Are you ready to terminate support for Windows Server 2003?

Corporate business operations that are using Windows Server2003 are relying on it, but July 14 Microsoft withdrew the support platform and will have a potential impact on mission critical systems. We expect hackers to explore new vulnerabilities for enterprise users who still continue to use the platform.

It is recommended that all enterprises eventually migrate to a new server, and companies that are not able to transfer within the end of the support period, Trend Micro deep discovery can protect your organization and keep critical servers running smoothly. When you plan to move to newer servers, such as Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or Azure, Trend Micro can help you protect Windows 2003 servers that are still in use, and when you move to a new server, we can continue to protect the new server. Trend Micro Discovery will continue to provide Windows 2003 support and protection after the expiration of the support deadline on July 14, 2015, allowing you to protect your existing and new servers through a single server.

The threat of multiplication

The past few months have told us that the IT team must keep any running software in the latest version. Well-known vulnerabilities such as Shellshock, Heartbleed heart drops and freak can seriously impact and disrupt the company's efforts to secure security and place sensitive data at risk. The problem for companies that still use WindowsServer 2003 after July 14 is that Microsoft no longer publishes security updates to protect the system from such vulnerabilities.

Not necessarily for everyone.

Although there is a way to get Microsoft's customized support to provide patches, this is expensive and cannot be sustained over the long term. It's not a good idea to run software that doesn't publish patches again. The smart way to use the budget is to move the product to a newer server, but this is not possible for everyone, some because of existing old critical programs that cannot be upgraded to the new operating server, or because the cost or resource issues associated with the transfer program are not affordable. But whatever the reason for choosing to continue using Microsoft Windows Server 2003, there are now workarounds to help.

Trend Micro to rescue

Trend Micro Deep discovery will continue to provide support for WindowsServer 2003 after Microsoft stops supporting, at least until the end of 2017, which should give your organization enough breathing space to properly plan for transfer to Windows Server 2012, Azure or other servers, while protecting your critical systems against a variety of major threats. Deep security checks the packet before it is passed to the application or through the network stack, allowing you to view network traffic and virtual patching of the vulnerability before a vulnerability attack.
