News Releases

HOUSTON, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Action1, a leading provider of real-time vulnerability discovery and automated patch management solutions, will be presenting their enhanced patch management solution at Microsoft Ignite^® 2024 in Chicago, November 19-21. As a strategic enhancement to Microsoft Intune^®, Action1 complements Microsoft's device management software with advanced cloud-native patching and vulnerability management, designed to scale effortlessly and ensure endpoint security in real-time.

Action1 seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Intune, elevating Intune's device management capabilities with its Autonomous Endpoint Management solution. This advanced approach includes real-time patching and vulnerability assessments for operating systems and third-party applications, along with features like offline device patching and peer-to-peer (P2P) distribution. These capabilities provide an additional layer of compliance and protection tailored for hybrid work environments. With a setup time of under five minutes, Action1 empowers companies to rapidly secure their endpoints, manage them autonomously, and stay ahead of emerging threats.

"Action1's cloud-native patching solution is engineered to complement Microsoft Intune, delivering an optimized, scalable solution for organizations committed to securing their endpoints," said Mike Walters, President and Co-founder of Action1. "With our ability to enhance Intune's core device management capabilities, Action1 is redefining the endpoint management experience, providing seamless integration and additional security layers."

Key Features of Action1 at Microsoft Ignite 2024

• Third-Party Application Patching
  Intune's native support for third-party software patching is minimal, often requiring additional workarounds. Action1, purpose-built for patch management, delivers automated third-party patching across a wide range of applications. This ensures that non-Microsoft software vulnerabilities are promptly addressed without extra steps or integrations.

• Real-Time Vulnerability Assessment
  Unlike Intune's scheduled compliance scans, Action1 provides continuous, real-time visibility into endpoint vulnerabilities. This proactive monitoring helps organizations identify and mitigate risks faster, reducing the time between detection and remediation.

• Automated Remediation
  Action1 streamlines patching with detailed, policy-driven automation for OS and third-party software, significantly reducing manual workloads and ensuring consistent compliance across endpoints.

• Peer-to-Peer Patch Distribution
  While Intune's Delivery Optimization is effective for Microsoft updates, it has limitations for third-party applications. Action1's peer-to-peer patch distribution supports non-Microsoft updates, optimizing bandwidth usage and enabling efficient patch deployment in distributed or bandwidth-constrained environments.

• First 100 Endpoints Free Forever
  To help organizations experience Action1's benefits firsthand, a lifetime license for the first 100 endpoints is available at no cost, allowing enterprises to indefinitely trial the solution before full-scale implementation.

• Compliance and Security Certifications
  Action1's dedication to compliance is reflected in its certifications, including SOC 2 and ISO 27001—the first in patch management to achieve both standards. Additionally, Action1's support of HIPAA, PCI DSS, CIS CSC, ACSC, and GLBA/FFIEC enables organizations to meet diverse regulatory requirements and strengthen endpoint security.

• Global Reach and Reliability
  Action1's strategically located data centers worldwide ensure fast patch deployment, supporting enterprises in scaling patch management with confidence, backed by robust and globally compliant infrastructure.
