About Automox
Automox is a cloud-based patch and endpoint management service for IT and security teams. It applies one patch policy, one schedule and one set of rollout rings across Windows, macOS and Linux, and it enforces reboots, including on laptops that missed the maintenance window.
When no patch exists, for example for a zero-day, a misconfiguration or unsupported software, its Worklets can disable a protocol, lock down a setting or quarantine the software instead. Reporting is included to show which endpoints are protected. The company has also announced Canopy One MDM.
