The EOL Trap: Why Supply Chain Risk is Often Born of Neglect, Not Malice
About the Security Event
End of Life software has become a growing compliance and security risk, especially as frameworks like SOC 2 and PCI DSS treat unsupported systems as business liabilities. This session examines how organizations get caught in the EOL trap when legacy applications remain in production long after support ends, creating exposure that is difficult to eliminate quickly.
HeroDevs and Anchore walk through practical steps to identify operating system and package level EOL risks that traditional scanners may overlook. The speakers demonstrate how to assess technical debt, maintain compliance and reduce exposure without forcing disruptive migrations. Attendees will see how replacement packages and improved visibility can help security leaders meet risk requirements while allowing development teams to maintain delivery speed.
