About LinuxGuard
LinuxGuard is complete Linux identity security: every user, key and sudo rule on your Linux estate, mapped, managed and enforced.
Years of sudo rules, SSH keys and service accounts build paths to root that SIEM, EDR and cloud IAM never see. AI agents now find and use those paths faster than any review. LinuxGuard maps every identity on every host (people, service accounts and AI agents), scores the risk and flags every change as it happens.
Then it controls access. People sign in with their directory identity. Access is time-boxed, approved where required and closed by the server itself. sudo comes from central profiles given to directory groups. Leavers lose access on every server within minutes. AI agents get their own identity and short, approved windows, never standing access.
One lightweight agent, outbound-only connections, nothing in front of ssh. Compliance evidence for NIS2, DORA, SOC 2 and ISO 27001, exported from a live inventory. Built for Linux by IAM practitioner
