There are certainly arguments for and against adopting both on-premise software services and cloud-based software services. While there may continue to be many companies to deploy on-premise software, it is only a matter of time before the adopt cloud-based software services, as a result of low hardware costs, easy remote cloud management and high potential for scalability.
On one hand, we have a cloud-based software that once the initial deployment has taken place, all other functions can be configured, managed and updated remotely. On the other, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages for on-premise software deployments due to the regular on-site maintenance and customization resulting in higher costs.

A vulnerability in Apple’s Airport Express Base Station could facilitate hackers taking control of your network. So if you have yet to update your firmware, we recommend you do so in order to prevent any risk of intrusion.
Apple announced a security vulnerability with the Airport Express Router which could lead to malware attacks. Apple stated that the “memory corruption issue [that] existed in DNS data parsing” could allow an attacker to execute code on devices connected to a network. Even if no reports of this vulnerability have been exploited so far, current users of the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule (with WiFi 4 or WiFi 5), should update their router firmware to prevent any risk of intrusion from hackers.
