Happy Halloween!
October's Automox Worklet™ Roundup is here! When it comes to automating, patching, disabling, mitigating, and removing – Automox is the house on your environment’s street giving away Worklet-sized candy bars. These Worklets are just for you – and they’re all treat, no trick.
Automate Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Onboarding
This Worklet allows administrators to simplify the onboarding process for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Deploy this PowerShell-based script across your network to make sure each device is correctly onboarded to the Defender for Endpoint platform.
It saves big time for your IT team, reduces the possibility of human error in the onboarding process, and promotes consistent and proper implementation of security measures. It’s scary how good it is.
Patch Tuesday Zero-Day (and other) Worklets
Next up is a security-focused Worklet designed to mitigate vulnerabilities identified in October’s Patch Tuesday release. With this Worklet, you can quickly deactivate the HTTP/2 protocol on your web server to mitigate the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Attack (CVE-2023-44487).
In addition, there are Worklets designed to disable MSMQ until proper patching can be applied. There’s also a Worklet built to make sure EnablePacketQueue is disabled and mitigate CVE-2023-36603.
In October’s Patch Tuesday, Worklets were made available to patch 22% of the released vulnerabilities. These Worklets help keep your endpoints protected against potential exploits. Plus, they save your IT department valuable time.
Linux – Disable Password Authentication for SSH
For Linux users, the Disable Password Authentication for SSH Worklet is a must-have. It allows administrators to enforce the use of SSH keys, enhancing overall security along with the principle of least privilege.
With the help of this Worklet, you can immediately disable password-based SSH login capabilities across all your Linux endpoints.
Windows – Remove Old User Profiles
Finally, this Worklet was designed to remove old Windows user profiles. This PowerShell-based maintenance script identifies user profiles from the device's registry key that exceed a specified age limit.
By automating this task, you can efficiently remove outdated user profiles, enhancing the overall security and performance of your Windows endpoints.
Endpoint Management Sorcery Automation
That wraps up the October Worklet Roundup. Like well-carved pumpkins on Halloween, these Worklets light up your endpoints with all the patches they could ever need. Remember, cyberthreats can be scarier than any ghost or goblin, but with the right Worklets, you can keep digital monsters at bay.
Stay safe, stay secure, and enjoy the treats of automation with Automox Worklets.
