Relying on Unsupported SharePoint Versions
Exposes You to File-Based Risks
SharePoint is central to enterprise collaboration, but once support ends, unpatched versions expose organizations to file-based attacks.
While security teams focus on networks and identities, threats hidden in documents and embedded links often go unnoticed.
Unpatched Vulnerabilities
Office 2016 and 2019 no longer receive security updates, leaving known and unknown vulnerabilities open to exploitation by malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks.
Increased Compliance Risk
While SharePoint remains in use, unsupported versions increase the likelihood of compliance issues if file-based malware leads to unauthorized access, data leakage, or integrity loss.
Compliance planning must account for file-level risk; not just platform upgrades.
Unsafe File Sharing
Legacy Office documents remain widely shared across systems, creating a high-risk attack surface for embedded malware, malicious links, and hidden threats.

Frequently Asked Questions
About SharePoint End of Support
Microsoft has announced that support for several on-premises SharePoint versions will begin ending in July 2026. Affected versions will no longer receive security updates, patches, or technical support, increasing exposure to security and compliance risks.
After support ends, SharePoint continues to operate, but no new security fixes or vulnerability patches are provided. This means known and newly discovered vulnerabilities remain unaddressed, increasing the risk of malware exploitation - especially through file uploads and shared content.
Yes. MetaDefender Cloud provides file-level protection independent of platform lifecycle status. It can scan, sanitize, and analyze files before, during, and after end of support, helping reduce malware and compliance risk throughout the transition period.
No. MetaDefender Cloud is not a replacement for upgrading SharePoint. It complements upgrade and migration plans by reducing file-based risk and maintaining security controls while organizations plan, execute, or delay platform upgrades.
MetaDefender Cloud is cloud-based and can typically be deployed quickly via APIs or integrations, allowing organizations to add file-level protection with minimal disruption to existing SharePoint workflows.
