    Hardened kernel configuration optimized for virtual machines. - https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Hardened-kernel

  • Those two don't protect the kernel itself from "misuse". To do that, there are ways like kernel hardening 3, using hardened kernel 4 5.

  • linux-hardened

    Minimal supplement to upstream Kernel Self Protection Project changes. Features already provided by SELinux + Yama and archs other than multiarch arm64 / x86_64 aren't in scope. Only tags have stable history. Shared IRC channel with KSPP: irc.libera.chat #linux-hardening

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    Linux Kernel Runtime Guard

  • I'm not an expert, but I can think of two things related to the integrity of Linux kernel. Linux has the ability to mark itself tainted 1 if you, as example, load proprietary drivers. On the other hand, there's Linux Kernel Runtime Guard (LKRG) 2 that performs integrity check on Linux kernel and detects exploits.
