Action1, a global leader in autonomous endpoint management (AEM), has unveiled new integrations designed to enhance Microsoft Intune with advanced patching and risk-based vulnerability management. These innovations bridge critical gaps in Intune by introducing end-to-end third-party application patching, intelligent vulnerability prioritization, and real-time visibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. The company is showcasing these new features live at Microsoft Ignite 2025 in San Francisco.
The Action1 Autonomous Endpoint Management Platform builds upon Microsoft Intune’s strong foundation in device provisioning, policy enforcement, and mobile device management. By adding comprehensive patch automation for hundreds of third-party applications, dynamic dashboards for real-time compliance tracking, and insights into high-risk vulnerabilities, Action1 transforms the way organizations manage and secure their endpoints.
Together, Intune and Action1 deliver unified endpoint protection that strengthens enterprise security without introducing additional tools or fragmented workflows. With upcoming Linux support, the integrated solution offers full coverage across Windows 11, Windows Server, macOS, and Linux, enabling IT teams to streamline operations and enhance resilience while maximizing their Microsoft ecosystem investments.
“Microsoft Intune plays a central role in modern device management strategies, yet many organizations still struggle with third-party patching, visibility, and vulnerability prioritization,” said Mike Walters, President and Co-founder of Action1. “By integrating autonomous patching and real-time risk insights, Action1 enables IT teams to respond faster, protect every endpoint, and achieve greater value from their Microsoft environments.”
Closing the Security Gaps in Intune
1. Comprehensive Third-Party Patching
Action1’s automated patching engine fills a major gap by providing full lifecycle patch management for hundreds of third-party applications not natively supported by Intune. Using peer-to-peer content distribution, the platform minimizes bandwidth usage while accelerating deployment and reducing attack exposure across distributed environments.
2. Real-Time Visibility and Control
Instead of waiting for scheduled patch cycles or delayed compliance reports, IT administrators gain immediate insight into patch status and device health. Live dashboards display which endpoints are fully updated, compliant, or at risk — eliminating guesswork and allowing instant remediation.
3. Risk-Based Vulnerability Prioritization
Action1 introduces a data-driven approach to vulnerability management by identifying and prioritizing the flaws most likely to be exploited. This helps security teams address high-impact vulnerabilities first, streamline compliance audits, and reduce overall risk.
4. Unified Endpoint Coverage
While Microsoft Intune does not support Windows Server environments, Action1 extends consistent patching and vulnerability management to both Windows 11 and Windows Server systems under a single flat-rate cost per endpoint. This unified coverage simplifies administration and ensures no critical systems are left unmanaged.
A Unified Vision for Secure and Autonomous Endpoint Management
By integrating seamlessly with Microsoft Intune, Action1 delivers a single, cohesive solution that spans the entire endpoint lifecycle — from device onboarding and policy configuration to continuous patching, vulnerability mitigation, and live reporting.
With Linux support scheduled for release later this quarter, Action1’s unified platform will provide consistent security controls across all major operating systems. This comprehensive approach empowers organizations to maintain visibility, compliance, and protection in today’s hybrid IT environments.
