ANALYZING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DATA SECURITY POLICIES IN LEGACY SYSTEMS
Keywords:
Legacy Systems, Data Security Policies, Cyber Threats, Security Vulnerabilities, Policy EnhancementAbstract
This paper investigates the effectiveness of data security policies in legacy systems, addressing the challenges posed by outdated technology in the face of modern cyber threats. As organizations continue to rely on legacy systems for critical operations, the gap between established security policies and contemporary security requirements becomes increasingly apparent. This study reviews the current data security policies implemented in legacy systems, evaluates their effectiveness, and highlights key vulnerabilities that may expose organizations to risks. Through a comparative analysis with modern security practices, the research identifies significant deficiencies in legacy policies and provides actionable recommendations for improvement. The findings reveal that while legacy systems are often equipped with foundational security measures, they frequently fall short of addressing advanced threats and compliance requirements. The paper concludes by offering strategies for policy enhancement, technology upgrades, and future research directions to better safeguard sensitive data in an evolving threat landscape. This research underscores the need for continuous adaptation and proactive measures to bridge the security gaps inherent in legacy systems.
