Chromecast End-of-Life Announcement Highlights Urgent<br />

Need <strong>for</strong> Patch Management Re<strong>for</strong>m Among Hybrid<br />

Workers<br />

By Joao Correia, Technical Evangelist <strong>for</strong> Tuxcare<br />

In April this year, Google announced the discontinuation of support <strong>for</strong> its original Chromecast device.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first-generation Chromecast had been a highly successful hardware venture <strong>for</strong> Google, with an<br />

impressively long lifespan in the consumer market boasting sales surpassing 10 million units in 2014<br />

alone. While newer generations of Chromecast will remain functional <strong>for</strong> users, Google's decision<br />

effectively put an end to technical support, updates, and security patches <strong>for</strong> the initial devices.<br />

This move by Google presents potential challenges to security teams around the globe, as a significant<br />

number of companies continue to embrace their hybrid or fully remote operating status brought on by the<br />

pandemic. According to a recent study conducted by the Pew Research Center in early <strong>2023</strong>,<br />

approximately 22 million individuals are presently engaged in full-time remote work, and thus it’s fair to<br />

assume a considerable portion of them may still be using Chromecast devices within their home<br />

networks.<br />
