ATN International Case Study on Patch Management

This case study details the implementation of Automox and Rapid7 by ATN International, a telecommunications company, to enhance its patch management process. Prior to this implementation, ATN faced challenges with slow manual patching and limited visibility, resulting in prolonged exposure to critical vulnerabilities. The transition to Automox allowed ATN to shift from a multi-week patching cadence to a streamlined weekly process, enabling same-day test deployments and rapid rollout across 4,000 endpoints. The integration with Rapid7 provided real-time vulnerability insights, allowing the IT team to prioritize and automate remediation effectively. The case study highlights the significant reduction in patching time from weeks to days, showcasing the effectiveness of automation in improving response to zero-day threats. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of collaboration with the Automox Worklet team in addressing complex issues and maintaining a strong security posture as ATN scales its operations. Overall, the case study illustrates the successful transformation of ATN's patching program.
