We live in a world where technology is central to everyday life, yet unfortunately it does not last forever. Eventually, your smartphone, laptop, smartwatch, or other device will reach its end of life, or EOL. This is when the manufacturer stops supplying critical updates—including security.

Comprehensive EOL Information for Your Devices, Operating Systems, and Programs

Your technology needs to remain supported for several reasons, but security is by far the most important.

Without security updates on your devices, you can expect an uptick in cybersecurity issues for your business. This is because hackers tend to follow EOL dates closely, then leap at any chance they can to attack devices that are no longer protected by their manufacturers. It’s insidious, but it’s the way they operate, and it’s shockingly effective.

You can prevent that by using endoflife.date..

This website allows you to track the EOL dates for 340 products, detailing when they were released and how long remains until they are donezo. Since all of the information is in one place, it’s far easier to keep track of all the details. You can update your devices or upgrade applications as needed, well in advance of the actual EOL date.

The site provides multiple ways to find the information you’re looking for, making it a helpful tool that you should consider using.

If Your Tech Isn’t on Endoflife.date, Don’t Worry

You can’t expect a website to have all the possible information for every piece of business software (although that’d be pretty cool).

If you need information that is unavailable on the site, you can contact the manufacturer or check their website. Most will have this information available to the public, so you can simply search for it and access it that way. In addition, you can also reach out to us to schedule an evaluation of your current IT.

What Will You Do Now?

As far as we’re concerned, you have a choice to make.

Understanding how EOL works and taking action are two different things. As a business owner, you have an obligation to protect your organization by any means available. It doesn’t take long to pick up the phone and call Tritek Networks to address your EOL concerns—especially with the Windows 10 EOL event on the horizon.
