This means Microsoft will no longer be providing technical support for security threats, bug fixes or address any other potential problems. Without any future updates, specifically security updates, it creates an opportunity for malicious actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully Android OS systems have emerged as the leading replacement for these now out-of-date devices. Devices like Zebra\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/zebra\/part-mc930b-gsedg4na.htm\">MC930B-GSEDG4NA Mobile Handheld Computer<\/a> don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just offer upgraded durability and functionality from existing tools, they offer Android\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s security from external threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>The Danger Facing Your Facility with Windows OS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Going without security updates, warehouses that continue to use Windows OS systems will be exposed to an ever-growing list of threats and vulnerabilities. Many of the older Windows OS devices are already unprepared for the security challenges of today. As hackers discover and begin to exploit deficiencies, companies using these systems could face serious production problems. Devices may stop working or you may have your data stolen, either of which would impact your company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s operational performance and bottom line.&nbsp; Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wait until your system is breached!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Android Security Assurance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For years now, Android has deployed a steady stream of security enhancements, such as NSA \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Security Enhanced\u00e2\u20ac\u009d features, per-users VPN, and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Android continues to supply regular security updates and patches more rapidly than any other operating system, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/zebra\/?search=zebra&amp;redirect=true\">including updates to Zebra devices<\/a>. Android OS devices boast plentiful built-in security features that include<strong> data security, app security, and device security.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Secure Your Operations Today<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Switching from Windows OS devices to Android can be simple when you partner with Barcodes, Inc.
