A company has critical applications that only run on an outdated operating system, which is no longer supported by modern hardware. What is the BEST approach to ensure these applications can still be used securely?
Update the application to be compatible with the latest operating system.
Run a virtual machine within a modern host operating system.
Continue using old hardware with the outdated operating system installed.
Set up a dual-boot system with the outdated and a modern operating system.
Running a virtual machine for the outdated operating system allows the company to run its critical applications on modern hardware without compatibility issues. This approach benefits from the isolation and control that virtualization provides, ensuring the legacy application can continue to function while mitigating some security concerns. Continuing to use outdated hardware is less practical due to compatibility and security risks, and updating the application or dual-booting may not address all compatibility issues effectively.
