If you're using your laptop for your child's homework assignments or keeping your fledgling small business going, you might be tempted to not update your device or software that often. After all, it’s getting the job done, and as the saying goes, “If it’s ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” A lot of people think this way. A recent report found that most people in 2018 are using computers that are on average six years old. Only 2.54 percent of users have a machine purchased in 2017, and nearly 75 percent of users who own a device bought it in 2011 or earlier. The problem with relying on an older computer is that updating to newer software – from apps to operating systems – can become more difficult. More importantly, relying on outdated operating systems, file- and print-sharing utilities, and applications can expose your computer and all the data you keep on it to tremendous risks.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/weak-link-why-saving-money-using-outdated-software-puts-data-risk/) [21 January 2019 — 4 min read Acronis Blog ![Image 4: Do you know how the new data protection law impacts your company?](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/30ed349a67c19cf8c26685d868f90f47.png) Cyber Insurance, Cyber Warfare, and Modern IT Needs You purchased cyber insurance to protect your business, just like you bought health insurance to protect yourself and your family.
