HOUSTON, Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Action1, a leading provider of an integrated real-time vulnerability discovery and automated patch management solution, is pleased to announce that it has been recognized as the Patch Management Solution of the Year in the Vulnerability Management category by the 2024 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards.

The mission of the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the creativity, hard work, and success of cybersecurity companies, technologies, and products.

These features make Action1 a future-ready solution that helps thousands of organizations worldwide simplify their patch management process and protect their IT environments.

Managing vulnerabilities is a big challenge for enterprises not only due to the vast number of security flaws being discovered but also because the timeframe to patch them is reducing. Vendors are increasingly releasing updates for vulnerabilities that attackers exploit at the moment of patch release. According to the Action1 2024 Software Vulnerability Ratings Report, the number of exploited vulnerabilities increased by 22% in 2023.

To help organizations promptly address vulnerabilities and eliminate the risks of operational disruption, data breaches, financial losses, and other potential consequences of exploits, Action1 consolidates vulnerability management and patching automation in a powerful autonomous endpoint management solution, enabling IT teams to save time and effort.
