DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
Web-based applications and servers are often misconfigured to send and receive traffic over HTTP instead of HTTPS. Servers that accept plaintext passwords over HTTP increase the risk of exposing credentials to attackers that capture traffic through network sniffing. Clients that send plaintext passwords over HTTP with Basic authentication (RFC 7617) increase the risk of exposing their credentials to malicious websites. Harden your network environment by enabling the SSL/TLS protocol on servers.
The system might change the risk score for this detection.

N/A
Establish a security policy that directs users to refrain from connecting to websites over HTTP, especially when submitting credentials to a website
Audit web server configurations to confirm that SSL/TLS and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) are enabled and configured correctly
