EDR for Legacy Endpoints

Legacy Endpoints are older devices, systems, and applications that sit in an organisation’s network.

Digital,Transformation,Conceptual,For,Next,Generation,Technology,Era

Legacy Endpoints are older devices, systems, and applications that sit in an organisation’s network. These are often points of vulnerability due to outdated systems and lack of security patches. This is because systems are often difficult or costly to upgrade. This makes them key (and often easier) targets for cyber criminals to use to infiltrate broader networks.

We need to protect Legacy Endpoints because many critical industries, such as healthcare and manufacturing, still rely on legacy systems for daily operations. Therefore, they are extremely susceptible to a breach which would cause widespread disruption. Protecting legacy endpoints is a critical challenge for businesses that rely on older systems, as they lack modern security features, they are more vulnerable to cyber threats.

At Red Helix, we address this risk with CrowdStrike Falcon Legacy, a next-generation Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) solution designed to secure outdated systems without requiring extensive upgrades. This simplified security solution allows businesses to secure both legacy and modern endpoints via a single console. As a result, businesses can efficiently maintain operations while securing their most vulnerable assets.

CrowdStrike Falcon Legacy provides advanced threat detection, continuous monitoring, and real-time response capabilities, on older endpoints. Unlike traditional security tools that rely on signature-based detection, Falcon Legacy uses AI-driven behavioural analysis to identify and stop threats before they can cause harm. It also minimises system impact, ensuring that legacy devices are protected without degrading performance. This extends the lifecycle of businesses existing infrastructure while maintaining strong cyber security defences.

The business benefits of securing legacy endpoints with Falcon Legacy are clear. It reduces the risk of costly data breaches, ensures compliance with industry regulations, and eliminates the need for expensive hardware upgrades. By protecting these critical assets, businesses can avoid downtime, preserve operational efficiency, and extend the value of their existing investments. With Red Helix and CrowdStrike Falcon Legacy, organisations gain enterprise-grade security for legacy endpoints, ensuring that no part of their infrastructure becomes a weak link in their cyber security strategy.
