Legacy Windows systems: Enterprise security's biggest blind spot
Somewhere in a hospital basement, an MRI machine hums along on Windows XP. Down the road, a CNC controller on a factory floor runs Windows Server 2003. Across town, a municipal utility manages water treatment with software that hasn’t seen an update since the second Bush administration.
These aren’t edge cases. They’re everywhere — and they represent one of the most underestimated risks in enterprise security today.
Still here, still running It would be reasonable to assume that operating systems from the early 2000s have no place in a modern network.

Digital substations and log collection
European electric power system operators supply around 2800 TWh of electricity per year and manage around 10 million kilometers of power lines - more than ten round trips to the Moon. Such electric travel is impossible without electric substations, an essential component of a power grid. Its automation becomes ultimately digitalized, so requires proper monitoring both for operational and security purposes. Let’s take a look at how a unified log collection pipeline embeds into power automation systems and helps make sure the lights stay on.
