Is your technology silently holding your business hostage? You’re not alone.
Many organizations overlook critical vulnerabilities until they become costly problems. When Windows 10 reaches end of life, your devices will still boot—but they will no longer receive the security fixes, stability updates, or support your teams rely on. Over time, that gap widens into an open door for attackers and auditors alike.
At first glance, losing vendor support sounds like a minor inconvenience. In reality, it creates vulnerabilities that can have a major impact on your business operations, customer experience, and compliance posture.
Why you should care: it’s bigger than IT
The Windows 10 deadline stretches across the entire organization—touching finance, legal, HR, operations, and the front lines. Here are the biggest risks:
Cybersecurity threats
Without regular security updates, unsupported systems become low-effort targets for attackers.
Compliance concerns
Regulated industries require supported software. Outdated endpoints jeopardize certifications and contracts.
Operational disruption
Legacy devices fall out of alignment with modern apps and integrations, slowing teams and workflows.
