Why adding “End of Life” to your cybersecurity vocabulary is a good idea

What is EOL?
End of Life is a policy change, applying to platforms or products, that has reached the end of its useful life. This decision is made by the manufacturer and typically occurs many years after the software’s or hardware’s production.
EOL policies evolve with the aim of reducing the number of older product versions that demand constant attention and maintenance. Why do providers do this? To focus time and resources on newer products so that they get the attention they need to protect our customers against new arising threats. Progress cannot be stopped, but attempts are constantly made via new threats to interrupt our journey forward. ESET is here to protect progress, so instead of resisting this momentum, we should ensure we not only appreciate the new technology but also the new threats. The newer the product, the better it is adapted to protect in the current threat environment. This will allow for better protection and make for a smoother experience for our business customers.
It is very important, and we strongly advise our users, to always run the latest version of ESET products. Users should also ensure that other critical software, especially your device’s Operating System (OS), is up to date and fully supported. The status of your OS is very important as it can have many implications to core functions and security too. For example, there have recently been changes to Window´s End of Life policy.

The upgrade to the latest ESET product versions has always been at “no cost,” and that is still the case to this day; the fact that access to new product versions is included in the price of your valid license remains unchanged. In this way, updates allow users to employ the most advanced security technologies that are high performing and easy to use, all of which help make our products more effective for you.
