The intersection of cloud and cyber

In this four-part podcast series we shine a light on how federal leaders can best leverage the cloud in the most secure ways possible—for enhancing IT and overall mission success.

Episode 1: Reduce IT Risk by Managing EOL Software

Tom Boudreau, Flexera Senior Solutions Engineer discusses:

  • How federal agencies must keep pace as products reach end-of-life (EOL) or end-of-support (EOS) and become obsolete; this gives rise to security vulnerabilities, performance and productivity issues, and prohibits agency development
  • How Flexera helps to manage EOL software by giving agencies easy access to IT asset data through clear, concise and shareable dashboards
  • Best practices for managing EOL and EOS software, including understanding your assets and knowing your product EOL dates
