Why Check Fortinet EOL and EOSL Dates Regularly?
Tracking lifecycle milestones helps you maintain security, continuity, and predictable budgets across your Fortinet infrastructure.
Security risks & patch coverage
Unsupported devices stop receiving firmware, bug fixes, and security updates. Regularly reviewing EOL/EOSL dates helps you retire or replace high-risk hardware before it becomes a security gap.
Maintenance & replacement planning
Knowing lifecycle milestones in advance lets you schedule hardware refresh without downtime, evaluate successor models, and coordinate maintenance windows with your operations team.
Budget & upgrade strategy
Align refresh cycles with finance plans instead of reacting to sudden failures. A clear EOL/EOSL roadmap helps you spread investments over time and avoid last-minute, unplanned replacement costs.
