![]() Eleven years on, ESET Endpoint Security version 7.3, freshly released this May, packs a powerful punch of protection, truly unmatched by 2009 technology. ![]() Surprised? Some enterprises with a penchant for the antique continue to cling to version 4, even for dear life. At present, ESET still supports version 4 of ESET Endpoint Security, a product that was built back in 2009. To address this ESET has endeavored to simplify its product offering via a new End of Life (EOL) Policy. But the rapidly evolving nature of cyberthreats, along with the increasingly capable actors taking interest in cyberespionage and attacks, have dramatically shifted the balance, and now the risks from not updating quickly tip in the wrong direction. That might have worked in previous times, when computer viruses were still in fledgling form. After all, they’ve all heard the horror stories of update failures. As the old adage goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Inspired by this piece of wisdom, some businesses have felt confident in protecting their endpoints even with versions of antivirus software that are more than eight years old, so long as business operations could continue unaffected.
