HeroDevs Named Inaugural Partner for Drupal 7 Extended Security Support Provider Program

[SANDY, UTAH]—HeroDevs is excited to announce its designation as the inaugural partner for the Drupal Association’s new Drupal 7 Extended Security Support Provider Program. This program aims to ensure organizations using Drupal 7 beyond the official end-of-life (EOL) date of January 5, 2025 stay secure and compliant.

As Drupal 7 EOL approaches, many organizations face challenges migrating to newer versions due to various restraints. HeroDevs aims to provide a solution to members of the Drupal community in this predicament by offering Drupal 7 Never-Ending (NES) support. This secure drop-in replacement provides ongoing security, compliance, and compatibility fixes.

Meeting the Drupal Association’s rigorous selection criteria, HeroDevs’ Drupal 7 NES is the first product approved and supported by the Drupal Association’s new program for extended long-term support. 

Joe Eames, VP of Partnership at HeroDevs, added, “We are honored to be recognized as the inaugural partner of this important program. At HeroDevs, we are creating a more sustainable, secure web and Drupal is a major part of that. We aim to help organizations maintain a secure and compliant web presence – all while giving open source creators and maintainers the freedom to innovate.” 

“HeroDevs has demonstrated strong expertise in finding and fixing security and compatibility issues for major open-source libraries like Drupal,” Tim Doyle, CEO of the Drupal Association, said. “This program underscores the Drupal Association’s dedication to providing qualified options for organizations using Drupal 7 so they can stay secure while they figure out their next steps for upgrading. ”
