Does Windows 7 64bit meet the requirements to be considered a managed device according to Okta?

The assertion that Windows 7 64-bit does not meet the requirements to be considered a managed device according to Okta is based on the fact that this operating system version is no longer supported by Microsoft. As of January 2020, Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 7, which means it does not receive necessary security updates or patches. For a device to be classified as managed, it typically must be actively maintained and secured through updates and patches to ensure compliance with security standards and protocols established by organizations.

Managed devices are expected to be equipped with the latest security features and defenses against vulnerabilities, which is not feasible with an outdated operating system. Additionally, Okta's policies generally emphasize the use of current, highly secure, and supported operating systems to protect sensitive data and access credentials.

Taking these points into account, Windows 7 64-bit fails to meet the criteria for a managed device within the Okta ecosystem, confirming that it cannot be considered compliant in terms of security posture and management protocols.
