Media: in August, Microsoft and SAP may close access to updates for corporate clients from Russia

The Microsoft corporation and the developer of solutions for business process management of SAP in August, 2022 will close access to updates for the Russian corporate clients. This applies to new software versions, security patches, and so on.

Because of this, vulnerabilities can arise in corporate software that will jeopardize customers, including small and medium-sized businesses, as well as the public sector. After all, despite the transition to domestic software, it takes time.

As expected, these restrictions should not affect ordinary users, but they can no longer download distributions of Windows 10 and 11 without using VPN services. It is possible that Microsoft may introduce total restrictions on all users from the Russian Federation. Moreover, many are already complaining about the problem with downloading updates for the OS.

So far, Russian corporate customers have not complained about problems getting updates for Microsoft products. However, the situation may change, although the corporation has not yet officially announced the introduction of restrictions.

In addition, there may be problems with industrial software - we are talking about software for the oil industry. In particular, it is software for modeling seismic, reservoir behavior, drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
