Security News > 2023 > February > The dangers of unsupported applications

Of course, it's impossible to completely protect your business if you are running outdated systems or using unsupported applications.

Unsupported applications and systems present an inescapable risk: critical security patches or updates can't - or won't - be provided and/or implemented.

If your business is looking to protect against the risks inherent in using outdated or unsupported systems and apps, conducting a comprehensive application security assessment is a good place to start.

A complete application security assessment should give your business visibility into how applications are used across your workforce and any threats these apps pose.

If you find unsupported apps being used, your business should devise a plan to retire or replace these applications and implement it immediately.

The dangers of using unsupported apps are too large to ignore, and the reality is that those businesses still relying on outdated or supported products should have a plan in place to retire or replace them.
