Unified Cross-OS Patch Management
Manage and update your Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints directly in your browser from anywhere around the world with no VPN required. Action1's Autonomous Endpoint Management platform delivers real-time visibility into vulnerabilities, missing patches, and compliance status, enabling your IT team to remediate security gaps with patch management software that just works.
Windows OS
Keep your Windows 10/11 and Windows Server endpoints secure and compliant by automating update/patch deployments and report generation in just a few clicks. Avoid unexpected downtime by remediating vulnerabilities with phased, risk-free, autonomous rollouts.
macOS
Automate patching across your entire macOS fleet. Identify vulnerabilities and missing updates in real time, test patches thoroughly, and schedule seamless deployments to turn manual patching into a set-it-and-forget-it process.
Linux
Keep your Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, and SUSE distributions secure and stable with automated updates that never fall behind. Less downtime, stronger security, no manual overhead-just patching that works.
Action1 Patch Management Platform Functionalities
Cloud - Native Patch Management
Action1 is a cloud-native, agent-driven platform that requires no VPN or local infrastructure to update your endpoints and keep them secure and compliant. All you need to do is open your browser and start patching to stop vulnerabilities from being exploited.
Remote Update Deployment
Save time and resources by updating your on-premises and remote endpoints from anywhere. With a quick login to your Action1 account, you can deploy patches instantly or schedule them outside business hours to prevent operational disruptions.
Update Management
Take complete control over update management across your network. Identify missing patches, assess vulnerabilities, deploy updates on your schedule, and generate compliance reports to reduce your attack surface and meet regulatory requirements.
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Distribution
Updates and patches are downloaded once to your network, then shared internally. This optimizes bandwidth usage when deploying large updates, delivers patches faster, and eliminates the need for local appliances or cache servers.
Update Rings
Update rings enable staged, risk-free, autonomous patch rollouts, advancing updates from inner to outer rings based on success rates and deployment counts. Only reliable patches advance to the next stage, while problematic ones are automatically stopped.
Automated Patch Deployment
Our cloud-native platform autonomously handles the complete patch management lifecycle from vulnerability detection through patch testing and deployment to reporting.
Cross-OS Patching
Automatically identify, prioritize, test, and deploy patches across your Windows, macOS and third-party applications to keep every single endpoint secure and up-to-date, cutting vulnerability remediation time from weeks to hours.
Real-Time Visibility
Gain real-time visibility into your IT assets, existing vulnerabilities, and patch status. Through the intuitive dashboard, you can monitor endpoint health, identify missing patches, ensure compliance, and remediate vulnerabilities promptly.
Enterprise Integrations
Action1 integrates with your existing IT infrastructure through SSO (Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Duo, and Google), Active Directory, REST API, and PowerShell automation, and supports multi-organization management with role-based access controls.

Scalable Enterprise Patch Deployment
Action1 gives you an infinitely scalable enterprise patch deployment that works just as well for 50 endpoints as it does for 50,000+. It automates end-to-end patch management, requiring no VPN, appliances, or complex configuration. In minutes, you can identify all known vulnerabilities across your on-premises and remote endpoints and remediate them by scheduling, testing, and deploying missing patches. From a single console, you can update multiple OSes and third-party apps and generate audit-ready reports to stay on top of compliance, address software code imperfections, and enhance system stability
Keep operating systems patched
Update Windows and macOS consistently on all your workstations and servers, even if they are not on a corporate network, disconnected from a company VPN, or not joined to a domain.
Patch third-party applications
Deploy patches for dozens of the most common applications, tested by Action1 team shortly after release, and save the hassle of checking vendors' websites for the latest versions. Patch your custom applications from the same console.
Detect missing patches in real-time
See in seconds what OS and application patches are pending on what machines, either by an endpoint or by an update. Be notified about new Windows, macOS updates and missing software patches waiting to be rolled out.
Enforce patch management policy
Prioritize patches based on their security severity. Choose the patching schedule for update deployment to meet your patching policy requirements, assign patches between critical and non-critical endpoints, avoid patching overlaps and user downtime.
Test and approve patches
Test patches before the rollout per established patch management best practices. Approving patches before deploying them is easy, too: specify whether updates have to be manually approved or choose to deploy all critical security patches automatically.
Deploy Windows feature updates
Centrally upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 or install feature upgrades for Windows 10 or Windows 11 across the entire enterprise including remote employees.
Enterprise Patch Management at Any Scale
From 200 To 200,000 Endpoints
Get started with 200 endpoints completely free, with no functional limits, forever. Test the software firsthand and then scale to hundreds of thousands of endpoints at a gradually lowering per-endpoint cost, without changing a single thing in your infrastructure.
Patch Distributed Enterprise Environments
Secure all your endpoints irrespective of their location. Action1 works equally well for on-premises and remote endpoints, servers, virtual machines, and cloud workloads. No VPN, appliances, or sophisticated network configuration is required due to outbound-only cloud connections.
Built for Enterprise Security Requirements
Mandatory MFA, fully customizable RBAC with granular per-user permissions, TLS 1.2/AES-256 encryption, and a full audit trail make Action1 perfect for regulated environments, with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, TX-RAMP, and GDPR compliance to prove it.
Granular Patch Deployment Policies
Patch your way. Action1 gives you full control over when and which patches should be tested and deployed based on severity, across all endpoints or a particular group, and whether to reboot immediately or after the working day ends.
Integrates with Enterprise IT Ecosystems
Combine the power of your vulnerability tools with the market-leading patch management capabilities of Action1. Connect Rapid7, ServiceNow, CrowdStrike, Tenable, and Microsoft Defender with our AEM platform for stronger security flaw identification and faster remediation.
Reduce Patch Management Complexity
Bid farewell to manual patching, as everything from detection to remediation gets automated. Even audit-ready reports are generated in minutes using 100+ built-in customizable templates. Keep your endpoints up-to-date, secure, and compliant with almost no manual effort.
