Security software still needs lifecycle management. A gateway, mail-security platform or patch-management tool cannot protect the business well if the product itself is running an unsupported release.
GFI’s support policy explains that older major versions stop receiving support and maintenance after the latest major release has been available, and recommends staying current for fixes and features. That makes version inventory and maintenance entitlement part of security operations, not just procurement administration.
Blue Chip Technologies can help you record deployed GFI versions, confirm support status, plan upgrades and test critical policies after each change. We also review whether each installation can still receive the fixes and assistance your business may need during an incident. Contact us for a practical GFI maintenance review.
