KEY BENEFITS of KernelCare

It comes from CloudLinux Inc., creators of the #1 Linux OS for web hosting. KernelCare improves your systems’ stability and security, bringing more customer satisfaction and lower operational cost. Trusted by over 1500 companies of all sizes, KernelCare keeps your Linux kernels up to date, automatically. Security patches are installed on running systems without rebooting. These ‘rebootless’ updates take nanoseconds. System performance is not affected.

Now you can deliver a better, more secure Linux platform.

KernelCare is for businesses that care about security

KernelCare works fast, before any vulnerabilities can be exploited

to attack your server. It was the only multi-distribution Linux live

patching service to fix Meltdown and Spectre (spectre-v1)

vulnerabilities without the need to reboot servers.

There are no service interruptions; KernelCare fixes only the

affected part of the kernel code — there is no need to reboot.

KernelCare keeps your kernel secure with automated and rebootless updates.

1Linux is stable, but as with other operating systems, security

issues are common. More than 450 Linux vulnerabilities were

found in 2017, up from over 200 a year before. Vulnerabilities

expose servers to malicious intent by threat actors on multiple

attack vectors. On open source environments, kernel

vulnerabilities become public almost immediately. They should

be fixed (or patched) before they can be exploited.

Eliminate Linux Vulnerabilities

*Details here

KernelCare patches kernels without causing downtime

or interrupting service.

Your uptime statistics are improved. Once installed,

KernelCare checks for new patches every four hours. It

downloads and applies them automatically. You don't

need to check for updates or install them yourself —

KernelCare takes care of everything. Your servers are

always running with the latest kernel security patches.

2Launched in 2014, KernelCare now runs

on over 300,000 servers.

Applications

Patch Automation for the Enterprise

KernelCare works on most mainstream distributions of Linux and

virtual environments.

If needed, complex and custom kernel patch configurations can be

maintained and applied with the KernelCare ePortal. This means you

can update development and production environments with one

patch repository. When active, there is no impact on server

performance. It is fast and simple to run.

For servers behind firewalls or with limited internet access, the

KernelCare ePortal lets you run your own patch repository server.

Patches are automatically downloaded from the central KernelCare

repository to your own local ePortal server.

Secure Servers are Compliant Servers

KernelCare ensures that your Linux servers are compliant with best-practices.

Clauses in many SLA contracts define a maximum period that servers may

remain unpatched. Exceeding this time frame can lead to violation of the

contract. Kernel updates are therefore extremely important for the security and

compliance of your Linux systems and should be done at least once a month.

All patch corrections are fully auditable, and the patches can be selectively pre-

tested and approved before distribution. If you want to roll them back, you can

do so at any time with no impact.

The KernelCare team also runs hundreds of regression tests to ensure kernel

patches are always of the highest quality.

KernelCare is the most cost-effective live kernel patching

solution on the market.

It lets you release IT resources to work on strategic

initiatives, rather than patching and maintaining servers. It

helps you avoid system downtime. It removes the need for

complex plans and schedules covering dispersed business

units. There is no longer need for routine security patch

management. As a result, you lower your operating costs.

5Lower Cost of Operation

Our support team are experts with a unique focus on client care.

Together, they have more than 450 years' worth of experience in hosting, kernel development and open-source software.

The status of your hosts and subscriptions can be checked with our self-service control panels at https://cln.cloudlinux.com. You can integrate our live patching technology into any third-party system supporting a REST API.
