Action1

Here’s how Day 1 at EDUCAUSE went 👇

We spent the day meeting higher-ed IT teams, running demos, and showing how Action1 can make patching across campus feel a lot less like a scavenger hunt.

There was plenty of patching talk… and one very important ice cream machine drawing. Big congratulations to Mike Alderman, our first winner! 🎉

Day 2 is already underway, and we’re back at 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝟭𝟵𝟰𝟵 with more demos, more conversations, and another ice cream machine up for grabs.

If you’re at EDUCAUSE today, come say hi 👋

What does an ethical hacker see when a CVE is still waiting on a patch?

On October 8, Terry Cutler and Gene Moody will look at the gap between a vulnerability being disclosed and actually getting patched, and how it can turn into a breach.

Terry will show how an attacker sizes up an exposed system and what they can do while the patch is still waiting. Gene will cover the defender's side: where remediation gets stuck and what IT teams can realistically do about it.

When patching means checking multiple environments, chasing updates, and following up on what still hasn’t landed, the workload adds up fast

Tomorrow, we’re showing how Action1 can help simplify that, from finding what’s missing to automating OS and third-party app updates. For MSPs, that means an easier way to stay on top of patching across customer environments without adding more manual work.

And if you’d rather join in French 🇫🇷, we’re running a French-language session tomorrow as well.

If keeping every customer patched means juggling different environments, endless follow-ups, and way too many tabs, come find us at MSP Summit.

See how Action1 helps MSPs automate patching, remediate vulnerabilities, and stay on top of what needs attention across customer environments without adding more manual work.

Then, once we’ve talked patching, we can talk ice cream 🍦
We’re giving away an ice cream maker, with some root b**r float-inspired swag at the booth, plus a little something extra if you tell our team “Patching That Just Works.”

Action1 customers can now choose to keep their Action1 data in the UK, at no additional cost.

🔹 Meet your local data residency and compliance requirements
🔹 Gain control over where your data is store

And the bigger story goes beyond the UK. Action1 is built to rapidly expand its global data center footprint as data residency and regulatory requirements evolve.

UK today. Another region tomorrow.

👉 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝟭? Start with 200 endpoints free and select where you’d like to store your data – North America, Europe, Australia or UK: https://hubs.ly/Q04yflCr0

👉 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝟭 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿? New data residency options are available for you: https://hubs.ly/Q04yflwx0

One patching issue can turn into a whole list of IT work.

Finding the affected endpoints is only the start. Then there are changes to make, software to deploy, failures to fix, and the final check that everything actually worked.

On September 24, we’re solving 6 real IT problems live in Action1 and showing the full process from finding the issue to fixing it and verifying the result.

Cowboy hats, bourbon, Texas BBQ… we may have found a pretty good formula for an Action1 event 🤠

We had the best time in Dallas at Boots, Bourbon & Patching That Works.

Custom hats, bourbon tasting with Lockwood Distilling Co., plenty of BBQ, and some really good conversations. Turns out patching and bourbon can share a room after all. 😄

Thanks to everyone who came out and made the event so much fun.

What happens if your team can’t patch high-risk and critical security updates within the 14-day Cyber Essentials window?

As of April 2026, two security update questions can now automatically fail your Cyber Essentials assessment, which means missing the requirement can put your certification at risk.

Join Sean Carroll and Dru Vadgama to learn what falls under the 14-day rule, where third-party apps, remote endpoints, and approvals can cause delays, and what evidence you need to show the work was completed.
