We’ve got a small update to share – but it reflects something much bigger that’s been taking shape behind the scenes at TuxCare.

Starting today, our tagline has changed from “We Take Care of Linux” to a new, stronger statement of purpose:
“We Secure Open Source.”

This isn’t just a change in wording – it’s a clear signal of how far we’ve come, and where we’re headed next.

 

Why We’re Changing

 

When TuxCare first came onto the scene, we had one mission: to keep Linux servers safe and running smoothly, without disruptive downtime. KernelCare was our flagship solution – rebootless, automated patching technology that works on all popular enterprise Linux varieties and it’s still trusted by thousands of organizations today.

Over the years, we expanded our services to deliver automated patching for critical components like shared libraries and virtualized systems, and Endless Lifecycle Support that keeps end-of-life Linux distributions patched and compliant for as long as organizations need them.

But, if there’s one thing the last decade has made clear, it’s that the open-source ecosystem doesn’t stand still. 

Neither do the threats facing it – or the responsibilities of the people who rely on it.

 

Open Source Is Bigger than Linux

 

Today, open source is the foundation for more than just operating systems. Enterprises and government agencies alike rely on open-source programming languages, frameworks, runtime environments, and libraries that evolve constantly – and sometimes reach end-of-life faster than teams can coordinate a time-consuming upgrade.

That reality is why TuxCare’s mission had to evolve. Our customers needed more than just Linux patching – they needed help keeping a growing web of open-source components secure, compliant, and fully supported, no matter how old or new. They needed smarter vulnerability detection and remediation, as well as an enterprise support option that supercharged their AlmaLinux experience.

Today, TuxCare helps organizations patch, secure, and extend the life of open-source software far beyond the Linux kernel. We deliver enterprise-grade security and compliance solutions for open-source technologies like .NET, Java (OpenJDK), PHP, Python, Spring, Angular, AngularJS, and more – the critical layers that power modern apps, services, and infrastructure.

 

A Tagline that Matches Our Mission

 

Our old tagline, “We Take Care of Linux,” captured the spirit of our early days,  and it served us well. But it no longer tells the whole story. Our customers trust us to do much more than protect Linux – they trust us to help secure the entire open-source stack that keeps their business running.

With “We Secure Open Source,” we’re putting that promise front and center. It’s a commitment to help organizations tackle today’s toughest security and compliance challenges, whether they run on a server in a data center, a cloud instance on the edge, or the critical app your business depends on every day.

You’ll start seeing our new tagline across our website, in our marketing campaigns, at industry events, and in every customer conversation. But, more importantly, you’ll continue seeing us deliver on that promise with new solutions that expand what we protect – and how.

 

Thank You for Growing with Us

 

None of this would be possible without the trust and support of our customers, partners, and the vibrant open-source community we’re proud to serve. Every patch we deliver, every vulnerability we help close, and every extra year of security we make possible reflects your commitment to keeping open source strong, stable, and secure.

So, thank you for taking this journey with us, from the early days of KernelCare to today’s expanding portfolio of enterprise-ready open-source security services. Together, we’re building a safer, more resilient future for open source – and we’re just getting started.

Stay tuned. The best is yet to come.
