TuxCare Partners with Aikido for Post-EOL Open-Source Security

PALO ALTO, Calif. – July 15, 2025 – TuxCare, a global innovator in securing open source, today announced a partnership with Aikido Security, a leading software security platform provider for enterprises and software development companies.

Through the partnership, Aikido’s customers can now secure the end-of-life open-source code embedded in their applications with TuxCare’s Endless Lifecycle Support – precision-engineered security patches that keep legacy open-source code secure, compliant, and fully compatible for as long as needed. This eliminates the need for costly, complex, and disruptive upgrades, while ensuring endless security for Java, JavaScript, and Python packages today – with support for .NET, PHP, Ruby, and other widely used open-source packages coming soon.

Having successfully resolved more than 5,000 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in open-source software to date, TuxCare is uniquely positioned to help Aikido deliver to its customers the kind of post-EOL security most providers can’t – fast, proven and built for scale.

“We’re pleased to work with a top innovator such as Aikido to bring greater peace of mind to their fast-growing customer base,” said Michael Canavan, Chief Revenue Officer at TuxCare. “This partnership further expands TuxCare’s presence, enabling more and more developers to easily and cost-effectively ensure top-notch security and compliance for their mission-critical applications regardless of end-of-life (EOL) scenarios.”

“At Aikido, we believe developers shouldn’t have to choose between shipping fast and staying secure,” said Madeline Lawrence, CBO at Aikido, “Partnering with Tuxcare helps us deliver that promise: making security simple, even for legacy code. Our users can now stay protected without upgrading or rewriting a thing, even when dependencies go end-of-life. For large codebases, it’s more than convenience – it can amount to months of engineering time reclaimed from upgrades and reinvested into building.”
