Free 100 endpoints now accessible to small businesses, nonprofits, IT consultants, and households, advancing a safer digital world
HOUSTON, Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Action1, a leading provider of real-time vulnerability discovery and automated patch management solutions, today announced a significant expansion of its free patch management offering. Previously available exclusively to business users, Action1 is now breaking down barriers to advanced endpoint security for everyone—including nonprofits, independent consultants, small businesses, and home users—ensuring no one is left vulnerable to cyber threats.
With 100 endpoints free forever, Action1 makes its robust, cloud-native patch management solution equitable for both individuals and organizations worldwide, empowering them to combat cyberattacks and safeguard their digital environments.
Small Targets, Big Risks
Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting the most vulnerable among us—small companies, nonprofits, and independent professionals. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, around half of all global cyberattacks strike small businesses, and 60% of these companies go out of business within six months of a breach or attack. Unpatched vulnerabilities, which account for nearly 60% of all cyberattacks, according to the Ponemon Institute, are particularly harmful to small organizations and individuals with limited resources. Action1 addresses these challenges by delivering automated patching and vulnerability management across both operating systems and third-party applications, ensuring the broader community stays protected without requiring extensive IT or budget resources.
“Cybersecurity is no longer a privilege reserved for large enterprises—it’s a necessity for everyone,” said Alex Vovk, CEO and co-founder of Action1. “We extend our platform to all—from small businesses to households—striving to make patch management both easy and universally accessible. In doing so, Action1 aims to ensure that cybersecurity is within reach for everyone, everywhere, building the foundation for a safer digital world.”
With Action1, users gain the benefits of an autonomous endpoint management solution for the first 100 endpoints at no cost, with features including:
- Ease of Use: Start patching endpoints in under five minutes and rapidly scale to as many endpoints as needed. No dependency on legacy tools, clunky integrations, or on-premise software.
- Unified Cross-OS and Third-Party Patching: Automate the entire patching process for remote and onsite endpoints, from identifying and deploying missing updates to real-time reporting.
- Vulnerability Discovery and Remediation: Prevent security breaches and ransomware attacks. Detect vulnerabilities in OS and applications in real-time and enforce remediation.
