.NET and Java: LTS, runtimes, and a secure support path
Runtime and framework upgrades as modernization: .NET, Java LTS, security of older stacks, and the compliance angle buyers search. North American context.
LTS and compliance together
CISOs ask when unsupported runtimes will leave the network. The SEO need is a staged upgrade with test coverage and back-out, not a one-line upgrade button.
Frequently asked questions
Is running an unsupported .NET or Java a compliance issue?
Often yes: insurers, frameworks, and your own CISO can treat it as unacceptable risk. The defensible plan is a timeline, compensating short-term controls, and funded remediation.
Should we upgrade the runtime before or after cloud migration?
It depends on blast radius. Sometimes a lift-and-shift buys time, but carrying unsupported runtimes to the cloud is rarely the long-term win. A realistic plan sequences upgrade waves with test coverage.
