Have we seen the last updates for our device?

I know we won't get any OS updates, but are we going to get any security updates?

No more security updates; at least, not on the stock OS build.
I've read that someone is providing 3rd party OS builds (similar to CM, or whatever it's called these days) along with the monthly security updates, but I haven't tried it myself.

You could probably find out over on XDA.

No more official updates, but there is an active developer community for this device at XDA. I'm running 7.1.1 with the March security update on my N7. It's great!

Perhaps the OP would find a link to that material helpful.

Can you provide a link to 7.1.1?

There are several 7.x custom ROMs available if you want to unlock, root, and flash:
