Action1, The World's Easiest-To-Use Patching Solution, Now Available For Macos, With The First 100 Endpoints Free Forever

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) MacOS support empowers unified cross-platform patch management, eliminating the need to use multiple patching solutions in mixed enterprise IT environments.

HOUSTON, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Action1, a provider of an integrated real-time vulnerability discovery and automated
patch management solution , today announced its latest product release. As part of its platform enhancements, Action1 has introduced a new agent for macOS , enabling organizations with diverse IT environments to ensure unified, cross-platform patching automation and integrated software vulnerability management.

Action1 empowers unified cross-platform patch management with its newly introduced macOS support.

As the world's #1 easiest-to-use patch management solution, according to G2, Action1 is committed to transforming and simplifying the patching routine for organizations of all sizes. Now becoming cross-platform, Action1 is revolutionizing macOS patching while consolidating multiple patch management approaches for different platforms.

The newly incorporated macOS support, including the latest macOS Sequoia, helps IT teams streamline vulnerability discovery, prioritization, and remediation for both operating systems and applications across the entire IT fleet. In addition, it offers extended endpoint management capabilities such as software deployment, scripting, and IT asset inventory for macOS devices. Action1 is available at no cost
for the first 100 endpoints, without any functional limits for both macOS and Windows - and never expires.

According to the Action1 Software Vulnerability Ratings Report 2024 , macOS experienced a 30% increase in exploited vulnerabilities in 2023, making it increasingly exposed to attacks targeting known vulnerabilities.

"With the growing complexity of IT ecosystems, it is a challenge for IT teams to unify vulnerability discovery and patching across all systems. Almost every Action1 customer has a mix of Windows and Mac endpoints. The new macOS support will help our customers protect all endpoints and eliminate security gaps that could expose them to cyber threats targeting vulnerabilities," said Mike Walters, President and Co-founder of Action1.

"Most anticipated release of 2024. Beats Google's Pixel, Gemini releases, iPhone 16 and all that Apple Intelligence jazz for me," said an Action1 customer on Reddit .

In addition, Action1's latest release includes multiple enhancements to boost the product's functionality, security, and usability, including:

• Addressing NVD Vulnerability Backlog. Action1 can now detect software vulnerabilities for applications listed in its Software Repository beyond the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) data, providing crucial visibility and automated remediation amid the NVD's update delays.
• Software Installation Customization. This enhancement allows customization of built-in and custom software packages without cloning, available for the entire enterprise, per organization, or per endpoint, to ensure continuous patch compliance while preserving future automatic updates.
• Real-Time Endpoint Attribute Reporting. Action1's reporting capabilities are now improved by adding endpoint attributes, including username, comment, OS types, IP address, and more, as selectable columns in custom reports.
• Expanded API. Action1 implements new capabilities and integration options, with code samples, supporting advanced custom integrations to address complex, enterprise-level needs.
• Multiple Usability Enhancements. The release introduces several UI improvements, including moving endpoints between groups, reworked endpoint organization controls, and many more – all designed to further simplify the already easiest-to-use patch management solution.
