Security News > 2020 > August > August 2020 Patch Tuesday forecast: Planning for the end?
The operational lifespan of an operating system version is shrinking, and the model has changed as Microsoft moved to the software-as-a-service model for Windows 10.
Double check your applications to ensure compatibility as you make the operating system upgrades on these systems - you only have 2-3 months left!
There will be situations where you'll reach the end of support and there won't be new patches for the system, but you need to maintain the operating systems and their legacy applications to meet business needs.
August 2020 Patch Tuesday forecast Expect a normal set of operating system and application updates, including ESUs, from Microsoft.
Patching remains critical for the tactical protection of your systems, but strategic planning for the ongoing upgrades of operating systems and applications is the key to their long-term stability and security.
