There are still a lot of admins that still run on Domino 9 or lower, even though HCL has invested a great deal into the latest versions of Domino. So, why update if the apps still work?<\/span><\/p>\n The axiom that you don\u2019t fix something that is not broken does not necessarily apply to this situation as older versions do have bugs, vulnerabilities that can be exploited, especially since hackers have had 13 plus years to analyze any potential crack in the system.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are the most important risk areas when running on an old version of Domino:<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.prominic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Upgrade-to-Domino12.png” alt=”Upgrade to Domino12″ title_text=”Upgrade to Domino12″ _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] Regarding security, truth be told, hacking a Notes Domino environment is indeed a challenge; however, there are components in Notes \/ Domino, the environment does have dependencies and those components are the ones susceptible to vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.prominic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Upgrade-to-Domino12_1.png” alt=”Upgrade to Domino12 Security Risks” title_text=”Upgrade to Domino12_1″ _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] One note to keep in mind: HCL does still support Domino 9 and 10. The tricky part is that there are versions of Domino 9 and Domino 10 that at the time they came out they supported certain Operating Systems. Since that point in time those OS are no longer supported by their vendors. Moving into the next calendar year of 2022 HCL will offer no further hotfixes or fix packages for those specific platforms. <\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] For a better overview here are the Domino V9 and 10 Operating Systems End of Support Dates<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.prominic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Upgrade-to-Domino12_2.png” alt=”Upgrade to Domino12 end of support OS” title_text=”Upgrade to Domino12_2″ _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] Up to a point the old releases are holding you back.
