When securing your Linux environment, you cannot miss the Linux Kernel. It forms the foundation of your Linux operating system and is the core interface between computer hardware and its processes. Linux Kernel is also loved and actively used by IT communities across the globe. Unlike the other operating systems like Windows and MAC, where updates are automatically published by their vendor, the case of Linux Kernel is different. A good Vulnerability Management Tool can prevent these attacks. The Linux IT communities actively test the Kernel for vulnerabilities and release fixes to remediate them.

Having said that, it is not handy and easy to track the information on these vulnerabilities and the fixes available for them. Although the information pass among communities, it still takes time. This time gap is enough for an attacker to invade your network and cause serious security exploits. Vulnerability Management System can prevent these attacks.
