Dealing with Windows 10 End of Life may be more complicated than only updating to Windows 11. Why? Because most older computers can’t run it.
That means that in addition to moving your business to Windows 11 (which takes time in and of itself) you may also need to buy, set-up and configure new computers as well. This means more time, more budget, and more planning than expected, which is all the more reason to start working on your roadmap right now.
Outdated systems are a favorite target for hackers. When Microsoft stops issuing patches, any new vulnerability discovered in Windows 10 will stay wide open. Attackers know this and actively scan networks for old operating systems. Delaying action can lead to serious business consequences:
outdated software Can result in major data breaches
Thousands of companies using unpatched VMware servers were hit with ransomware that encrypted critical virtual machines. Victims lost access to key applications and data for days or weeks. Many businesses lost access to core systems for days or weeks, resulting in revenue loss, operational shutdowns, and in some cases, permanent business closure due to unrecoverable data.
Attackers exploited unpatched versions of the PaperCut print server used in schools, hospitals, and small businesses. The flaw allowed ransomware groups to gain full control of systems and spread laterally. Many businesses lost access to core systems for days or weeks, resulting in revenue loss, operational shutdowns, and in some cases, permanent business closure due to unrecoverable data.
Hackers exploited known vulnerabilities in outdated Fortinet firewall firmware to gain remote access to internal networks.
Targeted firms experienced unauthorized access to client data, were forced into expensive incident response efforts, and had cyber insurance claims denied for failing to patch known risks.
On Oct. 10, Windows 10 devices become low-hanging fruit.
The bottom line is that when you use unsupported software, you make it easy for cybercriminals.
