runZero Hour, Ep. 23: Beyond the veil with end-of-life OSes

When and why legacy becomes liability in your network

Legacy doesn’t mean harmless — it means haunted.

In this episode of runZero Hour Rob King, Tod Beardsley, and captn3m0, technology necromancer, EOL expert and creator of endoflife.date, for summon insights from runZero’s latest research, "Undead by design: Benchmarking end-of-life operating systems", which digs deep into real customer networks to expose just how many forgotten systems are still...alive.

They talk through:

  • "Winpocalypse", the end of life for Windows 10
  • Why EOL OSes persist well beyond their best-by dates
  • And what IT teams can do to identify and protect decaying assets...before they rise with a taste for corruption
