Security software like openssh should always be kept up to date to fix issues
and plug vulnerabilities which could allow yourself and your clients' systems to
be compromised. Cygwin typically only provides and allows the current and two
previous versions to be installed, in this case 8.4, 8.3, 8.2. Version 8.1 is
over a year old and should no longer be used; see:
https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html
If you are concerned about how this is managed by Cygwin, you should provide
your own Cygwin package repository mirror, where you can control which packages
and versions are provided and made available.
