Exam SY0-701 topic 1 question 132 discussion

The most likely security implication that the security team would document is patch availability. End-of-life operating systems no longer receive security updates or patches from the vendor, which leaves them vulnerable to newly discovered exploits and vulnerabilities. This lack of ongoing support means that any security flaws found in the operating systems will not be addressed, increasing the risk of compromise.

A. Patch availability The primary security implication of using end-of-life operating systems is the lack of patch availability. End-of-life systems no longer receive security updates or patches from the vendor, making them vulnerable to known exploits and security vulnerabilities that will not be fixed. This poses a significant risk to the security of the kiosks and the overall network. Therefore, the correct answer is: A. Patch availability

The question is not asking for a solution to the legacy system, but rather asking what information needs to be documented in this scenario. Additionally, determining replacement costs is not a cybersecurity responsibility, as security teams can only recommend replacement while vendors provide the actual cost estimates

Patch availability is a critical concern for maintaining the security and integrity of systems. The absence of patches for EOL systems is a major security risk that the security team would likely document as a primary concern
