TuxCare Live Patching for Financial Services

To provide continuous service to their customers and minimize risk, it’s critical that financial services companies are able to deploy the latest vulnerability patches without undergoing a full system reboot – particularly in an industry that handles massive volumes of sensitive consumer data.

Risk & Compliance in
Financial Services

The financial sector is one of the most highly regulated industries, as it is constantly targeted by cyberattacks and frequently impacted by sensitive data breaches.
Financial services and fintech companies must comply with a number of data privacy and financial reporting laws that are designed to prevent these types of incidents. PCI, CCPA, SOX, GLBA, and GDPR compliance all include data security requirements, with many specifically calling for security vulnerability patching to keep customer data protected.

Patching Vulnerabilities with
Zero Downtime

Patching critical Linux vulnerabilities across the cloud, on-premises data centers, and third-party hosted applications is essential for financial services companies’ compliance mandates, which require all production systems exposed to consumer data to be secure.

TuxCare live patching enables these companies to automatically deploy the latest vulnerability patches without requiring a system reboot – avoiding any downtime and ensuring continuous service to banking and fintech customers.

TuxCare is the only provider that offers live patching on all critical components of Linux, for virtually all vulnerabilities, across all popular distributions. With TuxCare, financial services and fintech organizations can keep their enterprise Linux systems safe and compliant while ensuring constant uptime.

Support for Outdated
Operating Systems

Many financial services applications run on PHP and Python code, and many organizations run on outdated versions of these Linux systems that no longer receive vendor-provided support.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.
