And while the notice didn’t state this specifically, they did imply that the onus would be on the organizations to protect their user’s data. How serious is the risk? If we step back in time, you may remember that, when Windows ended support for Windows 7 in January 2021, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a warning to industry users that the platform was open to risk, vulnerabilities, and exploits. This poses a serious organizational and personal risk for executives responsible for the security of your digital infrastructure. If your organization uses Windows Server 20 R2 after Oct 2023, you’ll be vulnerable to cyberattacks and compliance risks. Microsoft will stop providing technical support and bug fixes for newly discovered issues that may impact the usability or stability of servers running the two products. Released in October 2012, Windows Server 2012 passed the original EOS date over three years ago, on October 9, 2018. This will officially spell the end of extended end-of-support (EOS).
