System Requirements

Hardware and software prerequisites for HeartSuite Core Secure compatibility.

Overview: HeartSuite Core Secure requires an x86 Linux system running a supported distribution — Debian/Ubuntu-derived, Alpine, or RPM-based (RHEL, Fedora, CentOS, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, SUSE). It ships with two HeartSuite Core Secure kernels (5.19 and 6.18) and a set of tools that enforce allowlist-based security at the kernel level.

Kernel

HeartSuite Core Secure is distributed with two HeartSuite Core Secure kernels based on mainline Linux: 5.19 and 6.18. One of these kernels must be booted for HeartSuite Core Secure to function. The Dashboard verifies kernel activation as part of Phase 1 (System Verification) and provides orientation on every boot.
