Risks of Using Unsupported Versions of SQL Server

Security

SQL Server 2008/R2 will no longer receive any security updates, potentially leaving your important databases open to vulnerabilities. That is a significant risk as today’s cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated and more frequent.

Regulatory Compliance

Compliance with various regulatory standards can also be a huge issue. Standards like HIPA, SOX, GDPR, and others require supported software to meet compliance regulations. Failure to keep your SQL Server release supported can cause your business to be out of compliance, which can result in fines and other penalties.

Microsoft Support

Microsoft’s Lifecycle Policy offers 10 years of support for the 2008 and 2008 R2 versions of SQL Server and Windows Server, which expired July 9th 2019. After Microsoft no longer services a product, it is essentially unsupported, potentially causing significant downtime for critical business functions if an unexpected failure occurs.

Aging Platform Limitations

One other consideration of using an older unsupported release of SQL Server is that using an outdated release means that you’re stuck with an older feature set that lacks all the new enhancements and productivity capabilities that are found in the newer releases.
