Have you updated to the latest version of Windows 11 yet? If not, it’s time to act – Microsoft has announced when it will end support for older versions (and it’s soon!).

When you think of cyber security you might automatically think it’s a problem for IT support.

But in reality, it’s something that every single person in your business should be responsible for.

Why? Because a cyber attack can catch anyone out at any time.

That means you and your team will be better protected if you make security a whole business concern, and not just an “IT thing”.

Every single person in your business should understand the risks, and importantly, how to avoid them.

It includes everything from customer and employee files to project data, and even your financial information.

But it’s too easy to lose – and happens more than you might think.

Here are some scary data loss stats, and the easiest solution to keep your data safe…

You log on to your computer and find… nothing. No customer data, no project files, no financial information. It’s all gone.

That’s a terrifying thought for any business, and it’s more common than you’d believe.

On October 14, 2025, Windows 10 will officially reach its end of life.

That means Microsoft will stop providing updates.

No security patches, bug fixes, or feature enhancements.

Running an unsupported operating system puts your computer – and business – at risk.
