Unsupported Systems and Applications
Vulnerabilities of unsupported systems and applications, including legacy and third-party software, are prime targets for malicious actors. The risks associated with these outdated software components can be fertile ground for potential cyber threats. Hackers are adept at exploiting known vulnerabilities to which patches or updates have not been applied. By targeting these software gaps, attackers can gain unauthorized access, exfiltrate sensitive data, or launch large-scale attacks such as ransomware infections.
