Windows 10 hits EoL on October 14
Windows 10 reached end-of-life, ending security updates and future improvements.
Over 40% of global endpoints still run Windows 10, posing serious security risks
Financial firms face budget constraints and legacy infrastructure challenges delaying modernization
Today Windows 10, one of the most popular operating systems to ever grace the PC, reached its end-of-life status (EoL), meaning it will no longer receive crucial security updates, important improvements, or upgrades.
Despite the deadline being public knowledge for years, many endpoints worldwide are still running the OS, risking device takeover, data exfiltration, and a myriad of other threats that are bound to appear sooner or later.
Coinciding with the EoL date, two companies analyzed the market to understand just how big the potential threat landscape is, and came back with astonishing results. Cloudhouse surveyed 135 finance IT leaders and found 60% still running “a large number” of servers and desktops with unsupported versions of Windows OS.
