Action1 Celebrates Cybersecurity Awareness Month by Doubling Endpoint Coverage Globally at No Cost

Company offers expanded protection for paid customers and free tier users at no cost through October, empowering organizations to move beyond awareness into measurable security action

HOUSTON, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Action1, a leading provider of autonomous endpoint management (AEM) solutions, today announced it is doubling its endpoint coverage for all customers and free tier users worldwide through the month of October in honor of Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CAM), providing expanded visibility and protection at no additional cost.

While Cybersecurity Awareness Month has traditionally emphasized education and vigilance, Action1 is raising the bar by transforming awareness into action. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and frequent, the need for timely remediation has never been more urgent.

According to the Action1 2025 Software Vulnerability Ratings Report, 2024 saw a 61% spike in newly discovered vulnerabilities, with exploited vulnerabilities nearly doubling – a 96% increase that highlights how quickly attackers are weaponizing weaknesses. In response to this escalating threat landscape, Action1 is giving IT teams the ability to act immediately. By doubling endpoint coverage throughout October, the company empowers organizations to detect and patch vulnerabilities across twice as many devices at no cost, eliminating budget barriers and helping IT teams get ahead of potential breaches before they happen.

"Awareness is important, but action is what truly secures environments," said Mike Walters, President and Co-founder of Action1. "On average, organizations without patch management face 2,600 unpatched vulnerabilities per 100 endpoints, including 130 exploitable ones, many of them years old. After just four weeks with a solution in place, that number can drop to 1,500 total and only 37 exploitable vulnerabilities. If even half of the world's estimated 5 million smaller organizations adopted this approach during Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we could collectively eliminate nearly 5 billion unpatched vulnerabilities, including half a billion exploitable ones. That's real progress toward a safer digital world."

Smaller and under-resourced organizations are particularly vulnerable to cyber threats due to limited visibility and insufficient patch management tools. Action1's expanded offer helps address this disparity by eliminating common security flaws that leave systems exposed.

"Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and Action1 is proud to support CAM's mission to promote collective resilience across industries. This initiative aligns with the broader goal of making cybersecurity more accessible and actionable for organizations of all sizes – especially as threats continue to escalate," added Walters.
