Action1, a leading provider of autonomous endpoint management (AEM) solutions, has announced significant updates that enhance Microsoft Intune’s capabilities in patching and vulnerability management. These new integrations aim to fill critical security gaps by providing extensive third-party application patching, along with real-time visibility and risk-based vulnerability prioritization across various operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
The partnership between Action1 and Intune aims to bolster endpoint security by simplifying the management of all applications within organizations, making it easier to ensure compliance and security without needing extra tools. Notably, Action1 now supports a comprehensive patching solution that automates the updating process for hundreds of third-party applications.
Key improvements include:
-
Expanded Third-Party Patching: Action1’s automated patching system directly integrates with Intune, addressing applications that Intune does not cover and significantly reducing potential security risks through peer-to-peer distribution.
-
Real-Time Visibility: Breaking away from delayed patching routines, Action1 offers dashboards that provide immediate insight into patch compliance, helping IT teams keep track of which systems are up to date.
-
Vulnerability Prioritization: The service generates actionable insights, allowing organizations to remediate the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk more efficiently.
-
Unification of Endpoint Coverage: Action1 synchronizes patching and vulnerability management across Windows 11, Windows Server, macOS, and Linux. This unifying approach is designed to extend Intune’s features to all vital systems under a single management strategy.
The partnership aims to support IT teams in effectively utilizing their Microsoft investments while closing critical security gaps faced by organizations using Intune. Action1 will demonstrate these new capabilities at the upcoming Microsoft Ignite 2025 event in San Francisco.
By addressing these considerations, Action1 ensures that its solutions not only enhance Intune but also aid in developing a comprehensive endpoint security strategy ideal for modern businesses.
