Microsoft has extended the deadline for the use of Client Access Rules (CARs) in Exchange Online until September 2024 for some companies that are unable to migrate to the more secure Azure Active Directory Conditional Access and Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE) approach. The shift from CARs to Conditional Access and CAE is not a simple matter, and Microsoft has already begun taking steps to move organizations to Conditional Access and CAE. CAE became generally available in January 2022 as a key part of Microsoft's larger Azure AD Zero Trust Session Management portfolio, with Redmond highlighting the tool's security enhancements and real-time enforcement.

Exchange Online CARs Deprecation Delayed by Microsoft Until 2024.

Microsoft has delayed the deprecation of Client Access Rules (CARs) in Exchange Online until September 2024, a year later than previously announced. CARs are used to filter client access to Exchange Online using various factors, including IP addresses and authentication type. Microsoft is encouraging customers to migrate to more secure alternatives such as Azure Active Directory conditional access and continuous access evaluation. The delay was prompted by the need for proper support in some cases, and Microsoft is waiting for customers to request help migrating their CARs to the new access control options via support tickets.
