How To Steps

  1. Debug your code to find which end point is causing your problem. 
  2. In that method call, put the below code, ABOVE where the issue occurs (inside the method). Note: This is NOT a using statement you need to copy the EXACT code right inside your method call to your endpoint or what ever is giving you a issue. 
  3. System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
    
  4. NOTE: Check your web.config to make sure it is not pointing to an empty string for the end point that can cause this error as well. 
  5. The above code should fix it right away. 

Conclusion

The issue occurs because the wrong version of TLS is being called, perhaps the .dlls or something for the End Point you are connecting to has be updated or changed. The above-mentioned piece of code allows for providing alternative TLS versions to be called.
