Never-Trust vs Zero-Trust
Why Droplet for Central and Local Government
For central governments, legacy software poses several significant challenges, particularly in terms of operational inefficiency, cybersecurity, and compliance with evolving cyber regulations. Droplet NeverTrustTM containers offer a targeted solution to address these issues by containerising apps and enabling them to run on modern platforms.
Many Government bodies still rely on legacy software unsupported operating systems such as Win7 and Server 2008. This often happens not by choice, but 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.
This situation is poised to get worse, with Win10 support ending in Oct-25 and Server 2016 following it in Jan-27, how do Government bodies ensure the security and longevity of the legacy software that’s used to govern and manage the country, if it’s no longer supported by the software vendor and by default fails any form of cyber accreditation?
