Are you still running IBM Domino and IBM Notes v9.x or v10.x? It is crucial to recognize the potential risks of sticking with older versions. Some of the most common ways that hackers successfully target companies is to exploit vulnerabilities in outdated software given their lack of advanced security mechanisms. HCLSoftware is committed to helping our customers lower their security risks and reduce your organization’s exposure to major security vulnerabilities.
Since IBM Domino v10, HCLSoftware has released 122 new security updates that address known vulnerabilities and enhance the overall security of your Domino environment. Updating your older IBM software to the latest HCL Domino v14 release is the safest and most expedient way to reduce your exposure to these threats.
Another key risk factor for companies involves running software on outdated operating systems no longer supported by the vendor. Operating systems that are no longer supported means no more bug fixes or security updates are available. Hackers exploit these vulnerabilities because this is low-hanging fruit for launching attacks. As an example, Microsoft no longer supports their 2012, 2016, and 2019 Windows server versions, and IBM Domino running v9.x or v10.x on these servers operate in a far less secure environment. If you are on IBM Domino v9.x or v10.x, there’s a very limited number of operating systems you may use.
Updating your HCL Domino/Notes software and servers is the best way to combat these challenges. Not only can you minimize your data security risk, but you also gain access to the latest Domino feature set, with over 2,400 new features added since Domino v10. Also, you can skip upgrading your Notes client if you move to HCL Nomad web client with a CCB License. Check out our latest webinar to learn more. We are here to help you plan your Domino software upgrade.
However, if you must stay on IBM Domino and IBM Notes v9.x and v10.x for a bit longer, we are offering extended support valid through June 2, 2025 – only, with no further extended support extensions. We highly recommend you upgrade right away.
