Long Term Support (LTS) services
Witekio engineers are equipped to help your team maintain the integrity and security of your products over their entire lifespans. We have the skills and have developed tools to assist with migrating to newer long term support (LTS) releases, for implementing security updates and for backporting patches to legacy software, extending support for years.
How we can give you peace of mind
Supporting legacy app & infrastructure
In scenarios where upgrading is not feasible due to re-issues with a newer OS, tool chain or other software package, we support your certification team to prolong the lifespan of your product.
Upgrading LTS version on your schedule
We understand that current LTS releases for system upgrades don’t always align with your organizational timeline. Witekio provides the flexibility to delay LTS version upgrades until your ecosystem is ready.
Long term maintenance
Our engineers can provide active support to maintain the robustness of your system. This includes ongoing assistance with CVE monitoring, security updates, fixes and patch, and system maintenance for critical components of your product.

Our approach to maintain robust and secure systems
During development
- Select software and tools you can maintain, no matter what
- Perform threat modelling and security risk analysis. Identify risks, context, and mitigations, and implement those mechanisms and mitigations
- Create a lean OS image, with only the software you require
- Build test automation for integration, system, and functional tests
Every 1-3 months
- Monitor vulnerabilities using automation and a CVE scanner
- Review, and patch vulnerabilities
- Test and validate, leveraging automated tests, and deploy
Every 2-4 years
- Plan a major release by upgrading to latest available Long-Term Support version of your OS to continue receiving security patches
- Test and validate, leveraging automated tests, and deploy
Latest LTS release, LTS version, security updates: what long term support means
Long-Term Support (LTS) releases typically pertain to an application or operating system that receives extended security updates, maintenance, and occasionally, feature updates. These new releases are known for their stability, undergoing extensive testing and incorporating years of improvements.
While the latest LTS versions don’t usually introduce new features unless accompanied by a newer LTS release, they do provide critical bug fixes and security patches. For production-ready environments, businesses, and enterprises, long term support releases (or LTS releases) offer prolonged software support with minimal risk of disruptive changes during supported updates.

The benefits of LTS releases
Stability and risk reduction
LTS versions prioritize security and bug fixes over new features, ensuring a more stable environment. This minimizes the risk of introducing new bugs or regressions that could disrupt operations.
Extended maintenance period
LTS releases provide extended maintenance periods during which critical updates are delivered without major changes. This ensures that your software remains secure and reliable over a longer time frame.
Compatibility
LTS versions maintain compatibility by avoiding frequent major updates that could interfere with existing embedded systems, making them ideal for production environments where uptime is essential.
