On January 10, 2023, Microsoft stopped providing security updates or technical support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. With no support or patches for any new security vulnerability, all Windows 7/8.1 systems and servers will become easy targets for hackers and malware attacks.
Legacy systems and servers on unsupported operating software provide attackers an opportunity to infiltrate your networks and move laterally to gain access to sensitive date and critical applications. Such attacks could bring your business to a screeching halt.
