Agent 2.0, New Linux CVE Data, and the Future of Autonomous Endpoint Management

Episode 13   Published January 28, 2025 18 minute watch

Summary

Automox reworked the agent backend with Fast Agent, which appears as Agent 2.0 in the console once an environment is upgraded. It adds real-time device connectivity status, duplicate command prevention, and a more reliable communication protocol, plus command-history awareness so the agent depends less on the management console. Peter Pflaster and Steph Rizzuto also walk through the new Automox tray, a persistent end user surface that swaps deferrals for a deadline-based model across Windows and Mac. They close on enhanced Linux CVE coverage from Vulncheck, which lets teams prioritize vulnerabilities while the NVD sits more than 30,000 CVEs behind on adding context.
