The DCOM Countdown: What Manufacturers Need To Know

The DCOM clock is ticking! Are you prepared for March 2023?

In 2021, Microsoft acknowledged a critical vulnerability in its Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) protocol. Even if you’ve never heard of DCOM, there’s a high likelihood that your current software systems rely on it in order to function properly. If you don’t already have plans in place to assess and remediate the problem, then you need to act quickly because the security measures being implemented by Microsoft could cause unwanted issues and disruptions. Beginning in March of 2023, you won’t be able to disable Microsoft’s changes, and you may be left with no short-term workarounds.

This webinar will help you understand how best to prepare and avoid unnecessary delays, disruptions, or outages!
