Live Patching for Linux Servers and Devices - Kernel Updates without Reboot

Keep Linux kernels live-patched and running without rebooting

KernelCare, the world’s finest defender of Linux kernels, puts an end to rebooting servers. When you don’t have to reboot, you aren’t hampered by the patch delays created by reboot cycles. KernelCare eliminates the need for staying up at night to deliver patch updates or coordinating downtime with your business units and various IT departments and locations.

We ensure that every single security patch is applied the right way, keeping you secure and compliant.

Live-Patching Keeps You Secure and Compliant

Kernel updates are extremely important for the security and compliance of your Linux systems including CentOS, Amazon Linux, RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian, and others. Vulnerabilities can expose servers to malicious intent. However, rebooting servers to apply kernel updates can be frustrating for your IT department.

Staying up at night to deliver patch updates, worrying about the servers not booting up, coordinating maintenance windows with business units often delay Linux kernel security patching, leaving your infrastructure vulnerable and non-compliant.

“We have been using KernelCare at our EC2 instances and webhosting servers for a long time. We do not run EC2 instances without KernelCare because we think that this is fundamental to bring security and reliability to our company and customers.”
Justin Jett
Director of Audit and Compliance, Plixer
“KernelCare provides services that make server management easy, particularly with regard to security. Not needing to restart a server to get the latest kernel security updates is essential for business-critical applications that can’t be taken down for patches. Additionally, their solutions allow some legacy applications to remain secure when alternative options are not available on the market or would be cost-prohibitive to implement.”
Robert Ottenhoff
Chief Operations Officer, Ottenhoff Consulting, LLC
“KernelCare is easy to install and manage. It just works.”
Philip Rawlinson
Technical Director, Netweaver
KernelCare keeps a vital part of our services updated without having downtime from reboots – with all the recent Intel exploits this has been even more valuable than ever. KernelCare also adds additional security to the Kernel making it seem even better value for money. I use it across all our server fleet and would recommend it to all Linux administrators.
