This means if a security vulnerability is discovered, Microsoft&nbsp;<strong>WILL NOT<\/strong>&nbsp;release a patch to fix it.  Continuing to use systems that are no longer supported with security patches will put your organization at risk for data breaches. More importantly it violates HIPAA compliance requirements to protect devices against malicious software &#8211; opening your practice up to potential major fines.  HIPAA Security Rule 45 C.F.R. 164.308 (a)(5)(ii) states that organizations must implement procedures for detecting, guarding against, and reporting malicious software. If you are using software that Microsoft no longer supports, you will not meet the requirements for HIPAA compliance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Is your system at risk?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using&nbsp;<strong>Lytec 2014 or older<\/strong>&nbsp;your system is at risk and needs to be upgraded&nbsp;<em>immediately<\/em>.
