Windows 10 is end-of-life. How much of your fleet went with it?
Support ended October 14, 2025. Machines still on Windows 10 without Extended Security Updates accumulate unpatched vulnerabilities every month — and unsupported systems now read as findings to auditors, not footnotes. SAUTERA scans your fleet and scores every device's end-of-life exposure honestly. Ten devices free, no card, a working verdict in under an hour.
The clock
This risk compounds monthly, not annually
October 14, 2025
Windows 10 end of support. Every vulnerability found since stays unpatched on machines without Extended Security Updates — and attackers know exactly where migration lags.
Roughly half
Studies of enterprise endpoints through mid-2025 put about half of them still on Windows 10 at the deadline. If your fleet was typical then, part of it is a soft target now.
ESU is a bridge, not a plan
Extended Security Updates are costly, temporary, and start expiring on their own schedule. Auditors and regulators increasingly treat unsupported systems as unacceptable either way.
And Windows 10 is only the loudest example. Server operating systems, Linux distributions, runtimes, and network firmware all carry their own end-of-life clocks — most fleets are carrying several at once. The question isn’t whether you have EOL exposure; it’s whether anyone can name it. Read why we score supportability, not age.
The free scan
What you see in the first hour
Install the Witness sensor on Windows or Linux, or point agentless collection (SSH, WMI, SNMP) at what you already run. Then read the verdict.
Every past-EOL system, named
Operating systems and software past end-of-life are identified from a lifecycle database that our own build pipeline fails if it goes stale — because a trust platform scoring your EOL risk from a rotten table would be the exact failure it exists to detect.
A trust verdict with a floor, not a vibe
Past-EOL software can never score Trusted here, no matter how healthy the device looks today. Approaching end-of-life caps a device at Degraded. The floor is the honesty.
Patch currency on the same bands, every OS
Windows and Linux are measured on identical patch-currency bands — a host 100 days behind lands on the same number either way. No platform gets graded on a curve.
What we can't see, marked Unknown
Coverage you don't have reads as an honest Unknown — never a confident guess. You learn your blind spots along with your exposure.
The worst devices surface first on the BEACON triage board, so the hour ends with a ranked list, not a spreadsheet project. Zero Trust tells you who. SAUTERA tells you whether — and an end-of-life host is the clearest “whether” there is: a trusted user on a compromised host is still a breach.
Straight talk — what the free tier is
Free is real scoring on 10 devices, read-only, no card, no expiry. You see each device’s qualitative trust band; precise numeric scores, fleet-wide reporting, and the closed remediation loop are paid-tier capabilities — and we’d rather tell you that here than surprise you inside. If ten devices show you a problem, the rest of your fleet has the same problem at scale. That’s the point of the scan.
Name your exposure before an attacker or an auditor does.
