About
Gardience is a Windows and Linux fleet management platform built on Salt, available as self-managed software or a vendor-hosted service. It provides patching, CVE exposure checks, configuration and drift controls, and STIG- and CIS-aligned security baselines with exportable audit evidence. IT teams can inventory servers, schedule and approve changes, and review tamper-evident activity records. Ansible playbooks run through Gardience, while a Terraform provider can enroll new machines and apply configurations. A REST API and MCP server support automation and AI-agent workflows, with human approval required for changes. The product also offers CMMC Level 2 assessment workflows, including policy templates, evidence collection, and System Security Plan and POA&M support. It is designed for teams responsible for mixed Windows and Linux estates, including regulated and air-gapped environments.

About
Global organizations trust TuxCare for live patching their critical Linux hosts and OT devices across their hybrid multi-cloud environments. No reboot is required to deploy and enable the TuxCare KernelCare Enterprise solutions to live patch Linux kernels and critical system libraries, including OpenSSL and Glibc. In contrast, all hosts and devices maintain the current production level uptime while receiving all security updates.
TuxCare automates the patching process and eliminates the need to wait weeks or months for reboot cycles to apply patches. TuxCare currently protects over 1 million workloads worldwide.
Tight integrations with popular patch management and vulnerability scanners, including Qualys, Crowdstrike, and Rapid7, enable TuxCare to fit seamlessly into existing infrastructure. The TuxCare secure patch server, ePortal, allows operations in gated and air-gapped environments.
