New Zealand Reseller Sold On Cloud-Native Patching Solution for Greater Flexibility and Improved Visibility for Its Customers

Technology Category	Cybersecurity & Privacy - Endpoint Security Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Device Management Platforms
Applicable Industries	Finance & Insurance
Applicable Functions	Business Operation Maintenance
Services	Cybersecurity Services System Integration
Challenge	Customers are increasingly moving to IT estates with servers located in the cloud and on-premises. Additionally, user endpoints are more distributed and are connecting to corporate systems from anywhere. How to manage these hybrid corporate IT infrastructures has become increasingly complex, and zero trust security architectures demand different management approaches to function effectively. As corporate systems expand outside of the organizational perimeter, organizations can no longer rely on the corporate network to protect corporate systems. Patching and endpoint hardening must be treated with a sense of urgency, considering that a large portion of known malware is exploiting vulnerabilities that have been in the wild for a prolonged period. Timely patching is becoming more important to chief information security officers to better protect their expanding network infrastructure. Read More

The Instillery offers a variety of IT and cybersecurity products and services focused on empowering their customers to do what they do best: delivering value for their customers and sharing their own expertise with the world.

Solution	The Instillery chose Automox as its patching and endpoint hardening solution for two key reasons. First, Automox shifts the focus of patching from being merely an operational task to be a security and vulnerability management activity. With Automox, customers can visualize and understand the risks by the CVEs their systems are exposed to. Secondly, Automox is cloud-native, which means it doesn’t rely on inbound network access or that endpoints be domain-joined. Automox easily accommodates cloud deployments and work-from-home scenarios, and decreases the need for networks to be joined via WANs or VPNs – which further supports a zero trust (ZTNA) security approach. The Instillery worked with its customer, TOWER Insurance, to select a patching and endpoint hardening platform that was cross platform and provided both OS and third-party patching solutions. Additionally, TOWER needed a solution that was automated which would allow them to rapidly deploy critical updates and reduce the time and effort needed to keep their endpoints up to date.

Challenge

Customers are increasingly moving to IT estates with servers located in the cloud and on-premises. Additionally, user endpoints are more distributed and are connecting to corporate systems from anywhere. How to manage these hybrid corporate IT infrastructures has become increasingly complex, and zero trust security architectures demand different management approaches to function effectively. As corporate systems expand outside of the organizational perimeter, organizations can no longer rely on the corporate network to protect corporate systems. Patching and endpoint hardening must be treated with a sense of urgency, considering that a large portion of known malware is exploiting vulnerabilities that have been in the wild for a prolonged period. Timely patching is becoming more important to chief information security officers to better protect their expanding network infrastructure.

Impact #1	TOWER chose Automox for its ability to provide a single view of their patch management and software base across their multi-platform fleet.
Impact #2	TOWER appreciated other benefits of the solution, such as the ability to search against a specific CVE ID and to leverage worklets to further support their endpoint management needs.
Impact #3	For TOWER, moving to Automox has significantly reduced the effort required to perform routine patching, thereby reducing the associated costs.
