Hopsice UK Tech Talk: Strengthening your first line of defence with security awareness training

Microsoft has confirmed that support for Windows 10 will officially end on 14 October 2025. To ease the transition, they’ve introduced an Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, available to all organisations for a fee, but offered free for one year to charities and education providers. 

Trident offers a zero-cost, zero commitment review that assesses an organisation’s IT, focusing on the use of Microsoft 365.

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue. It is a business-critical priority. For C-suite/board members/senior leadership teams, the key question is not if a cyber threat will happen, but how well your organisation is prepared to handle it. 

Cyber threats don’t wait, and neither should your defences. By taking five focused actions, you can immediately reduce your exposure, strengthen your resilience, and build confidence in your organisation’s ability to respond. And with Trident as your partner, you gain access to expert support, proven tools, and ongoing guidance, so your internal team can stay focused while we help you stay secure. And here’s where to start.

Microsoft Windows 10 will reach the end of support on 14 October 2025, to focus on transitioning to its modern, security-enhanced platform – Windows 11.  

After this date, devices running Windows 10 will no longer receive security updates or technical support. This change presents a valuable opportunity for organisations to plan ahead and ensure their IT environment remains secure, efficient, and aligned with future needs.
