What actions must be put in place to secure legacy systems against obsolescence?
The end of support for Windows XP, the end of life of your current SCADA system, aging hardware and cyber-security concerns are some of the many driving motivations for the update of your SCADA systems.
Microsoft has been supporting legacy Windows versions (XP, 8, 2003 Server…) for the last several years. Now that support has ended, Microsoft has stopped providing security updates to protect these systems. With massive, worldwide cyberattacks such as the latest WannaCrypt it is clear that without security updates, these systems are becoming more vulnerable to cyber-attacks every day.
Indeed, these security updates were an important component of the fight against virus, malwares and spywares that are always evolving and can disrupt your systems at any time. It is why it is important to migrate your application to current operating systems for which security updates are kept current and available.
