Using end-of-life Spring Projects, like Spring Framework 5.3? Protect your applications until you’re ready to upgrade with ELS for Spring
As consumers rely on telecommunications (telco) organizations to provide them with continuous uptime, reliable service, and secure networks, telco companies can adopt live patching automation as a security approach to improve their services and minimize operational risk.
With the evolution of 4G, 5G, high speed internet, home WiFi, and LTE networks, the telco industry continues to evolve through innovation and consolidation. Most service carriers continue to acquire new products and services to bundle into the master offerings.
Dependencies on these offerings, including home internet, E911, and 5G voice/data/video, have become critical utilities – with customers across the globe relying on providers of these networks to deliver constant uptime and secure communications.
Not only is live patching without a reboot critical to maintaining the five-nines mandate, but minimizing the risk window of when vulnerabilities can be exploited enables telco companies to better protect consumers from cybersecurity incidents.Cybersecurity is one of the top business mandates for service providers. Many client-facing telco application systems would greatly benefit from live patching, including billing, customer care,
Many telco companies running legacy Linux and Python applications that have far surpassed their vendor-supported lifecycles. TuxCare’s market-leading Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) for these operating systems, as well as PHP, CentOS, and other open source projects, is critical to keeping telco networks secure for four years or more after their operating systems reach end of life (EOL).
Extending lifecycle support for telco applications no longer supported by the manufacturer is critical to the overall success of and reliability of these networks – buying them the time they need to migrate to a vendor-supported operating system.
