* YOUR NAME AND STORY

* Nicolas CARPi - January 2026
Lynis is a great tool for discovering security hardening opportunities you might not even know to look for. It works out of the box, keeps improving over time, and provides clear guidance you can act on. Highly recommended!

* David Osipov - October 2021
Lynis opened my eyes on Linux security hardening best practices. As a newbie, I learn a lot about Linux system architecture while trying to harden my system.

* Catalyst.net IT - January 2020
Lynis gave us great insight in to the security state of our systems, as well as where we can improve.

* Michael Boelen - September 2019
The development of Lynis learned me a lot about Linux and Unix security. It is
installed on all my systems to uncover unexpected configuration issues. The
valuable feedback and contributions give me the energy to continue to work on
its development, even after 12+ years!
