Description: The term ‘Legacy’ refers to obsolete systems or software that, despite their age, continue to be used in various applications. These systems can include everything from software platforms to communication protocols that, although surpassed by more modern technologies, remain operational due to their stability, compatibility, or the difficulty of migrating to new solutions. Legacy can encompass everything from operating systems and applications to hardware that, while not actively developed, are essential for the functioning of certain infrastructures. The existence of legacy software poses significant challenges in terms of maintenance, security, and updates, as they often lack official support and can be vulnerable to attacks. However, their use persists in many organizations due to the investment made in their implementation and the resistance to change that may exist in corporate environments. In this context, legacy not only represents a challenge but also an opportunity for innovation, as many companies seek ways to integrate or replace these obsolete systems with new technologies that offer improvements in efficiency and security.
