Insight Space: Legacy

The ongoing security cost

Legacy systems

Legacy systems. They’re unlikely to stir much enthusiasm in the boardroom, yet they can incur a significant amount of business risk if not incorporated into an organisations security strategy. According to our research of 500 cyber security decision makers, forty five per cent of organisations’ digital transformation projects are inheriting legacy security issues.

In this edition, we provide a mix of business and technical advice on the subject of legacy security issues as well as our latest threat intelligence and a CISO feature from Vodafone. Download the latest edition of the Insight Space magazine, or explore our advisory pieces below.
