Even after the new Microsoft changes
You may have already read it: Microsoft will soon discontinue an outdated way of sending e-mail (so-called SMTP basic authentication). This may affect printers and scanners that send documents by e-mail, such as many Toshiba multifunctionals and other multifunctionals.
That sounds exciting,but the good news is: For customers of Analyst ICT, this is not a problem. We already have a secure, future-proof solution for.
What exactly is going on?
Many printers send e-mail using a direct link to Microsoft 365, with a username and password. Microsoft no longer considers this method secure and is therefore disabling it.
Printers that still work this way will soon be unable to send emails. Consider:
- Scan to email
- Error messages by mail
- Automatic reporting
Our solution: secure emailing via an intermediate step
At Analyst ICT, we solve this differently.
Instead of the printer directly communicates with Microsoft, let the printer send e-mail via a professional, secure mail relay.
This intermediate step handles e-mail traffic on behalf of the printer and handles security according to current standards.
For you that means:
- no dependence on outdated Microsoft settings
- no more user name and password in the printer
- a stable and secure way of mailing
- fully future-proof
The printer still does what it always did: scan and mail. Just smarter and more securely arranged.
Understood explained
You can compare it to:
Rather than delivering the mail itself to Microsoft, the printer delivers it to a trusted courier who knows exactly how to do it securely these days.
And as a user, you actually don't even notice.
What does that cost?
This solution is available from €10 per month depending on how much you send.
For that, you get:
- A secure e-mail solution for your Toshiba printer
- monitoring and management
- malfunction support
- certainty that your scan-to-mail will continue to work, even in the future
No big investments, no complicated adjustments.
For whom is this relevant?
This solution is of interest to:
- Toshiba printers that scan to email
- organizations using Microsoft 365
- companies that don't want the hassle of changing IT rules
