Basic authentication is an outdated industry standard. Its threats have only increased further in recent years. Today, there are better and more effective alternatives to user authentication. At Universal we strongly recommend our customers to apply security strategies such as Zero Trust (never trust, always verify) and implement  additional security policies for users and devices when accessing corporate resources. These alternatives enable intelligent options to decide about who tries to access what,  from what location and which device, rather than simply relying on a username and password that could be used by a malicious person to impersonate a legitimate user.
