Systems that cannot be patched are at a higher risk of being exploited as they cannot receive updates to fix known vulnerabilities. This leaves these systems exposed to potential attacks that exploit these unpatched vulnerabilities. Keeping systems up-to-date with the latest patches is crucial in protecting against known threats. While answers involving obsolete technology or the cost of replacement might seem relevant, they do not directly address the primary security risk which is the susceptibility to exploitation.
