Advantages of Using Automated Patch Deployment

Patch management, though tedious, is a critical component of IT security. Using specialized software to automate it provides peace of mind knowing your systems are updated, software vulnerabilities are addressed, and the chance of a successful cyberattack is significantly minimized.

Deploy Essential Patches as Soon as They’re Released

Patch management solutions help your organization to automatically deploy critical updates as soon as they’re released by software vendors. This process strengthens your security posture and enables you to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities before cybercriminals can weaponize them.

Improve Your IT Productivity

Software updates do more than just close critical vulnerabilities—they also fix OSes and third-party application bugs, introduce new features, and improve the overall performance of your devices. This way, all your endpoints operate at peak performance, freeing up valuable IT staff time from troubleshooting issues while helping you avoid unexpected operational instabilities and costly downtime that can impact your entire business.

Minimize Erroneous Human Interference

Automating each step of the patching lifecycle eliminates the need for human interventions, reducing errors that could lead to serious consequences like downtime and financial losses. Even if a problematic update passes initial testing, your patching tool has swift rollback capabilities that can resolve issues in minutes rather than the hours or days required for manual troubleshooting.

Eliminate Unnecessary Costs

Patch management solutions are cost-effective since they do not require excessive human intervention. Therefore, instead of concentrating efforts and time into the endless vicious cycle of manually updating your endpoints, your company can allocate resources and manpower where they are most needed. Consequently, patching tools eliminate the need to grow your IT team since they offer unlimited scalability.

What Our Customers Say

Angels community health center logo

Action1 saves me 10–15 minutes per machine on software deployment. I can access every device remotely, so I don’t have to literally travel to every location and touch every machine.

Essential tech support logo

Action1 helped us save about 125 hours per month by automating patch management. That’s a huge enabler to our business; as an MSP, the more you automate, the more money you save, and the more savings you can pass on to your customers.

Ian Holub,
CEO and Co-founder of Essential Tech Support

Area agency on aging of Broward country logo

Without adequate patch management in place, I would have to go around to each individual machine to keep them updated. It could leave us open to security vulnerabilities, as a manual approach always leaves a gap for patches to be missed

Chris Delez,
Information Systems & Building Manager at the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County

The Arthur companies logo

With our previous tool, we were under constant risk, as 20% of our network was not being patched with security updates because they were off-site or not joined to our company domain. Action1 addresses this security gap by enabling us to establish a robust patch management program that covers 100% of our devices.

Joe Holder,
IT Director at The Arthur Companies

Thanks to Action1, I am able to check off a couple of boxes on a GLBA compliance list.
