Never-Trust vs Zero-Trust
Securing Legacy Systems for the Future of Banking and Insurance
Keeping your mission critical software and operating systems up to date can be a challenging task for IT and infosec teams, especially within finance, where hereditary they operate many legacy systems than mange and secure financial records and data that legally they need to easily access and secure for their clients.
Many finance organisations still rely on legacy software unsupported operating systems such as Win7 and Server 2008. This often happens not by choice, but mainly because their current software can’t run on the latest operating systems, or the costs to upgrade are too high, as a result, they have a weakened security posture and easier cyber security target.
What makes Droplet unique, is the way that in which we deliver applications, whether they’re legacy Win7 or modern Win10 or Win11. For example, by default, any application (legacy or modern) that’s delivered via a Droplet NeverTrustTM container, meets the latest levels of cyber accreditation, up to CE+, NIS2 and DORA.
