"The security industry has done a great job of providing tools that are effective at identifying adversaries once they are inside your infrastructure," said Jay Prassl, Founder and CEO, Automox.

Automox's modern cloud-native platform enables security and IT teams to automate the fundamentals of endpoint hardening, resulting in a reduction of their corporate attack surface by up to 80%. This approach not only makes corporate infrastructure more resilient to attack, but it also dramatically reduces alert fatigue common in downstream endpoint detection and response tools.

"Automox, which has proven itself as a disruptive leader in the cybersecurity industry, is addressing this issue. KDT wants to partner with companies solving the world's most complex challenges with innovative solutions, and Automox fits this criterion."

Launched in 2016, just before the NSA-derived ransomware worm WannaCry shut down computers worldwide, Automox has kept customers ahead of adversaries by hardening enterprise infrastructure 15x faster than the traditional tools deployed by most corporations.

"Automox and CrowdStrike are making it easier than ever to stop breaches with unmatched speed and velocity. Our customers will benefit greatly from this integration through the automation and hardening of their endpoint infrastructures."
