Action1 Release Notes

Action1, a leading provider of autonomous endpoint management (AEM) solutions, today announced the launch of a new UK data center region, giving customers greater control over where their endpoint and associated platform data is stored.

The launch responds directly to strong demand from the UK government, public-sector, and critical infrastructure organizations, for which data location can be an important security, governance, and procurement consideration. Customers can now select the UK as their data-hosting location at no additional cost, helping remove a potential barrier to adopting autonomous patch management and vulnerability remediation.

“For many UK organizations, knowing exactly where their data resides is often as important as how it’s protected,” said Branden Boag, VP of Sales and Alliances at Action1. “By enabling them to keep data within UK jurisdiction, we’re removing a barrier that has kept these organizations from fully benefiting from Action1’s enterprise-grade autonomous patch management solution.”

Architecture Designed for Evolving Sovereignty Requirements

For many technology providers, adding a regional data center requires significant infrastructure changes, extensive testing, duplicated operational processes, and ongoing investment.

Action1 has deliberately built an architecture that simplifies regional deployment without requiring major changes to the underlying platform. This allows the company to bring new regions online more efficiently while maintaining consistent functionality, security and performance. It also ensures that Action1 can respond more quickly as countries introduce or strengthen local data-residency and sovereignty requirements.

“We designed Action1’s architecture expecting data-residency requirements to grow more common and more complex over time,” said Alex Vovk, CEO and Co-founder of Action1. “Rather than treating each regional data center as a one-off project, we made that investment early, so we could respond quickly wherever those requirements emerge. The UK data center is proof that investment is paying off.”

Supporting the Needs of UK Organizations

Local hosting can be especially important for UK government, public-sector and critical infrastructure organizations with strict policies governing where data is stored, processed, managed or accessed. The new region helps reduce data-location concerns during security and procurement reviews while demonstrating Action1’s commitment to the UK market.

Action1’s investment follows revenue from UK customers more than doubling year-over-year in 2025, with demand particularly strong in the government, public-sector, and critical infrastructure sectors.

For large enterprises, regulated organizations and government agencies, control over data location is often essential to meeting internal security and compliance requirements. Action1 provides this capability, including UK hosting, as a standard part of the platform at no additional cost, rather than positioning it as an expensive enterprise-only add-on, so security and compliance requirements aren’t tied to contract size.

The new UK data center is available beginning September 22, 2026.

Action1

Action1, a leading provider of autonomous endpoint management (AEM) solutions, today announced two new endpoint management modules: Endpoint Configuration Management and Endpoint Enrollment and Provisioning. The separately licensed modules extend Action1’s endpoint management capabilities, helping organizations rapidly bring Windows endpoints under management and continuously maintain them in line with approved security configurations.

As AI accelerates the discovery and exploitation of vulnerabilities, the time available for IT teams to respond is shrinking. Action1 Endpoint Enrollment and Provisioning is built to help reduce that gap by allowing organizations to quickly enroll selected Windows endpoints through Microsoft Intune and immediately apply the software, vulnerability remediation, and configuration policies required to bring them into a managed state.

Once an endpoint is enrolled, the provisioning feature runs assigned automations to deploy software, patch vulnerabilities, and apply configuration policies, while allowing IT teams to monitor the results – all from a single console. This helps organizations shorten the path from discovering exposure to taking remediation action across affected endpoints.

Action1 Endpoint Configuration Management addresses another persistent endpoint security challenge: configuration drift. Organizations can define configuration policies using established security frameworks and benchmarks, including Microsoft Security Baselines, CIS, DISA STIGs, NIST, and others, or select individual security controls based on their requirements.

Policies can be assigned to endpoint groups in either assessment-only or assessment-and-remediation mode. Action1 automations assess endpoints for configuration drift, remediate settings that have moved outside the approved baseline, and report the resulting compliance status.

“Endpoint security increasingly comes down to speed and consistency,” said Mike Walters, President and Co-founder of Action1. “When new threats emerge, organizations need to bring endpoints under management quickly, but also ensure they remain securely configured afterward. Action1’s Enrollment and Provisioning and Configuration Management address both sides of that challenge: accelerating the path to a secure, managed state and continuously keeping them there.”

Together, the new modules broaden Action1’s endpoint management capabilities around three critical security outcomes: rapidly establishing management coverage across endpoints, reducing the window between exposure and remediation, and preventing configuration drift from creating new security gaps.

The new Endpoint Enrollment and Provisioning module enables organizations to:

• Enroll selected Windows endpoints into Action1 through Microsoft Intune
• Automatically deploy the Action1 Agent during enrollment
• Assign provisioning automations to newly enrolled endpoints
• Deploy required software
• Remediate vulnerabilities
• Apply configuration policies
• Monitor provisioning results in Action1

The new Endpoint Configuration Management module enables organizations to:

• Create and maintain secure Windows endpoint configuration policies
• Build policies from established security baselines or individual controls
• Apply policies to selected endpoint groups
• Assess endpoints for configuration drift
• Automatically remediate configuration deviations
• Monitor and report configuration compliance

Both Endpoint Enrollment and Provisioning and Endpoint Configuration Management are available as separately licensed modules and are not included in the standard Action1 platform license.

Action1, a leading provider of autonomous endpoint management (AEM) solutions, recently recognized by Inc. 5000 as the fastest-growing private software company in America, today announced the launch of Action1 Connector for Jira, a new integration that makes autonomous patch management and vulnerability remediation transparent and easy to manage in Jira. The connector brings Action1 findings into Jira Cloud, where IT teams can assign responsibility, track progress, and stay aligned on what needs attention.

For many IT teams, Jira is where operational tasks are routed, prioritized, and tracked. To keep patching and vulnerability remediation transparent across the organization, teams need relevant activities to appear in those Jira workflows using the processes they already have in place. Without that workflow connection, they may need to manually create Jira issues, route tasks to the right projects, and track progress across disconnected systems.

Action1 Connector for Jira closes this gap by automatically creating and updating Jira issues for vulnerabilities, missing updates, reboot-required endpoints, offline endpoints, and automation failures identified by Action1. This helps IT teams reduce manual ticket creation, bring relevant remediation details into Jira, and manage responsibility, priority, and progress through the Jira workflows they already use.

“IT and security teams need a continuous path from endpoint risk detection to vulnerability remediation,” said Alex Vovk, CEO and Co-Founder of Action1. “By bringing autonomous patching and endpoint management into Jira, Action1 is extending endpoint intelligence and remediation context into the enterprise workflows where teams already assign ownership, prioritize work, and drive issues to resolution.”

The connector supports ongoing synchronization, not just one-time ticket creation. It can create Jira issues, add relevant details and labels, route issues to the appropriate Jira projects, and include links back to Action1. By keeping Jira and Action1 workflows aligned, the connector helps IT teams avoid duplicating Jira issues and track remediation without relying on manual ticket creation or disconnected systems.

Reducing Manual Coordination as Endpoint Risk Accelerates

As IT environments become more complex, with more devices, distributed endpoints, and applications to manage, attackers are exploiting vulnerabilities faster. IT teams need efficient ways to move from identifying issues to remediating them. Manual ticket creation, routing, and status tracking can slow that process down. Action1 Connector for Jira helps reduce that administrative burden by connecting Action1 findings to the Jira workflows IT teams already use.

“Jira has been one of the most requested integrations from Action1 customers and prospects,” said Mike Walters, President and Co-Founder of Action1. “The demand reflects a clear enterprise need: organizations want patching and remediation activity to be visible in the systems they already use to assign responsibility, manage priorities, and track progress. This connector is another step in Action1’s expansion of autonomous patch management into the broader enterprise technology ecosystem.”

The Action1 Connector for Jira is now available through the Atlassian Marketplace, making it easy for organizations to integrate Action1 with their existing Jira workflows.

Action1, a leading provider of autonomous endpoint management (AEM) solutions, today announced major expansions to its enterprise ecosystem, unveiling new security integrations with Rapid7 InsightVM, Tenable, CrowdStrike Falcon Spotlight, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. The company also introduced its Universal Vulnerability Data Integration, enabling organizations to ingest exported vulnerability data from virtually any vulnerability management system into a single, actionable platform.

“These integrations represent a significant milestone in Action1’s enterprise growth strategy,” said Mike Walters, President and Co-founder of Action1. “Organizations are investing heavily in best-of-breed vulnerability discovery and endpoint security tools, but they still struggle to operationalize remediation at scale. By expanding our ecosystem with Rapid7, Tenable, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, and universal data ingestion capabilities, Action1 strengthens its role as the autonomous remediation engine that transforms vulnerability intelligence into immediate, measurable risk reduction.”

Enterprises commonly rely on vulnerability assessment platforms such as Rapid7, Tenable, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft Defender, along with third-party scan data, to identify and prioritize security risks across complex environments. However, these tools primarily deliver visibility rather than remediation. As a result, IT and security teams are often left to manually bridge the gap between detection and patching, slowing response times and increasing operational overhead.

By integrating directly with leading vulnerability discovery and endpoint security platforms, Action1 will correlate detected vulnerabilities with endpoint-level remediation intelligence and automated patching capabilities. This unified approach enables organizations to move from detection to resolution within a streamlined workflow, simplifying the entire vulnerability management lifecycle, from discovery and prioritization to remediation and continuous compliance.

Rapid7 InsightVM Integration

The Action1 integration with Rapid7 InsightVM connects vulnerability discovery insights with endpoint-level remediation intelligence. By aligning scan data, asset context, and remediation capabilities, security and IT teams gain unified visibility, accurate prioritization, and faster remediation of real risks.

Tenable Integration

Through its integration with Tenable, Action1 enriches vulnerability data with actionable remediation insights. Dual-platform verification enhances asset coverage by identifying unpatched, unrecognized, or missing assets across environments. Automated reporting highlights which vulnerabilities can be patched immediately and which require alternative remediation actions, supporting faster mitigation and audit-ready compliance.

CrowdStrike Falcon Integration

The CrowdStrike Falcon Spotlight integration correlates detected vulnerabilities with Action1-managed endpoints to identify patchable exposures and uncover missing or unknown assets across both platforms. Automated reporting and optional severity-based endpoint attributes enable accurate prioritization, compliance tracking, and more efficient remediation workflows.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Integration

The Microsoft Defender integration connects vulnerability findings with endpoint-level remediation insights to provide clear visibility and faster resolution. The integration flags patchable and non-patchable risks and identifies missing or unrecognized assets across both platforms. Automated reporting and severity-based endpoint attributes support streamlined remediation and compliance tracking.

Universal Vulnerability Data Integration

Building on its expanding ecosystem, Action1 also introduced its Universal Vulnerability Data Integration, enabling organizations to ingest exported vulnerability data from virtually any vulnerability management system. This capability centralizes disparate vulnerability findings into a single, actionable view, enriching raw scan results with endpoint-level remediation intelligence.

Automated correlation and reporting eliminate manual spreadsheet cross-referencing, helping security and IT teams quickly prioritize patchable vulnerabilities, identify coverage gaps, reduce exposure, and maintain audit-ready compliance with minimal operational effort.

Together, these integrations represent another step in Action1’s ongoing expansion of its enterprise integration ecosystem, designed to unify fragmented security and IT workflows within a single operational framework. By continuously extending connectivity with widely adopted security tools – including upcoming integrations with platforms like Qualys – Action1 helps organizations reduce tool sprawl, simplify remediation processes, and improve cross-team efficiency through an automated, scalable approach.

RSA Conference attendees are invited to meet the Action1 team at Booth #0454 on the Moscone South Expo Floor to see live demonstrations of these new integrations and learn how autonomous patching can accelerate enterprise risk reduction.

Action1, a leading provider of autonomous endpoint management (AEM) solutions, today launched the ServiceNow Connector, enabling IT and security teams to surface real-time, actionable patch status and vulnerability data directly within the ServiceNow Configuration Management Database (CMDB). The new Action1–ServiceNow connector enables organizations to automate patch deployment, accelerate remediation, and maintain continuous compliance by leveraging Action1’s industry-leading patching and autonomous endpoint management (AEM) capabilities.

Today’s enterprises operate in globally dispersed, hybrid environments where endpoint data is constantly changing as devices move, users shift, agents drift, and vulnerability counts fluctuate. With fragmented visibility, IT teams often spend hours reconciling spreadsheets instead of patching endpoints and closing vulnerabilities, leading to slower response times, higher risk of vulnerability exploits, and potential compliance gaps. Action1 bridges these gaps by bringing patch and current endpoint details into ServiceNow CMDB, providing IT teams with real-time insights they can act on immediately.

The Action1-ServiceNow connector populates the CMDB with essential endpoint details—platform/OS, agent version, online status, last seen—alongside real-time patch status, missing updates and vulnerability counters. From a single CMDB pane, analysts can triage incidents, identify unpatched devices, prioritize remediation, and track patch compliance and endpoint hygiene, while IT leaders gain consistent reports and dashboards—all within their existing IT Service Management (ITSM) and IT Asset Management (ITAM) workflows.

“IT admins shouldn’t chase data—they should act on it,” said Mike Walters, President and Co-founder of Action1. “With live patch and vulnerability insights in ServiceNow CMDB, we make it faster and easier to identify, prioritize, and remediate unpatched endpoints, without leaving the tools they trust.”

Action1-ServiceNow Connector Benefits

• Faster Triage: View OS, user, online status, patch status and vulnerability counters directly from an incident.
• Prioritized Remediation: Filter devices with missing patches, critical vulnerabilities, pending restarts, or stale endpoints.
• Hygiene and Coverage Tracking: Monitor patch deployment status, agent versions, online/offline status, and endpoints that haven’t checked in.
• Simplified Reporting: Build patch compliance dashboards and reports in minutes without exporting spreadsheets for informed decision-making and leadership updates.

Connected Solutions Built for Simplified IT and Security

The ServiceNow integration builds on Action1’s growing portfolio of integrations with Axonius, Duo, Entra ID, Google, Microsoft Intune, Okta, Rapid7, VulnCheck NVD++, Zapier, with upcoming integrations planned for Jira, Pax8, and Tenable. This ecosystem of integrations makes it easier for organizations to connect their IT and security tools, streamline workflows, maintain real-time visibility across endpoints, and automate patch management and endpoint remediation without added operational burden.

Getting Started

The Action1-ServiceNow connector is now available via the ServiceNow Store. Setup is simple: connect Action1, schedule the import, select the fields to make visible in the CMDB, and start using standard ServiceNow dashboards and reports to monitor patch status, vulnerability counts, and endpoint posture.
