment and update times, zone redundancy, and more when compared to v1. For more information, see our [v2 documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/application-gateway/application-gateway-autoscaling-zone-redundant).
