Traditional HPC wasn’t built for AI speed. Teams are asked to deliver fast, but manual ops, split training/inference, and hybrid sprawl slow everything down. Fuzzball removes the overhead, one platform, automated coordination, sovereign on your infrastructure. Watch the convo: https://bit.ly/3O7ZQIB

Your patch cycle is 30–60 days. Kernel exploits are weaponized in under 15. That gap is where Linux systems get compromised.

Learn why patching alone can’t defend against kernel exploits or zero days and how runtime, kernel-level protection closes the window: https://bit.ly/49Pwh7f

Attackers don’t wait for patch cycles. Your operating system shouldn’t either.

On February 12 at 11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET, join us to see how Rocky Linux from CIQ - Hardened turns the OS into an active defense layer, not a passive risk surface.

Most Linux security stacks are built to react, not to protect the gap between vulnerability disclosure and patch deployment. Learn why modern infrastructure needs both reactive controls and proactive kernel-level defense and how runtime protection closes the exposure window: https://bit.ly/4a8eFDx

Today we announced expanded availability of Rocky Linux by CIQ - Hardened: https://bit.ly/4qGUTVM

Instead of waiting for CVEs and patches, RLC-H detects and disrupts kernel exploits at runtime, protecting enterprise infrastructure during the critical window before vulnerabilities are discovered.
