How IT & SOC Teams Minimize
Vulnerability Exposure
Windows with Live Patching
The time between a CVE patch being released and that patch being applied might be when a vulnerability exploit occurs.
Chat with a TuxCare Linux security expert to find out how to shrink this window with a modernized patching approach.
Win the race against successful vulnerability exploits by adopting live patching –
an automated, non-disruptive patching technique that enables organizations to
apply CVE patches without needing to wait to coordinate and babysit a reboot.
No unnecessary delays.
No end-user disruptions.
No headaches.
