If you are running Windows Server 2003 after
July 14, 2015 your network WILL be at RISK.
If your organization is currently running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 on any servers in your office, you need to know about a dangerous security threat to your organization that must be addressed very soon. Please take a moment to read this important announcement.
As your local Microsoft Partner, we are aggressively reaching out to all local businesses that use Server 2003 to alert you to this serious security risk to your organization and inform you about what you need to do now to protect your company.
Microsoft has officially announced that it will retire all support on the Windows Server 2003 operating system on July 14, 2015. That means any business with this operating system still running will be completely exposed to serious hacker attacks aimed at taking control of your network, stealing data, crashing your system and inflicting a host of other business-crippling problems you do NOT want to have to deal with.
This is such a serious threat that the US Department Of Homeland Security has issued an official warning to all companies still running this operating system because firewalls and antivirus software will NOT be sufficient to completely protect your business from malicious attacks or data exfiltration. Running Windows Server 2003 will also put many organizations out of compliance.
If your businesses servers are running on Windows Server 2003 after July 14, 2015, there are a few things you should know:
- Security updates will end, exposing your Windows Server 2003 installation to security threats.
- If your business accepts credit cards, you’ll be out of PCI compliance.
- If you handle client heath care data, HIPAA data policies may not be met.
- Should you have an issue with your Windows Server 2003 server there will not be Microsoft phone or onsite support options.
Unless you don’t care about cybercriminals running rampant in your company’s computer network, you MUST upgrade any equipment running this software.
At no cost, we’ll come to your office and conduct a full analysis of your network to help you determine what specific servers will be affected by this announcement. Additionally, we will provide a detailed analysis of all upgrade options available to you, along with the pros and cons of each option. While there, we will also assess other security, backup and efficiency factors that could be costing you in productivity and hard dollars. We will then put together a customized Server 2003 Migration Plan specifically for your office.
