Software End of Life Management

Long Machine Service Life = Challenges for Industrial PCs

A machine service life of 20 years or more is not uncommon. But what happens to the industrial PCs installed within the machine? Are you faced with the challenge of managing outdated software? Our ondeso SR tool supports you with software end of life management in production.

 

How to Stay in Control of your End of Life OT Clients:

  • Inventory and group OT clients
  • Install security patches (as long as available in the Microsoft ESU program)
  • Close USB and RDP interfaces
  • Capture installed software
  • Distribute third-party software, e.g. whitelisting tools
  • Implement hardening measures, e.g. adjust configurations, uninstall software or deactivate services

 

You can make statements about the status of the OT clients at any time and are able to analyse the utilization rate.
