What is dangerous about staying on 1903?
By not upgrading, you are giving hackers a roadmap to your systems.
As companies like Microsoft release patches for vulnerabilities in current systems, they are basically announcing to hackers that these holes exist in earlier, no-longer-supported versions, and are available for exploiting. Without these patches, your firm will become exposed to nefarious actors. We’ve called attention to this issue before.
For security purposes alone, remaining on Windows 10 1903 is simply is not an option.
