Action1 has
announced new integrations that expand Microsoft Intune’s patching and vulnerability management capabilities across Windows, macOS, and Linux, helping IT teams close critical visibility and security gaps.
Microsoft Intune is a key tool for managing modern devices, but many organizations still struggle with gaps in third-party patching and real-time risk management. That’s where Action1 steps in. Announced at Microsoft Ignite 2025, the new integration adds automated patching for hundreds of third-party apps and a unified dashboard for patch visibility. This helps IT and security teams keep systems secure and consistent without juggling extra tools.
The integration brings everything together within the Microsoft ecosystem. Rather than switching between multiple tools or dashboards, teams can manage patching, compliance, and vulnerabilities from one place. It extends this visibility beyond Windows 11 to include Windows Server and soon Linux, giving organizations a simpler, more consistent way to protect all their systems under Intune.
Turning Visibility into Action
Most IT teams already know where their patching problems are. The challenge is fixing them fast enough. Delayed updates, scattered reports, and limited automation can leave systems exposed longer than they should be. Action1’s autonomous engine helps close that gap by providing real-time compliance data and updating risk scores based on how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited.
This visibility turns insight into action. Teams can instantly see which devices are secure, which are at risk, and which patches need attention first. It cuts down the time spent digging through reports and speeds up remediation. Instead of reacting to issues after the fact, patching becomes a continuous, proactive process
Unifying Coverage Across Platforms
Where Intune primarily focuses on Windows 11 and mobile devices, Action1 expands the same level of visibility and automation to Windows Server, macOS, and soon Linux. This broader coverage means organizations no longer need to maintain separate patching workflows for different operating systems. By treating every endpoint as part of a single managed environment, Action1 brings operational consistency and reduces tool sprawl—a growing challenge for IT and security teams managing hybrid environments.
The company’s risk-based approach also aligns with how enterprises are evolving their security frameworks. Rather than patching everything at once, teams can focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most to business continuity and compliance, aligning remediation efforts with real-world threat intelligence.
Action1’s partnership with Microsoft underscores a shared goal: to give enterprises the flexibility and visibility they need without forcing them to layer on more complexity. For organizations already invested in Intune, the integration represents a practical way to get more value from their Microsoft environment while closing the most common security and compliance gaps.
