Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service that focuses on mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM). It enables organizations to manage and secure devices used by employees, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops, regardless of their location. Intune helps IT administrators control how devices are used, ensuring that corporate data is protected while allowing users to access the resources they need. This includes features like remote wipe, app deployment, and policy enforcement, making it a comprehensive solution for managing a modern, mobile workforce.

As a strategic addition to Microsoft Intune®, Action1 enhances Microsoft’s device management software with advanced, cloud-native patching and vulnerability management, designed to scale seamlessly and ensure real-time endpoint security.

Action1 complements Microsoft Intune, augmenting Intune’s device management capabilities with its Autonomous Endpoint Management solution. This 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 offer an additional layer of compliance and protection, tailored for hybrid work environments. With a setup time of under five minutes, Action1 enables companies to quickly secure their endpoints, manage them autonomously, and stay ahead of emerging threats.

Incorporating Action1 with Microsoft Intune offers several significant benefits for your business:

1. Enhanced Third-Party Application Patching: While Intune’s native support for third-party software patching is limited, Action1 automates this process across a wide range of applications. This ensures that vulnerabilities in non-Microsoft software are promptly addressed without needing extra steps or integrations.
2. Real-Time Vulnerability Assessment: Unlike Intune’s scheduled compliance scans, Action1 provides continuous, real-time visibility into endpoint vulnerabilities. This proactive monitoring helps identify and mitigate risks faster, reducing the time between detection and remediation.
3. Automated Remediation: Action1 streamlines patching with detailed, policy-driven automation for both operating systems and third-party software. This significantly reduces manual workloads and ensures consistent compliance across all endpoints.
4. Peer-to-Peer Patch Distribution: 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. This is a notable improvement over Intune’s Delivery Optimization, which is primarily effective for Microsoft updates.
5. Free Trial for First 200 Endpoints: Action1 offers a lifetime license for the first 200 endpoints at no cost, allowing organizations to indefinitely trial the solution before full-scale implementation. This helps businesses experience the benefits firsthand without any financial commitment.
6. Compliance and Security Certifications: Action1 is certified with SOC 2 and ISO 27001, making it the first in patch management to achieve both standards. Additionally, it supports HIPAA, PCI DSS, CIS CSC, ACSC, and GLBA/FFIEC, enabling organizations to meet diverse regulatory requirements and strengthen endpoint security.
7. Global Reach and Reliability: Action1’s strategically located data centers worldwide ensure fast patch deployment, supporting enterprises in scaling patch management with confidence. This is backed by robust and globally compliant infrastructure.

By integrating Action1 with Microsoft Intune, your business can enhance its endpoint security, streamline patch management, and ensure compliance with various regulatory standards, all while benefiting from a reliable and scalable solution.
