Network devices and other ICT equipment that are no longer supported by vendors are replaced.

While existing recommendations covered the replacement of unsupported applications and operating systems, they did not cover the replacement of unsupported network devices and other ICT equipment. This is important as an organisation should ensure that network devices and other ICT equipment remain supported by vendors and do not become a weak point on networks. At a minimum, if unsupported network devices and other ICT equipment are used on networks, they should be recognised and risk-managed as appropriate.
