TuxCare Enables Compliant AlmaLinux OS Deployment

TuxCare furnishes the highly-anticipated governance and interoperability assurances now available for government and enterprise deployments

PALO ALTO, Calif. – February 4, 2025 – TuxCare, a global innovator in cybersecurity, today announced it completed a Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) for AlmaLinux OS 9. The STIG ushers in new opportunities for AlmaLinux to greatly expand its presence throughout the government and other enterprise deployments that demand the most powerful safeguards and assurances.

“TuxCare is pleased to play a notable role in AlmaLinux’s growth through developments such as the completion of a DISA STIG and a fast-growing number of team members devoted to FIPS for AlmaLinux and other compliance necessities,” said Michael Canavan, Chief Revenue Officer at TuxCare. “We’re pleased to harness our security expertise for the fast-growing AlmaLinux community that is further bolstered by these compliance milestones. Many penetration testing companies and cloud providers that already support the AlmaLinux community will no doubt welcome this DISA STIG and FIPS 140-3 compliance combination that we previously began offering.”

With these certifications, TuxCare arms organizations who use AlmaLinux with the highest level of security and compliance for enterprise deployments that also demand top-notch support and proven interoperability. The DISA STIG helps position AlmaLinux as a go-to option for the Fortune 2000.
