Takeaways Cloud Computing

On Volley, Carolyn April and Seth Robinson welcome Nancy Hammervik, executive vice president, industry relations at CompTIA, to discuss the upcoming issue of CompTIA World Magazine, available August 5. “We’ve been hearing that tech’s been getting a little bit of a bad rap the past few years, when we’re looking at issues like data breeches, but also the fear of losing jobs and privacy concerns and big brother. The more that we advance into the future world of tech, the more that the general public seems to fear the unknown that tech might bring in changing our world. We really wanted focus as a theme on ‘Tech for Good,’ and highlight all of the things that technology is doing to improve lives and literally change the world.”

Bryan came back for another session about operating system (OS) updates. He covered Windows, macOS and several distros of Linux, including Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

“We tend to focus on buzzwords like release date,” he said. “But what happens in the in-between phase?”

Regarding Windows, Bryan explained there are two support phases: mainstream support and extended support, but extended support is reserved for enterprises with thousands of endpoints that are spending thousands of dollars. He warned IT pros to keep up with update and support schedules to make sure their systems don’t become vulnerable.

“We look at end of life dates and think we're safe until then,” he said. “But you might not be supported now, and you're unaware of it. … Regardless of the operating system, it does need to be patched, or it presents a vulnerability inside of your networks.”
