Software End of Life (EoL) / End of Service (EoS)
January 2023
Software End of Life (EoL) / End of Service (EoS)
The concepts of EoL and EoS terms may be foreign to you. This campaign breaks down why software end-of-life (EoL) and end-of-support (EoS) matter and what actions need to be taken to ensure IT systems stay functional and secure.
Value Proposition: Discover why it’s important to take action when the software your organization runs on reaches end-of-life (EoL) or end-of-support (EoS). While they might still function, reaching either status means critical patches and updates are no longer provided. Learn how to keep your technology up to date.
EoL / EoS – What is it? Why does it matter?
- Security implications – no longer receiving patches and other updates, making it easier for threat actors to exploit.
- Privacy implications – if no longer supported or updated by the vendor and it holds sensitive information, there could be a risk of receiving a data privacy fine.

Are you familiar with the concept of EoS in technology?
It stands for End of Service. Other terms used interchangeably are End of Life and End of Support.
It refers to when a specific software or hardware product will no longer receive updates or technical support. Understanding EoS is crucial for organizations to plan and budget for future upgrades and replacements.
Ignoring the expiration date of your software and hardware could push you into a rabbit hole.

End of Support signifies that a manufacturer will no longer offer standard support services for software or hardware. This includes identifying and resolving technical problems, hardware and software upgrades, or supporting new and known defects.
In other words, relying on End-of-Life technologies puts the compatibility, performance, compliance, and cybersecurity of your IT infrastructure at risk.
