FixNow: Automation for Immediate Action on Automox-Managed Devices

In today’s tech-driven world, every business needs to automate its IT processes, from patching to deploying software. With a variety of IT automation tools available in the market, choosing the right one can be overwhelming – and most of the time, the biggest brands aren’t even the most efficient and effective. However, there is an all-in-one platform that supports multiple operating systems and can automate your IT tasks quickly and efficiently. 

Automox now includes a market-disruptive, new capability called FixNow. FixNow enables platform users to instantly run plug-and-play scripts known as Automox Worklets™ on multiple devices at a single time. You can instantly see the results of this executed action – so no more worrying about whether or not your vulnerabilities were remediated.

FixNow is a new feature on the Automox platform that runs Worklets immediately and at enterprise scale across your Automox-managed IT environment with just an internet connection. Moreover, there’s no need for a VPN connection, which can introduce latency and hinder cross-OS support. Administrators can choose from a catalog of 300+ pre-built automations that span Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. These automations can also target any device (or set of devices) to remediate any issue, audit a configuration, or answer any question in real time.

Automox customers can use FixNow to act on devices immediately and at scale to:

• Enforce and audit configuration

• Remediate vulnerabilities

• Install or remove software

• Query devices and more

Using the Automox Worklet Catalog and FixNow, administrators choose a plug-and-play script, target devices, and act in real time with instant feedback to validate actions and outputs.

IT doesn’t have time to wait or get bogged down in manual tasks to solve an issue, especially when it comes to high-priority issues that can have highly negative ramifications for the organization. With FixNow, ITOps and practitioners can instantly perform IT critical functions such as:

• Quickly uninstalling third-party titles due to license overages and seeing immediate results

• Performing a remote wipe on a laptop in a remote environment to protect proprietary intellectual property instantly

• Discovering an antivirus agent online that’s running on laptops

• Patching all servers and laptops at once across on-prem and remote environments

Organizations must be able to execute these tasks immediately and can’t wait on scheduling or delays in results. Scheduling policies to run later can potentially cause a lot of friction on users and bump up against high-volume timeframes that conflict with maintenance windows for patching or updating devices. FixNow gives your IT team the ability to act immediately, across your entire network. With FixNow, it’s possible. It works at scale. And it’s super easy to use.
