KernelCare Enterprise
The Only Rebootless Patching Solution for Ubuntu with 100% CVE coverage
Canonical offers rebootless patching with its Livepatch tool, but it falls short where it matters most – leaving you exposed to over 90% of known Ubuntu vulnerabilities. In fact, Canonical’s “sliding support window” also forces reboots (KernelCare doesn’t).
Automate all the latest security patches on CentOS 7 and 8 without any downtime or disruptions – freeing up time for your IT staff and shrinking your organization’s vulnerability exposure window.
