Linux MDM & Endpoint Management
Unify Linux with your Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS fleets - policies, certificates, packages, updates, and compliance in one cloud console.
Codeproof Linux MDM extends Unified Endpoint Management to the workloads most platforms ignore: developer workstations, lab and CI machines, secure-by-design kiosks, edge gateways, and server-class endpoints. Manage Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS Stream, Fedora, and SUSE with the same console, policies, and reporting you use for mobile and Windows.
Supported Linux distributions
The Codeproof Linux agent supports the major distributions used in enterprise and engineering environments:
- Ubuntu (LTS releases 20.04, 22.04, 24.04 and current non-LTS)
- Debian 11 (Bullseye), 12 (Bookworm)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and 9 (server and workstation)
- CentOS Stream 8 and 9
- Fedora Workstation (current and previous releases)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) and openSUSE Leap
- Amazon Linux 2 / 2023 for cloud-hosted endpoints
- Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux as RHEL-compatible alternatives
Architectures: x86_64 and ARM64 (aarch64) for cloud, edge, and SBC workloads.
Why teams manage Linux endpoints
Developer & engineering workstations
Engineering teams running Ubuntu, Fedora, or RHEL workstations need the same policy hygiene as macOS and Windows: disk encryption, SSH hardening, software inventory, and patch management.
Lab, CI, and build machines
Apply consistent baselines to QA labs, CI runners, and build farms - without the overhead of a full configuration-management tool. Pair Codeproof policy with Ansible / Puppet where deeper config is needed.
Edge gateways & IoT controllers
Industrial gateways, smart-building controllers, and ARM-based SBCs running Linux need MDM-style policy, certificate distribution, and remote actions. Codeproof's Linux agent runs on x86_64 and ARM64 for edge deployments.
Linux desktops in regulated industries
Government, defense, education, and research teams standardized on Linux benefit from auditable compliance evidence for NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and SOC 2.
Cloud VMs & ephemeral workloads
Manage long-running Linux VMs in AWS, Azure, and GCP. Apply hardening baselines on first boot via cloud-init or your golden image, then sync with Codeproof for ongoing policy and reporting.
Zero Trust & conditional access
Tie Linux endpoint posture into your Zero Trust flow. Devices that fail baseline checks (encryption disabled, patches missing, unauthorized packages) can be quarantined from corporate apps.
Linux MDM capabilities
Policy & user management
- User and group management with sudo policy templates
- Password / passphrase policy and screen-lock idle timeout
- Disk encryption guidance (LUKS) and home-folder encryption
- SSH hardening: key-only auth, port, MaxAuthTries, banners
- Firewall (ufw / firewalld) templates with allow / deny rules
- USB / removable-storage policy with mount restrictions
Networking & certificates
- Wi-Fi profiles (NetworkManager) with WPA2 / WPA3 / Enterprise
- VPN configuration (OpenVPN, WireGuard, IPsec) with managed certs
- SCEP / PKI certificate enrollment and rotation
- Proxy and TLS-inspection certificate distribution
- DNS policy and split-horizon configuration
Apps & package updates

- Snap and Flatpak app distribution
- Update windows, version pinning, and rollback support
- Pre-approved repository allow / deny lists
- Custom .deb / .rpm push for in-house packages
- Kernel and security-patch tracking with CVE references
Inventory & compliance
- Hardware and software inventory (CPU, RAM, disk, installed packages)
- Posture checks: encryption, firewall, AV / Defender / ClamAV state
- Real-time alerts and webhooks for compliance drift
- Audit logs for administrative actions and policy changes
- Exportable compliance reports (CSV, JSON) for audits
- SIEM-friendly event feeds
Remote support & actions
- Remote lock, restart, shutdown, and selective wipe
- Run-as-root command execution with approval workflow
- Real-time process and service inventory
- Log retrieval for incident response
Automation & integration
- REST MDM API and webhooks
- SSO via SAML / OAuth - integrate with Okta, Azure AD / Entra ID, Google Workspace
- Works alongside Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Salt for deeper config management
- cloud-init / Ignition support for hands-off enrollment of cloud VMs
