Taking inventory is a challenge for some as 8% of the respondents said they're not sure if their businesses still had PCs running Windows 7.

Among organizations with more than 100,000 endpoints, that percentage rises to 45%. Companies that haven't started a migration or are in the middle of one are all at risk as long as they still have network-connected Windows 7 computers.

"While a lot of companies have migrated the majority of their systems away from Windows 7, being 'almost there' isn't good enough. It only takes a handful of unsecured devices to launch a full-scale cyberattack, so having even one or two Windows 7 PCs on your network could pose a serious risk," O'Connor said.
