Sophos: Important Product Lifecycle Reminder
| In July 2020, Sophos announced the End of Sale (EOS) and End of Life (EOL) dates for several products. Updates since July 2020 include: • All those products have now reached End of Sale and can no longer be purchased by new customers • Existing customers of these products can renew until the End of Life date • Some products have already reached their End of Life date and are no longer supported or operational For many of the remaining products, only 2 years remain until they reach their End of Life date. We strongly suggest you start planning a migration strategy and start your move to the recommended Sophos products. Given the aggressive nature of attacks that we continue to see across the industry, along with the ever-increasing pace of cybersecurity, customers should ensure that they have regular patching and upgrade plans. The list below details the products included in the announcement of July 2020 with a reminder of their End of Life date and migration path.
