This week's episode of Defense in Depth

Managing Obsolete (Yet Business Critical) Systems

 On this episode of Defense in Depth:

Co-host Allan Alford and our guest, Mitch Parker, executive director, InfoSec and compliance, Indiana University Health, discuss the following:

• This issue appears to affect every security and IT person. At one time they've all had to deal with it.

• Obsolete technology should not be treated like any new technology. It needs to be isolated.

• Lots of great advice from the community with regard to containing the outdated technology through firewalls, air gapping, segmenting, virtual machines, and a jump box.

• Constantly measure the risk of not just intrusion of the outdated technology, but the cost of keeping the thing running as you can't rely on outside support or updates.

• As you're reporting the risk, constantly push for solutions to end reliance on this outdated technology.

• The obsolete technology is often an expensive and critical piece of hardware that's difficult if not impossible to replace.

• The UK National Cyber Security Center has some great guidance on what to do with obsolete platforms.
