Transforms multi-week server setups into secure, minutes-long deployments with peace of mind
We previously used the standard, unhardened Ubuntu LTS AMIs directly from Canonical. While they are a great starting point, the reason we switched is simple: time and confidence. Our old workflow involved a multi-week security hardening process for every new project. Our DevOps and security teams would spend countless hours manually implementing CIS controls, running validation scripts, and documenting everything for our PCI audits. It was a massive operational bottleneck. We switched to this product because it turns that entire weeks-long process into a 10-minute, one-click deployment. We now get a fully hardened, audit-ready environment out of the box. This has not only accelerated our project timelines but has also given us much greater confidence in our security posture from day one.

Runs efficiently across devices and streamlines penetration testing workflows
Kali Linux could be improved by including more tools. I would personally like to see improvements in Kali Linux, particularly regarding Grub issues that sometimes occur when installing the VM. Additionally, I have experienced problems when updating Kali Linux from a higher version to a lower version, which resulted in crashes. These Grub issues should be resolved. I face significant challenges with Kali Linux regarding a major issue with the Grub loader becoming corrupted, which makes it very difficult to recover data.
