What Are the Risks of Unsupported Software?

Using unsupported software leaves organisations and their IT systems vulnerable to a combination of risks:

• Lack of software updates creates vulnerabilities leading to system breaks, data loss, and increased exposure to malicious threats or ransomware
• Incompatibility issues arise, making it impossible to run with other software, databases, or causing integration and automation problems
• Compliance concerns emerge as software may no longer meet necessary regulations, potentially leading to data privacy issues, breaches, and fines
• Poor performance ensues with software slowdowns, making routine tasks time-consuming and increasing inefficiencies
• Demotivated employees experience reduced productivity due to spending time on bug fixing and concerns about keeping their skills current whilst working with outdated software
• Business continuity suffers from downtime needed for repairs
• Troubleshooting becomes challenging with discontinued support, requiring specialised solutions.
