Ensure modern authentication for Exchange Online is enabled

Without modern authentication enabled, Exchange Online cannot enforce multifactor authentication or support certificate-based authentication. This leaves your organization vulnerable to credential theft and replay attacks, as legacy authentication protocols bypass critical security controls like conditional access policies.
