Simply secure
Kubernetes

Minimal by design, secure by default.

Security is built into Talos Linux and Omni, not bolted on. We replace SSH, the shell, and thousands of unnecessary binaries with secure defaults and declarative management, so you get security without surprises, from bare metal to cloud to edge.

Get Kubernetes with the most secure foundation

Smallest footprint
Smallest attack surface
Highest security
Fewest CVEs

Protect your workloads at the architecture level

Talos Linux is your immutable OS for Kubernetes with fewer than 50 binaries and 0 critical CVEs. Omni is the dedicated API-driven orchestrator. Together, they enable simple, predictable infrastructure unlike any general Linux distro. No layers of automation, tooling, and duct tape.

Certified security,
built into your infrastructure

Our certifiably secure operations make it easier to meet requirements, satisfy auditors, and stay secure.

SOC 2 Type II
certification

Our processes and controls meet the standards defined by the AICPA. That means faster procurement, smoother onboarding, and easier compliance reviews for your team.

FIPS 140-3
compliant OS

Talos Linux delivers a FIPS-validated build, meeting US government cryptography standards (NIST). Whether you operate in federal, defense, or highly regulated industries, you get a secure, compliant foundation for Kubernetes.

SBOM
support

Talos Linux generates and ships a full Software Bill of Materials for every release. You gain visibility into dependencies, simplify vulnerability management, and provide auditors with the transparency they expect

Features that keep you secure, not busy

Talos Linux and Omni give you the features you need for Kubernetes security.

Kernel hardening
with KSPP defaults
Removes unnecessary configurations and applies security best practices. No additional kernel hardening required to align with KSPP standards.
Kernel module
signing
We’re the only Linux distro that requires kernel module signing by default. Only trusted, signed modules can run. Stops unverified code before it becomes a risk.
Trusted
Boot
Signed, read-only images and verified Unified Kernel Images (UKI) ensure predictable, tamper-resistant state with a built-in chain of trust.
OIDC and
SAML authentication
Support for OIDC and SAML gives your team secure, standards-based authentication, so you can get centralized authentication for Kubernetes and Talos Linux.
Audit
logging
Every action inside Omni SaaS is tracked, improving visibility for compliance and accountability.
Encrypted connectivity with WireGuard
All Omni communication is tunneled through WireGuard with default secure firewalls, protecting cluster traffic end-to-end.
Default Kubernetes 
Pod Security 
Admission (PSA)
Unlike most distros that use the “privileged” policy, Baseline policies are enforced by default, blocking insecure workloads and protecting your hosts.

Here’s when to make the move

We help teams that need strong, predictable security foundations. If your environment feels fragile or hard to trust, Omni and Talos Linux provide security you can rely on.

Does your security posture leave you uncertain?

Reactive
You patch only when you must and hope drift doesn’t cause any issues.

Strained

Upgrades get delayed, audits take months, and consistency slips.

Confident
You patch quickly, environments stay aligned, and audits are easy.

Are you experiencing common challenges of fragile environments?

If these challenges resonate, it’s time to take a new approach. Omni and Talos Linux provide the security, consistency, and control your teams need, wherever you run.

Config drift leaves you exposed.

Deployments that don’t match your expectations increase risk. We help you restore predictability.

Patching and upgrades feel dangerous.

Delays add vulnerabilities. We give you safer, automated ways to stay current.

Your OS footprint 
is bloated.

Compliance and audits shouldn’t feel like battles. We streamline and harden your environment.

Kubernetes everywhere 
is hard.

Different environments create gaps in consistency and security. We unify your control across clouds and data centers
