OSSEC Legacy Systems – OSSEC End of Life Systems – OSSEC EOL Systems

Try OSSEC for Legacy and EOL System Security

Looking for OSSEC legacy system and OSSEC end of life (EOL) system security support? Free OSSEC host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) core rule sets can help to protect some legacy and end of life (EOL) systems based on OSSEC’s customizable rules and flexible integration traits. However, any fast or dedicated open source OSSEC legacy and EOL system patching, enhancement, and support are tempered by the open source community’s reliance on volunteers and the associated longer wait times for updates and assistance.

To remain cyber-vigilant, open-source OSSEC legacy system security projects often require the OSSEC HIDS user to have to write the new security rules in-house. The user would also have to integrate these into each legacy and unsupported EOL OS, each security log path, and any SIEM—all without the professional support or immediacy of a software vendor partner.

OSSEC Legacy System Security for AIX, Solaris, RHEL, and Windows EOL Versions

Unsupported software can become obsolete and too vulnerable to leave up to non-dedicated development and technical support individuals. Mature systems such as AIX, and end-of-life, and legacy OS versions like Solaris 10 and 11, HP-UX 10 and 11i, RHEL 5, Windows XP, and Ubuntu 16 require a more advanced and fortified endpoint protection solution, one that can secure and achieve compliance in hybrid cloud architectures consisting of both legacy and modern systems, including IT as a service (ITaaS).

Building such an advanced OSSEC legacy system security solution can be complicated and require a lot of effort by do-it-yourself’ers, and—even after the work is done—the customized open source OSSEC system will be of limited efficacy. This is because software no longer provisioned with a software vendor’s own security enhancements makes SIEM logging and system security compliance near impossible.

Upgrading EOL software is recommended. But if your organization cannot upgrade its systems, Atomic OSSEC legacy system security support is available to provide endpoint and cloud workload protection for cyberdefense, risk management, and security and privacy compliance.
