How well do your Linux security practices stack up in today's challenging operating environment? Are you following the correct processes to keep systems up-to-date and protected against the latest threats? Now you can find out thanks to research independently conducted by the Ponemon Institute.

The research sponsored by TuxCare sought to understand better how organizations are currently managing the security and stability of their Linux-based systems.

TuxCare previously sponsored the Ponemon Institute to research how organizations managed their Linux-based systems' security and stability.

The research found that despite this investment, respondents were not completely confident in their ability to quickly find and patch all the critical vulnerabilities in their systems to reduce security risks to an acceptable level.

Even more remarkable were the findings that about a third of organizations are not aware of their responsibility for the security of cloud-hosted systems, assuming the hosting company managed it.

Many cloud-hosted systems with no active security management rely on default security controls and luck to avoid an attack.
