Automox, the cloud-native IT Operations platform provider announced a partnership with SentinelOne , an autonomous cybersecurity platform company. This partnership offers customers a single solution to stave off the growing risk of cyber threats. Together, Automox and SentinelOne enable faster, automated vulnerability discovery and remediation so customers can act faster than threats.
The number of cyberattacks organizations face, and the damage done to businesses is growing at a frightening clip, with the average cost of a data breach rising to $3.86 million in 2020. Automox and SentinelOne address the largest source of breaches: unpatched or misconfigured operating systems and applications, which have accounted for nearly 60 percent of data breaches in the last two years. The ability to quickly identify and fix vulnerabilities on an endpoint is critical to reducing a company’s attack surface. But it is incredibly challenging to minimize attack surface in increasingly distributed corporate environments burdened with the complex, legacy IT operations tools of yesterday.

“Partnering with Automox strengthens our mission to defeat every attack, every second, every day,” said Chuck Fontana, SVP of Business Development at SentinelOne. “With SentinelOne and Automox, our customers dramatically improve their cyber hygiene, speed time to resolution for critical vulnerabilities, and free up valuable cycles to address other security threats and IT priorities.”
The SentinelOne Automox joint solution empowers joint customers to quickly remediate vulnerabilities. Threat visibility data is forwarded directly from SentinelOne to Automox, documenting the vulnerabilities within an organization’s environment. These vulnerabilities are then quickly remediated within the Automox console for Windows, macOS and Linux devices worldwide. The partnership creates a seamless workflow between ITOps and SecOps that frees up time to address other pressing security issues.
