Security News > 2024 > July > Review: Action1 – Simple and powerful patch management

Although endpoint anti-malware and other security controls are now standard at the operating system level, keeping all endpoint software up-to-date and secure remains an open issue for many organizations.

Having worked with many enterprise security software, I noticed that established market players tend to accumulate substantial technical debt, which translates into bloated endpoints that spawn several processes and services bolted together as new functionalities get added, ultimately noticeably hitting endpoint performance and hampering employee productivity.

The endpoint is manageable and reports to the management console: this is a cloud-native SaaS platform designed for scalability, and opening an account is just as quick as installing the endpoint.

Automation can refer to patch or application deployment, software uninstallation, or running scripts designed to perform specific actions on endpoints: for example, remotely disabling USB, turning on or off the Windows Firewall, creating restore points, and so on.

You can programmatically create endpoint groups or automations, read endpoint information and reports, automatically export them to a business analytics solution or Excel, etc.

Action1 is a very simple but powerful proposition to operationalize patch and vulnerability management across your endpoint estate.
