Abstract
Open-source software powers the world’s most innovative enterprises, but keeping it secure, compliant, and reliable over the long haul is where complexity (and unexpected risk) quietly creeps in. This presentation offers a guided tour through the challenges organizations face when working with open-source technologies that often have short lifecycles and require regular upgrades. Think of it as a practical playbook for extending the useful life of open-source software – keeping systems secure, audits calm, and engineers focused on building what’s next, not fighting what’s old. You will learn how TuxCare solutions, from rebootless patching and end-of-life security updates to noise-free vulnerability scanning and enterprise support for community operating systems, help enterprises run open-source software with confidence – even when the calendar, the threat landscape, or upstream support say otherwise.
