Why Live Patch with KernelCare Enterprise?
Patching that Helps You Always Stay Compliant
By deploying patches as soon as they’re available, you can more easily satisfy a number of compliance requirements related to vulnerability management, including CIS Controls, NIST CSF, PCI DSS, and ISO27001.
One Solution for Your Whole Linux Ecosystem
KernelCare is the only solution on the market that can live patch all popular Linux distributions, helping organizations enjoy the benefits of live patching while avoiding having to pay for costly vendor-specific live patching solutions or support packages.
Outlast Your OS Vendor's Live Patching Limits
KernelCare allows customers to maintain live patching of their existing kernels for as long as they need, ensuring continuity of live patching beyond the 3-6 months typically offered by OS vendors’ proprietary solutions and eliminating the need to align maintenance windows with vendors’ release schedules.
Customize Patch Rollouts in Line with Your Policies
KernelCare gives system administrators a single transparent interface to manage automated patching – including easy integration with your existing IT automation tools for a seamless management experience.
Extend KernelCare Across Your Enterprise
With the LibCare add-on, your team can keep critical shared system libraries, like OpenSSL and glibc, updated with the latest vulnerability patches.
With KernelCare IoT, you can now live patch ARM64-based connected devices in IoT environments without needing to reboot them.
TuxCare’s QEMUCare enables automated, rebootless patching for QEMU/KVM, the hypervisor supporting OpenStack, ProxMox, or OpenNebula.
