anuseems Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Microsoft's shuttering of Windows Server 2003 this July has the potential to be the biggest security threat of 2015 according to one IT specialistFrom Techradar:Ade Foxall, CEO of application portfolio management firm Camwood, thinks that the impending demise of the popular product could have serious repercussions for the millions of servers that still run on the platform across the globe.After the recent migration away from Windows XP, IT departments should be more aware than ever of the dangers of using an out-of-date platform. And yet, the lack of awareness surrounding Server 2003 is about to pose an unprecedented security threat to businesses all over the world, Foxall said. Foxall's 'Server 2003 is dead. What are you going to do?' report also found that the IT community isn't giving Server 2003's demise much of a second thought.http://www.techradar.com/us/news/computing/servers/windows-server-2003-end-of-life-is-the-biggest-security-threat-of-2015-1289390 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banned Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It would be interesting to see the ratio of servers which haven't been kept up-to-date anyway.. Almost everywhere I look, the original IT staff had just "set it and forget it" and think "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".But of course, the threat will be much lower in an environment where the server is only accessible internally (i.e. Intranet).
