Outdated PCs Are Holes In Your Cybersecurity Armor

Dell Technologies, Tuesday, November 5th, 2024

Modernize your fleet to stay cyber resilient and ahead of attackers. Learn how Dell can help.

Remember the story of the Greek hero Achilles? As a child, his mother dipped him in the River Styx to make him invincible - but she missed his heel. Adversaries discovered the vulnerability and used it in battle, leading to Achilles' demise. PC security works the same way. Even with strong security measures, neglecting one vulnerability, like outdated technology or unpatched software, will leave you exposed.

The moral of the story: If any PCs on your fleet are four years old, your organization could be at risk. Windows 10 support ends October 2025. Older PCs will stop receiving security updates, new feature updates and technical support. What's more, they may not meet Windows 11 requirements.
