Case Study: Kiteworks achieves FedRAMP compliance and rapid CentOS vulnerability remediation with Seal Security

Kiteworks' Strategic Response to CentOS End-of-Life with Seal Security

Kiteworks, a California-based technology company specializing in secure content communications, faced a critical challenge when the CentOS operating system reached its end-of-life, leaving its systems vulnerable and threatening its essential FedRAMP compliance. The company partnered with Seal Security to address dozens of critical vulnerabilities without having to undertake a risky and time-consuming migration to a new Linux distribution.

Seal Security integrated its automated patching solution directly into Kiteworks' software build process. This provided centralized governance and enabled the swift remediation of all CentOS-related vulnerabilities. As a result, Kiteworks immediately passed critical vulnerability scans, maintained compliance, and preserved customer trust. This success gave the company the flexibility to plan a managed migration on its own timeline without the pressure of security risks.
