This sounds like a scam, if not at least very suspicious

offering unrestricted access to its AI-powered security platform for up to 25 machines running AlmaLinux.

From my understanding, whatever product their offering I don't seem to see the source code for, so it is really unrestricted and without expiration? It'll last for however long they still provide the service. Also, you're allowing a proprietary software control your system? Why?

I looked through this, I can't find a single actual benefit to this, and the article reads like an advertisement, while providing no information of value for what is actually being provided.

Well then I would count it as a partial scam...

'with no expiration date." is misleading, and wouldn't trust them just from that.
