How KernelCare Works in 60 seconds
The core of Linux is open source, so every kernel vulnerability is public.
Patching the kernel is easy. Just stop everything … and reboot.
But in larger organizations, you are waiting for the next reboot cycle, which could be months away
No one likes downtime but unpatched servers are vulnerable.
Why choose between stability and security? With KernelCare, you don’t have to – you get both.
KernelCare fixes Linux kernels without stopping the system or anything running on it.
Here’s how it works:
When a kernel vulnerability goes public the KernelCare team writes patches for all the major distros and put them on a patch server.
An agent program on your Linux server downloads the patch and hands control to a kernel patching module.
It’s part of the kernel, so it can freeze the CPU, install the patch, and restart frozen processes. It happens in nanoseconds, the system won’t notice – and neither will users.
KernelCare installs in less time than it takes to explain it.
It keeps your Linux servers safe and keeps them running. Try it for free at KernelCare.com/free-trial
