Protect Windows XP PRO CCTV System Being Hacked?
Hi Guys,
I have been searching for advice on how to protect an old CCTV system using Windows XP Pro SP3 platform (yes, I know it is old, but my customer cannot afford to upgrade it to Windows 7) from being hacked in. Since the CCTV VMS software comes with built-in web server.
The system is publicly access on the Internet using DDNS service. I looked into Google and found some information.
I read the information given on this link above and follow the steps as much as I can. So, apart from installing anti virus and firewall software on the system, is there anyting else that I can do to make the system hack-proof? May be or at least to be as secure as possible.
Most appreciated. Thank you.
Marcus
