If your business is still running Windows Server 2003, you
could be putting your company at risk from hackers.
As there are now no longer any security patches being issued
by Microsoft for the Windows Server 2003 operating system, hackers may well be
looking to exploit any holes that may occur as a lack of security.
There are still around 11 million machines around the world are
still running Windows Server 2003 - 400,000 UK businesses are also still using the
now out of date Server 2003 operating system (OS).*
Without the security patches, zero-day attaches and
regulatory compliance could become a problem for any Windows 2003 Server user.
Where compliance is concerned, any business that accepts credit cards could find
it in breach of PCI DSS 3.0.
Some businesses have opted to develop their own security
tools to support their systems and carry on running Windows Server 2003 – the fees
from Microsoft for a custom support contract are high.
If your business would like to discuss making the change
from Windows Server 2003 to a more up-to-date and secure operating system, call
ACE Computer Support today on 01902 375 304.
