From EBSCO:

EBSCO’s priority is to provide our customers with a secure research environment. To meet our commitment, we announced in December a series of upgrades to our platform and services to ensure that we provide an optimal experience while meeting the data and privacy standards for all customers around the globe.

To help customers with the transition, we have assembled the essential information to secure your EBSCO account. It is important to read through carefully and start taking any necessary steps which may include:

  • Update your account in EBSCOadmin™ to take advantage of HTTPS (secure data transfer). Later this year it will be enforced, but we encourage customers to make this update as soon as possible ahead of the mandatory change. Customers who use proxy servers or referring URL will need to ensure that secure data transfer is supported by their configurations.
  • Review your current authentication methods. Customers using Username and Password should verify the password being used meets our strong password requirements.
  • Make sure that your users have access to our supported web browsers. Future updates, to our products and services, including our change to HTTPS, will require the most recent browsers for continued access.

Detailed information to assist you with any of these updates is available on EBSCO Help.
