Endless Lifecycle Support
for Apache Tomcat 8.5
Ensure your Apache Tomcat deployment stays protected
without security risks or compatibility concerns.
With Endless Lifecycle Support (ELS), you can continue using end-of-life Apache
Tomcat versions with confidence, knowing they remain secure, stable, and
seamlessly integrated with your infrastructure for as long as you need.
If your Apache Tomcat version has reached the end of support, it no longer receives critical security updates or fixes.
Running an unsupported Tomcat version leaves your applications vulnerable to exploits such as authentication bypasses, session hijacking, and web application attacks – potentially compromising sensitive data.
Tomcat upgrades aren’t just version bumps – they introduce configuration shifts,
servlet API changes, and potential incompatibilities with existing deployments.
Don’t let a forced upgrade break your setup – stay protected with ELS from TuxCare.
With Endless Lifecycle Support,
you can:
Minimize Security Risks
Preserve Compatibility
Avoid code refactoring and keep your Apache Tomcat applications running smoothly for years to come.
Ensure Compliance
Gain 14-day SLAs for security fixes and establish transparency with a detailed SBOM.
Apache Tomcat core components that we currently support:
- Coyote (HTTP connector)
- Catalina (servlet engine)
- Jasper (JSP engine)
- Cluster
Contact us if you need support for
additional components
