Nearly 40% of actively targeted vulnerabilities affect end-of-life devices, and threat actors routinely exploit decade-old flaws in aging infrastructure. The framework outlines five parallel actions for government policymakers (lifecycle registers, consequence-based standards, procurement obligations, funded transition plans, and incentive programs) and five for enterprises (asset visibility, consequence-based prioritization, formal replace-or-mitigate decisions, clear accountability, and proactive funding). The report frames legacy modernization not just as a risk mitigation exercise but as a strategic opportunity to build resilience, enable AI-assisted defense, and gain long-term national advantage. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
