About Firejail
Firejail is a SUID program that reduces the risk of security breaches by restricting the running environment of untrusted applications using Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf. It allows a process and all its descendants to have their own private view of the globally shared kernel resources, such as the network stack, process table, mount table. Written in C with virtually no dependencies, the software runs on any Linux computer with a 3.x kernel version or newer. The sandbox is lightweight, the overhead is low. There are no complicated configuration files to edit, no socket connections open, no daemons running in the background. All security features are implemented directly in Linux kernel and available on any Linux computer.

KernelCare Enterprise
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.

KVM
KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc. KVM is open source software. The kernel component of KVM is included in mainline Linux, as of 2.6.20. The userspace component of KVM is included in mainline QEMU, as of 1.3.
