EOS (End of Support)
End of Support (EOS) refers to the point in a software product's lifecycle when the manufacturer or provider no longer offers updates, patches, bug fixes, or technical assistance. This status signals that the software will not receive any further security or performance improvements.
EOS is different from End of Life (EOL), though the two often occur close together. While EOL marks the complete retirement of a product, EOS focuses specifically on the end of maintenance and support services.
Using EOS software can pose security and compliance risks, as vulnerabilities are no longer addressed. It also increases operational costs due to the lack of vendor assistance and compatibility with newer systems.
Organizations are typically advised to migrate to supported versions or alternative solutions before EOS is reached. Planning ahead helps maintain system integrity and reduce the risk of downtime or breaches.
