5 Worklets to Automate Endpoint Patching

Howdy!

It’s that time… At the end of each month, we share with you all the Worklets of the Week we’ve built to help you automate any task, on any endpoint. And now it’s August’s turn. 

The need for efficiency and security in your IT operations is real. And our latest batch of Automox Worklets™ is designed to provide ease, productivity, efficiency, and protection. 

From updating your Windows 10 experience to enhancing the security of your systems, we've got you covered.

Our first Worklet brings you the ability to automate the installation of the Windows 10 22H2 Feature Update on any endpoint. This update comes packed with new features and improvements to enhance your overall Windows 10 experience. Now, you don't have to worry about manually updating each device—our Worklet will handle it for you.

Wondering how this magic happens?

The Windows 10 22H2 Feature Update Worklet kicks in with an automatic scan to determine which of your devices need the Windows 10 22H2 update. Once identified, it rolls out the update seamlessly in the background without disrupting your work. 

Need to control when the update happens? No problem! You can schedule it for off-peak hours to avoid any potential productivity hiccups. Your systems stay updated, secure, and efficient, all while you sit back and focus on what matters most – your work.

With the increase in cyber threats, keeping your software up-to-date is more crucial than ever. Our macOS Chrome Patching Worklet allows for IT admin to ensure that Google Chrome on your macOS endpoints stays updated for improved security, privacy, and performance. It provides native notifications to prompt users to update Chrome and offers deferral options to prevent user disruptions while still maintaining control.

Wondering how this Worklet works? As soon as a new Chrome update is available, it springs into action. First, it initiates a thorough scan to identify macOS devices running outdated Chrome versions. After pinpointing these devices, it sends a native notification to users, urging them to update Chrome.

Security is paramount in our digital age, and our third Worklet helps you mitigate the critical CVE-2023-36910 vulnerability in Microsoft Message Queuing. It checks if the service is enabled and listening on TCP port 1801, creating an inbound firewall block rule to prevent exploitation attacks over the network. 

With this Worklet, you can rest easy knowing your systems are protected.

Our fourth Worklet helps to ensure that systems are correctly configured to mitigate the CVE-2013-3900 vulnerability related to WinVerifyTrust Signature Validation. This Worklet works by identifying whether the WinVerifyTrust Signature Validation service is running on your device. 

If detected, it stops the service, disables it from starting, and creates an inbound firewall block rule to strengthen your system's security. This Worklet is a must-have for anyone looking to bolster their Windows security.

Last but not least, our fifth Worklet allows IT Admin to simplify the installation of Google Chrome on Linux devices. It automates the process, saving you time and effort. No more manual installations—with this Worklet, you'll have Google Chrome running on your Linux devices in no time.

When utilizing the Linux Software - Install Google Chrome Worklet, you're tapping into Automox’s platform which functions as a secure storage hub. It reliably keeps the most recent versions of app installers on hand, ready for simple, rapid deployment. With this Worklet, you'll have Google Chrome up and running on your Linux device faster than you can say "automation".
