Review End-of-Life Programs
Applies To: WatchGuard Patch Management
End-of-life programs do not receive updates from the software vendor and are particularly vulnerable to malware and other security threats.
You can use the End-of-Life Programs list in WatchGuard Patch Management (or Vulnerability Assessment) to identify which computers in your network run programs that are, or will soon be, end-of-life.
We recommend that you replace end-of-life programs with a more recent version or a different program.
To see end-of-life programs, in Patch Management:
- In WatchGuard Cloud, select Monitor > Endpoints.
- Select Status.
- From the left pane, select Patch Management.
- In the End-of-Life Programs tile, click a number:
- Currently in EOL — Programs on the network that have reached end-of-life and do not receive updates from the vendor.
- In EOL (Currently or in 1 Year) — Programs on the network that have reached end-of-life, or will reach end-of-life in the next year.
- With Known EOL Date — Programs on the network with a known end-of-life date more than one year in the future.
