Securing Legacy Software Applications

Outdated legacy systems lack maintenance, support for modern encryption algorithms, and compatibility with current security software. KronoCore is designed to address these issues, ensuring your legacy applications run reliably and securely. Instead of expensive and risky redesign, KronoCore extends the lifetime of useful software indefinitely.

Nested Virtualization for the KVM Backend for VirtualBox

We're excited to share a new milestone for our KVM Backend for VirtualBox: nested virtualization is now supported. This means you can run virtual machines within other VMs, opening up new possibilities for testing and development environments. With nested virtualization, you can now run even more complex configurations, including HP Sure Click, enabling heightened security within virtualized environments.
