What is Automox?

The cloud-native IT operations platform for contemporary businesses is known as Automox. Keeping every endpoint automatically set up globally, patched, and secured makes it simple. With Automox, IT administrators can quickly resolve important vulnerabilities, reduce cost and complexity, and reclaim hours from their day by implementing this solution.

Why Are Businesses Choosing Automox?

Simplified Patch Management

Automated patch management is a win-win solution for both IT departments and their executive teams. Automating patch management lets businesses keep up with new patches as they are released and minimizes the risk of missing critical updates or software vulnerabilities.

  • Improved Endpoint Security
    Endpoints are often overlooked in a holistic cybersecurity strategy, with attacks focused on networks and user devices. To combat this problem, Automox’s cloud-native automated patch management solution uses advanced algorithms to analyze endpoint devices for vulnerabilities. It also has a built-in reporting feature that allows you to easily visualize the health of your network from a single dashboard. This visibility allows you to quickly identify any potential issues before they become a bigger problem and help you prioritize your efforts when it comes time to patch or update clients and servers.
  • Increased IT Team Effectiveness
    Automation is the key to reducing stressful manual patching. The benefits of automation can be seen in both cost savings and process improvements. The cost savings are two-fold: Automation reduces the amount of time spent on patching activities, which frees up IT teams to focus their attention on higher priority tasks. Automation also reduces the amount of manual work done by IT staff, allowing them to spend more time on strategic projects.
  • Enables Cybersecurity Automation
    Automation is a key factor in the modern cyber security defense plan. It has become increasingly important to ensure that your company’s security posture is not only operational but also automated. There are many benefits to cybersecurity automation.
    • Simplifies management and scalability of your security posture
    • Reduces the time required to identify, investigate, and fix vulnerabilities
    • Allows you to monitor network activity efficiently and effectively
  • Accurate Compliance Reporting
    Compliance with regulations around data protection is becoming increasingly important for organizations, especially those in the financial sector. Companies like Automox can help businesses adhere to all aspects of compliance regulations by automating their patch management process. By using Automox, companies will no longer need to rely on manual inspections to ensure compliance and be able to build accurate compliance reports.

 

Cross-Platform Coverage

IT Operations (IT Ops) teams are increasingly challenged to manage security and compliance across an ever-expanding array of devices and operating systems (OS). Automox is a comprehensive toolkit for IT Ops teams. It’s built to automate the tedious work of patching, configuring, tracking inventory, and reporting the vulnerability status of all your corporate devices – Windows, Mac, or Linux – regardless of the device’s location or domain. The reports are all shared on a single console. Automox also enables businesses to streamline workflows across Windows, Linux, and MacOS by reducing tool fatigue and fragmentation from years of outdated and OS-specific products. For example, businesses can use Automox to automate redundant actions or combine complex manual tasks into one streamlined workflow across multiple platforms.

Cloud-Native Control

When it comes to managing your endpoint devices, businesses can get trapped spending too much time on patch management. With Automox, IT teams can deliver peace of mind and simplicity of zero-maintenance management without sacrificing the strategic value needed to protect the organization.

Automox is a single-agent solution that uses very few system resources and can work across thousands of devices. While on-premises solutions often require hardware at each location with constant versioning and maintenance, Automox enables the simple separation and management across environments with multi-tenancy capabilities within a single platform.

Conclusion

Automox solves the pain points associated with managing multiple operating systems, and it does so through an innovative approach. Never have both patching and security configuration been addressed in one interface, but Automox does just that. Additionally, it is cloud-native, allowing you to both manage your systems from one console, and manage your devices no matter where they are in the world.
