We often talk about how important it is that your business use the most recent and up-to-date versions of your software solutions, but it\u2019s not often that we get to say that people using Internet Explorer 11 have the right idea. As it turns out, nearly a quarter of all Windows PCs are still using unsupported versions of Internet Explorer, with half of them being found on computers still running Windows XP. What has this world come to?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Researchers at Duo Security came to this conclusion following an analysis of over two million devices. In particular, those who were using Windows XP were likely to be running older versions of Internet Explorer, and were most susceptible to hacking attacks and infections from viruses and malware. This past January, Microsoft stopped supporting all versions of Internet Explorer that aren\u2019t the current version (Internet Explorer 11), which means that there are plenty of active web browsers that are vulnerable. Among those included are Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9, and 10. In fact, half of the PCs running Windows XP are still running Internet Explorer 7 and 8.<\/p>\n
Duo Security also found that 72 percent of versions of Java and 60 percent of versions of Flash are out of date on user devices, both of which are huge statistics that speak volumes about how end-users handle their technology. It\u2019s an accident just waiting to happen, especially in conjunction with outdated web browsers and operating systems. As a business owner, it\u2019s your responsibility to ensure that your technology is in proper working order, and that your workstations aren\u2019t putting your company at risk.<\/p>\n
Keeping your business\u2019s mission-critical technology up to date with the latest security patches and updates is a crucial part of managing your IT infrastructure. Considering the fact that all it takes is a single workstation that\u2019s out of date to put your business at risk, you shouldn\u2019t be willing to compromise your organization\u2019s security just to keep using the same old technology. Therefore, you need to take proactive measures to upgrade your technology before it reaches its end of support date.<\/p>\n
Upgrading your technology can be a challenge, but with COMPANYNAME by your side, it\u2019s much easier. We can thoroughly assess your organization\u2019s specific needs, and consult you on how best to move forward with your chosen technology upgrade. The last thing that you want is to go forward with an upgrade and find that you no longer have access to your mission-critical legacy applications.<\/p>\n
Or, if you\u2019re simply having trouble keeping up with your technology\u2019s patches and security updates, we have a solution for that too. COMPANYNAME can remotely monitor and distribute patches and security updates for all of your software solutions, including your operating systems!
