Don’t wait for disruption to expose critical gaps in traditional IT disaster recovery plans. Stromasys Charon transforms your legacy infrastructure into cloud-ready DR without any modifications.
We have seen the rise in geopolitical tensions in 2026. Relying on decades-old hardware is no longer an IT inconvenience but a critical business risk. Here are 5 major challenges that threaten continuity:
Trade wars and sanctions have made replacement parts for legacy systems unobtainable. Hardware failure now means permanent shutdown.
Rising geopolitical instability has made legacy systems a liability. The maintenance costs that were affordable yesterday may become very expensive overnight.
Outdated systems lack modern encryption and no longer receive security patches, making them highly vulnerable to state-sponsored espionage.
Traditional physical systems are not easy to replace across borders during crises. In case of conflict, hitting your primary data center, you need a Plan B.
New regulations like DORA demand robust DR capabilities, but legacy systems cannot meet modern compliance standards.
Legacy systems are serious business liabilities. Here’s what real numbers reveal about them:
25% of global leaders have identified the rise of interstate armed conflicts as a top risk. While 19% are concerned about growth threats to infrastructure.

31% of businesses have failed to update their IT disaster recovery plans in over a year, leaving their infrastructure vulnerable. (Cutover)
In 2024, there were 3,158 data breaches in the US, affecting more than 1.35 billion individuals.
