Why is Microsoft disabling Basic Authentication?
With the new hybrid and remote work culture, device hacking and phishing schemes are much more common. User credentials are at a higher risk of being compromised and compromised credentials allow an attacker to access any resource secured by those credentials. Securing emails is more critical now than ever and basic authentication makes it difficult to use any form of multi-factor Authentication (MFA) to increase protection.
What do I need to do if we still have Basic Authentication?
Make the switch to Modern Authentication now.
Contact us to determine the next steps to implementing modern authentication correctly, ensure you can improve security, and avoid disruption by continuing to connect to your Exchange-related apps.
