Open source security

Ubuntu Pro is more than Linux.
Security and compliance for the full stack.

Secure your open source apps. Patch the full stack, from kernel to library and applications, for CVE compliance. Governments and auditors certify Ubuntu for FedRAMP, FISMA and HITECH.


Significant enterprise savings

Sustainable open source at the lowest cost, everywhere.

Rethink what's possible with Linux and open source. Companies engage Canonical to drive down open source operating costs. Automate everything: multi-cloud operations, bare metal provisioning, edge clusters and IoT.
