Legacy Application Security and Compliance:
Unleash the Power of Droplet Computing
Break free from conventional IT constraints and embrace a secure and cost-effective approach with Droplet Computing. Our innovative software-based container solution empowers you to run legacy applications with reduced risk while fostering cloud-friendly innovation.
Experience the freedom of device choice as Droplet Computing containers enable your applications to run independently of the underlying operating system and chipset. Whether you're on Windows, Mac, or Linux, enjoy seamless application performance and functionality without any modifications to your device or applications.
With Droplet Computing, security becomes a top priority. Our NeverTrust™ model ensures sandboxed containers and blocks unnecessary inbound and outbound traffic, safeguarding you against zero-day exploits and ransomware attacks.
Achieving compliance is a breeze as Droplet applications work seamlessly with your host OS, eliminating the need for compromising system upgrades. Plus, our containerized approach includes all necessary libraries and dependencies, providing compatibility and reliability even for end-of-life operating systems.
Enjoy the benefits of flexibility, efficiency, and simplified IT management. Run your legacy apps with optimal resource utilization, enhanced security and stability, rapid deployment across any OS/environment, and virtually instant app start-up times.
Say goodbye to excessive costs and downtime. Droplet's simplified licensing saves you significant expenses compared to traditional VDI solutions, while reducing infrastructure demands and extending the value of your server infrastructure.
Unleash the full potential of your legacy applications with Droplet Computing. Experience true application freedom and embrace a new era of security, compliance, and efficiency.
Security
Running legacy apps in a conventional VM environment requires complex management and firewalling. Even then, it may be hard to remain 100% secure. You are still vulnerable to zero-day and
Ransomware Attacks, because these apps have all the features and vulnerabilities of the machine they are running on. Droplet containers are sandboxed and built according to the NeverTrust™ model, which blocks all inbound and all but the necessary outbound traffic
Compliance
Organisations often feel pressured to upgrade their systems, which could mean compromising on software purchases. If you are developing your own applications, you need to be able to deploy safely and securely. Droplet applications are not dependent on their native OS and work as if they are native to the host OS. Droplet software helps achieve regulatory compliance like
Cyber Essentials Plus and NIST.
Compatibility and Reliability
Upgrading operating systems can break legacy software dependencies, so the temptation is to keep an end-of-life EOL operating system going for the sake of a critical application. Apart from the security risks, lack of support for legacy systems may end up costing you time and money when the underlying OS runs into problems. Droplet applications are containerised to include the libraries and dependencies they need, while interfacing directly with the user’s device when required.
This means you could run a 32-bit Windows application on a MacBook Pro.
Flexibility
- Enable BYOD in your organisation with peace of mind and ease of use.
- Legacy apps run just as well as when they are installed on their native OS (if not better).
- Mobility: No need for a cloud connection as once the app is installed on a device, it runs like a native app.
- Simplified IT: Script once, run anywhere.
What are the benefits of containerisation?
Efficiency:
Containers use all available resources, and they minimise overheads.
Improved security and stability:
Containers are isolated from one another. Even if the security of one container is compromised, or the application crashes, other containers on the same host remain secure.
Agility:
Containers can be rapidly created and deployed to any OS/environment.
Faster app start-up:
As containers don’t rely on a hypervisor or virtualised operating system to access computing resources, start-up times are virtually instantaneous.
Easier management:
Containerisation offers a variety of tools that simplify container management, like rollbacks and upgrades, as part of the platform.
Flexible:
Containerisation offers the versatility to operate in either a virtualised or bare-metal environment.
Improving legacy application Security and Compliance Webinar Recording
Unsupported operating systems will not meet Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essential Plus certification and organisations often feel pressured to upgrade their systems, which could mean significantly increased costs and having to re-engineer applications to run on new platforms.
If you are developing, or have developed your own applications, you need to be able to deploy safely and securely and meet the requirements of Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, this is where our Legacy Application Security solution from Droplet will enable you to meet the requirements without the additional burden and overhead of re-platforming your legacy applications and operating systems.
Watch the recording of our webinar to find out how your legacy applications and servers can have improved security and compliance without any development overhead!
