TuxCare Live Patching for
Network Security

TuxCare’s live patching solutions automatically apply the latest vulnerability patches without requiring system reboots or service restarts, while seamlessly integrating into various IT operations workflows – including software-defined networking (SDN) stack components and supporting services platforms.

Security Updates and Patching with SDN

As more organizations continue deploying SDN across on-premise and private cloud networks, the ability to patch many architecture components with the latest vulnerability patches is critical to delivering high availability and resilience.

Organizations need to keep their SDN platforms secure at all times. As companies extend their networks and applications across a multi-cloud architecture, the need for live patching automation without rebooting is essential.

TuxCare provides critical live patching to hosts and VMs within the SDN stack, enabling teams to apply patches live in memory during production operations. This way, organizations don’t need to wait until their next maintenance window to deploy patches, which would put them in a position where they’re vulnerable and non-compliant.

Extended Lifecycle Support

Many financial services applications run on PHP and Python code, and many organizations run on outdated versions of these Linux systems that no longer receive vendor-provided support. The ability to offer extended support during end-of-life (EOL) is critical, as many systems have new releases that financial services companies aren’t yet equipped to adopt.

With TuxCare Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS), financial services providers and fintech companies running on an unsupported Linux distribution can protect their servers and stay compliant while buying themselves the time they need to migrate to a vendor-supported operating system.
