I have an old Mac (pre 2015) can I update the software?

With all the security issues, how can I protect myself/my Mac? I have version 11.7 Big Sur. What can or should I do?

MAC BOOK PRO 2015 Version and Security Updates? Can I still use my MAC BOOK PRO 2015 and will it continue to receive system updates and patches for security reasons? I have seen the next version of the OS (Ventura) release and the earliest MACBOOK PRO requirements start in the year 2017 and later, my current computer is in excellent condition, and wanted to ensure that I can still operate it with confidence of security. Any thoughts?
