Action1 announced a
major expansion of its free tier, increasing the number of free
endpoints from 100 to 200. The first, foundational use case for
Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM) is autonomous patching that accelerates
patch deployment and compliance and reduces IT overhead and degradation of
Digital Employee Experience (DEX). Driven by a mission to make autonomous
endpoint management easily and universally accessible, Action1 will now enable organizations and home users to deploy
its cloud-native patching solution to secure
the first 200 endpoints at no cost, forever, with no feature limits.
Democratizing Autonomous
Endpoint Management
Today's cyber threat
landscape presents unprecedented challenges, from sophisticated, Gen-AI-enabled
ransomware attacks to complex compliance demands. Small and medium-sized
businesses (SMBs) and nonprofits often lack the resources to address these
issues effectively.
"In our opinion, AEM
represents the most significant advancement in endpoint management in over a
decade," - posted Tom Cipolla, Senior Director, Analyst, Gartner on LinkedIn.
"It has the potential to significantly reduce the effort and time required to
patch and manage endpoint devices, while also protecting the digital employee
experience."
According to Veeam, 85%
of ransomware attacks target small businesses. Action1's expanded free tier
provides a lifeline to these targeted groups, providing:
- Enterprise-grade autonomous endpoint management FREE: Protecting up to 200
endpoints free forever, with simple scaling above 200, without hidden
costs or complexity.
- 5-minute deployment, effortless management: Start managing endpoints
immediately, minimize training and free up IT resources.
- Low bandwidth and hybrid workforce patching: Seamlessly deploy patches,
remediation, and updates with bandwidth-efficient P2P distribution-no VPN
required. Easily patch offline devices as soon as they reconnect online.
"For SMBs and nonprofits,
cybersecurity often feels unattainable due to limited budgets and expertise.
That makes these organizations vulnerable to malicious actors," said Mike
Walters, President and Co-Founder of
Action1. "Our platform changes that by delivering enterprise-grade, autonomous
endpoint management that's easy to use and completely free for 200 devices
forever and simple, affordable pricing beyond that. We're equipping
organizations of all sizes with the tools they need to thrive in today's challenging
cyber threat landscape."
Redefining
"Free" in Autonomous Endpoint Management
Unlike misleading "free"
software offers that often serve as bait for trials or data monetization
schemes, Action1 provides a genuinely free solution with comprehensive
autonomous endpoint management capabilities for the first 200 endpoints and
transparent pricing for any additional usage. With no hidden fees or commercial
handling of user information, Action1 empowers small businesses and non-profits
to operate and grow securely. It also enables larger organizations to start
using the platform's capabilities on smaller environments at no cost, with no
functional limits, before scaling up.
