Our take

Automox helps organizations safeguard themselves from cyber attacks by reducing or eliminating vulnerabilities that are commonly targeted. It automates software updates, security configurations, custom scripting, and critical patches so that software remains up to date and secure. Its system hardens the endpoints and allows security operators and IT to respond to threats much more quickly.

74% of companies say that they lack the staff to patch vulnerabilities quickly, even though a data breach costs companies an average of almost $4 million. Automox claims its system can reduce the labor hours needed to manage patches by 50% and see an 80% reduction for corporate attack surfaces. With big companies like Unicef, Greyhound, and Yale University already on board, Automox has established brand trust.

There are many big players in the antivirus space, such as Tanium, Ivanti, and IBM BigFix. However, with cybercrime exploding and businesses moving online at an increased rate due to the pandemic, there's also a lot of room for the company to grow. Its cloud-native architecture sets it apart from some of its competitors.
