Certified - CompTIA CYSA+

Running outdated software isn't just inconvenient—it’s dangerous. In this episode, we explore the risks posed by end-of-life (EOL) systems and unsupported components, which often lack vendor patches, security updates, or compatibility with modern security tools. You'll learn how attackers specifically target legacy platforms due to known vulnerabilities and weak default settings.

We also examine how to detect legacy risk during assessments, how to escalate findings when business dependencies prevent upgrades, and how compensating controls can reduce exposure when replacement isn’t immediately possible. This episode helps you understand how analysts approach risk management decisions involving legacy infrastructure—and how these decisions show up on the CySA+ exam.
