An unsupported operating system becomes more dangerous as time goes by.
Linux kernels, libraries, and packages are frequently patched to guard against new security vulnerabilities. When you use a Linux distribution that is no longer supported by the vendor, you will not receive corresponding updates. Your operating system will not be protected. That puts your servers, your data, and your business at risk of a cyberattack.
Protect your servers and stay compliant with Extended Lifecycle Support services from TuxCare. A simple, affordable monthly fee buys you the time you need to migrate to a supported operating system or to upgrade to the newest version of your current Linux flavor.
