New Linux Tool for Security Issues
Seal Security is launching a new solution to automate fixing Linux vulnerabilities.
Seal Security, a web-based security platform that provides advanced threat protection and incident response capabilities for individuals, businesses, and organizations, is set to launch Seal OS.
According to the Seal OS website, this new Linux tool will vulnerability-proof your Linux operating systems, so you can deploy pristine, secure Linux images. Seal OS works like this:
- Discovers vulnerabilities
- Applies security patches
- Deploys a new image
With Seal OS, you'll be able to automate vulnerability remediation for your existing Linux deployments, while maintaining code security, compliance, and application stability. You'll be able to secure your Linux systems, installed packages, and legacy and third-party apps, while staying compliant and within your service-level agreement (SLA) and more. Seal OS can help your systems stay compliant with FedRAMP, PCI DSS 4.0, NYDFS 500, and others.
At the moment, Seal OS will support Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS Stream, Oracle Linux, Docker, Git, GitLab, RHEL, Alpine Linux, and Rocky Linux.
On the Seal OS announcement page, there's no indication if Seal OS is an actual Linux distribution or a back-end service that can be used to automate the fixing of security vulnerabilities on Linux operating systems discovered on your network.
Currently, there is no alpha or beta to test, nor is there any indication as to when the product will be released. You can, however, sign up for a mailing list on the Seal OS page.
