Action1, a leading provider of real-time vulnerability discovery and automated patch management solutions, will be presenting their enhanced patch management solution at Microsoft Ignite 2024 in Chicago, November 19-21. As a strategic enhancement to Microsoft Intune, Action1 complements Microsoft’s device management software with advanced cloud-native patching and vulnerability management, designed to scale effortlessly and ensure endpoint security in real time.
Action1 seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Intune, elevating Intune’s device management capabilities with its Autonomous Endpoint Management solution. This advanced approach 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 provide an additional layer of compliance and protection tailored for hybrid work environments. With a setup time of under five minutes, Action1 empowers companies to rapidly secure their endpoints, manage them autonomously, and stay ahead of emerging threats.
Key Features of Action1 at Microsoft Ignite 2024
● Third-Party Application Patching
Intune’s native support for third-party software patching is minimal, often requiring additional workarounds. Action1, purpose-built for patch management, delivers automated third-party patching across a wide range of applications. This ensures that non-Microsoft software vulnerabilities are promptly addressed without extra steps or integrations.
● Real-Time Vulnerability Assessment
Unlike Intune’s scheduled compliance scans, Action1 provides continuous, real-time visibility into endpoint vulnerabilities. This proactive monitoring helps organizations identify and mitigate risks faster, reducing the time between detection and remediation.
● Automated Remediation
Action1 streamlines patching with detailed, policy-driven automation for OS and third-party software, significantly reducing manual workloads and ensuring consistent compliance across endpoints.
● Peer-to-Peer Patch Distribution
While Intune’s Delivery Optimization is effective for Microsoft updates, it has limitations for third-party applications. 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.
First 100 Endpoints Free Forever
To help organizations experience Action1’s benefits firsthand, a lifetime license for the first 100 endpoints is available at no cost, allowing enterprises to indefinitely trial the solution before full-scale implementation.
● Compliance and Security Certifications
Action1’s dedication to compliance is reflected in its certifications, including SOC 2 and ISO 27001—the first in patch management to achieve both standards. Additionally, Action1’s support of HIPAA, PCI DSS, CIS CSC, ACSC, and GLBA/FFIEC enables organizations to meet diverse regulatory requirements and strengthen endpoint security.
● Global Reach and Reliability
Action1’s strategically located data centers worldwide ensure fast patch deployment, supporting enterprises in scaling patch management with confidence, backed by robust and globally compliant infrastructure.

Legit Security Releases Survey Report on GenAI in Software Development, Revealing Pervasive Security Challenges Despite High Rate of Adoption
Posted in Commentary on November 19, 2024 by itnerdLegit Security, the definitive application security posture management (ASPM) leader providing end-to-end visibility and protection across the entire software factory, today announced the release of a new survey report, “Use and Security of GenAI in Software Development.” Capturing the perspectives of security and development professionals to uncover concerns about the visibility into and approaches to managing GenAI, the report’s findings revealed that both teams face critical security challenges when using GenAI in software development.
GenAI is quickly changing the software development process by automating tasks that once took developers hours, if not days, to complete, bolstering efficiency and productivity. Eighty-eight percent of developers report using it within their development organization, reflecting a broad shift in how development teams augment their capabilities with AI to meet tight deadlines and complex project demands. Despite the high rate of adoption, security is a critical concern. For instance, previous research by Legit revealed that LLMs and AI models contain bugs and vulnerabilities that can lead to AI supply chain attacks.
The report’s key findings include:
The report’s findings underscore GenAI’s importance in software development. However, as organizations increasingly adopt it into their CI/CD pipelines and software supply chains, they need to prioritize security and improve oversight while boosting collaboration between development and security teams.
