Would you drink milk past its expiration date? Probably not—because you know it could make you sick. Yet, many organizations keep using software long past its End-of-Life (EOL) date, exposing themselves to security breaches, compliance failures, and operational breakdowns. Just like spoiled food, outdated software can have hidden dangers that aren’t always visible—until it’s too late.

In this talk, we’ll explore:

- What happens when software expires? (Like food, software deteriorates over time)

- The hidden risks of EOL software (Security vulnerabilities = the mold you don’t see)

- Why do businesses ‘keep’ expired software (Cost? Inconvenience? Same reason some people keep old condiments!)

- Best practices for a healthy eating (Regular upgrades, patching, and a strong tech lifecycle strategy) based on our experience managing a EoL Software at Okta.

- Case studies of organizations that ‘got food poisoning’ (Real-world consequences of ignoring EOL software)
