Hi All,<br />
<br />
We have a few legacy servers that shortly will no longer be covered by Critical updates. These wont be able to be updated to a newer OS for a little while. We have a solid AV on them and they sit behind a decent friewall. Is there anything else we need to do to further protect these servers until we can upgrade them. None of them bar one touches the internet in any way. <br />
<br />
Our reseller has suggested Trend Deep Security. Is this a good path to take / has anyone any experience with this product?<br />
<br />
Thankyou,<br />
Paul

Protect Legacy Server

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
