October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. As such, Automox reinforces its commitment to reducing attack surfaces — an ongoing challenge most organizations face.
The initiative highlights Automox’s hardened platform architecture and leading vendor partnerships to ensure reduced risk of supply chain compromise while providing day-zero support for OS vulnerabilities. Forcing teams to choose between tight budgets and critical security features is just plain wrong. That’s why Automox includes multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), role-based access controls (RBAC), audit trails, and API access for all customers at no extra cost.
“Security by design shouldn’t be marketing fluff or a way to extract more revenue from customers,” says Jason Kikta, SVP Product and CISO of Automox. “It’s important to remember that your IT and security tools should reduce risk, not expand your attack surface. Automox proves this commitment through our platform architecture, vendor partnerships, and security-first approach that comes standard — not as an expensive add-on.”
Platform security differentiators include:
- Hardened Architecture: Automox enforces secure practices in every step of product development, from code to deployment. This includes secure agent communication, least-privilege access, and cloud-native architecture with strong encryption built on AWS’s government-certified infrastructure.
- Proactive Vendor Partnerships: As a Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP) partner and macOS day-zero support, Automox receives early CVE intelligence, enabling zero-day patching for OS-level vulnerabilities and keeping customers ahead of emerging threats.
- Patch Safe: Third-party patches undergo rigorous scanning through 50+ industry-leading malware detection engines before distribution, ensuring supply chain integrity without compromising speed or coverage.
- Proven Best-in-Class Platform Security: Automox maintains CSA Star, EU-US DPF, GDPR, PCI-DSS v4, SOC2+3, and TX-RAMP certifications, demonstrating adherence to established cloud security standards and best practices.

Kubernetes has become the backbone of cloud infrastructure, but it's also one of its biggest cost drivers. Recent research shows that 98% of senior IT leaders say Kubernetes now drives cloud spend, yet 91% still can't optimize it effectively. After years of adoption, most organizations have moved past discovery. They know container sprawl, idle resources and reactive scaling inflate costs. What they don't know is how to fix it ...
Artificial intelligence is no longer a future investment. It's already embedded in how we work — whether through copilots in productivity apps, real-time transcription tools in meetings, or machine learning models fueling analytics and personalization. But while enterprise adoption accelerates, there's one critical area many leaders have yet to examine: Can your network actually support AI at the speed your users expect? ...
The more technology businesses invest in, the more potential attack surfaces they have that can be exploited. Without the right continuity plans in place, the disruptions caused by these attacks can bring operations to a standstill and cause irreparable damage to an organization. It's essential to take the time now to ensure your business has the right tools, processes, and recovery initiatives in place to weather any type of IT disaster that comes up. Here are some effective strategies you can follow to achieve this ...
In today's fast-paced AI landscape, CIOs, IT leaders, and engineers are constantly challenged to manage increasingly complex and interconnected systems. The sheer scale and velocity of data generated by modern infrastructure can be overwhelming, making it difficult to maintain uptime, prevent outages, and create a seamless customer experience. This complexity is magnified by the industry's shift towards agentic AI ...

The explosion of generative AI and machine learning capabilities has fundamentally changed the conversation around cloud migration. It's no longer just about modernization or cost savings — it's about being able to compete in a market where AI is rapidly becoming table stakes. Companies that can't quickly spin up AI workloads, feed models with data at scale, or experiment with new capabilities are falling behind faster than ever before. But here's what I'm seeing: many organizations want to capitalize on AI, but they're stuck ...
