We are pleased to share a story of working with one of our customers: The rescue and migration of an outdated CRM system to a secure and modern cloud solution.

The client was running a CRM system that no longer met current requirements due to its outdated PHP versions and other security vulnerabilities. The host that the client had handed over to us was compromised.

Challenges:

  • Outdated PHP versions and security vulnerabilities in the CRM system
  • Compromised host server
  • Need to recover the data and modernize the system

Our solution approaches:

🔹 Data recovery and cleanup: We rescued and cleaned the necessary files from the compromised host to ensure no malicious components were taken over.

🔹 Migration to the cloud: The cleansed CRM system was migrated to the cloud to benefit from the advantages of modern infrastructure.

🔹 Implementation of suitable protective measures: The CRM system has been isolated behind suitable protective measures to prevent future security incidents.

🔹 VPN network: The services are now accessible via a secure VPN network, which controls and protects access.

Results:

The client's CRM system now runs efficiently and securely in the cloud. By modernizing and implementing protective measures, security has been significantly improved and the system can continue to meet the company's requirements.
