Cynet 360 autonomous breach protection is a good example of a multilayered advanced protection solution that can enables organizations who run Windows 7 to remain secure despite the end of support.

"The reality is that Windows 7 is alive and kicking in many organizations even if Microsoft chooses not to protect them anymore. It should be a wake-up call to any CISO to ask himself or herself how to adjust to this new reality".

What indeed can be done to protect Windows 7 machines in the post EOL era? Gruner explains that this is where multilayered protection should step in.

"One of our main guidelines when building Cynet 360 was to be able to operate in a fast-changing environment, meaning that every type of attack is analyzed from multiple perspectives, each resulting with a different protecting mechanism. If we take exploits targeting Windows 7 as an example, there is first the exploit protection per-se. By closely monitoring process behavior in memory, the detection engine can easily detect behavioral patterns that are typical to exploits and would never occur in a legitimate process."

Is Windows 7 EOL a reason to be concerned? Probably yes.
