Older protocols are hard to kill. From consumer-based protocols like SMBv1 to network-based protocols like Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM), we typically need time and planning to move off protocols that we rely on.

This old but well-used protocol was the default for network authentication in the Windows NT 4.0 operating system. It is less secure than more modern protocols such as Kerberos.
