Windows Server 2003 End of Support – Are You At Risk?
Make headlines for your business growth, not a security breach.
News stories about security breaches are making headlines these days. We recently read about this one, affecting 11 million customers. Now you might think, “that’s ok, i’m a small business, they won’t go after me”. Well, how about this one about a hacker who specifically targeted small businesses. And if you think that’s not enough, the Department of Homeland Security in the United States recently released this alert regarding security and the end of support for Server 2003. The reality is, as a business owner, you want to do everything you can to protect your business. The simple fact is, if you’re running Windows Server 2003, you’re putting your business at risk.
So what happens when support ends for Windows Server 2003 on July 14, 2015?
• No security updates, exposing your Windows Server 2003 installation to security threats
• If your business accept credit cards through your server, you’ll be out of compliance.
