Yes and no. Debian 8 Jesse is - now it was - LTS. Debian Long Term Support (LTS) is a project to extend the lifetime of all Debian stable releases to (at least) 5 years. Trouble is that this "support" expired June 30, 2020.
Very odd Linux distro for a product platform: Debian LTS is not handled by the Debian security team, but by a separate group of volunteers and companies interested in making it a success.

its not just the Operating System thats out of date! but the core components used with in the Operating System "apache2" half this stuff no normal user would know about. i wouldn't have known about the lack of updates to these core components if it wasn't for the lack of support for the readynas project in the app store or it's failing UI! I feel extremely let down, half of the cost of this device was in brand name alone... so far i've seen no repaying from the brand! no core updates... just Laziness!
you should be wanting to be better than synology and other brands... it isnt hard to make an app store that downloads ".deb files" or have a nice looking UI! I could do a better job!
