Action1 Corporation, a provider of cloud-native patch management, remote access and remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform designed for work-from-anywhere organizations, has upgraded its service with AI-based detection of abnormal user behavior and automated blocking of threat actors.
With the upgrade, the company aims to combat the growing threat of scams and cyberattacks in which hackers misuse legitimate tools to deploy ransomware in corporate environments or connect to individuals’ computers to steal money and data.
The Action1 enhancement helps to ensure any attempt at misuse is identified and terminated before cybercriminals accomplish their goals. It scans user activity for suspicious patterns of behavior, automatically suspends potentially malicious accounts and alerts Action1’s dedicated security team to investigate the issue. Consequently, the upgrade assures that Action1 is used only for good reasons. Meanwhile, thousands of IT professionals use the platform to automate OS and third-party patching and endpoint management.
“The accessibility of remote access and remote monitoring tools eliminates the need for malicious actors to invest their own time and effort into developing tools for managing attacks, facilitating cybercrime such as ransomware,” said Mike Walters, VP of Vulnerability and Threat Research at Action1. “We think that vendors should take more action to prevent abuse of their solutions as a part of the common struggle against this threat.”
