Chief Architect

At Automox we are on a mission to revolutionize how organizations harden and secure every endpoint across their organization. To do this, we’re building a massively scalable, cloud-native solution to protect hundreds of millions of enterprise endpoints globally. As companies face continually growing threats and a rapidly expanding attack surface, understaffed and alert-fatigued organizations need more efficient ways to eliminate their exposure to security vulnerabilities. Automox is a modern cyber hygiene platform that closes the aperture of attack by more than 80% with just half the effort of traditional solutions. Automox enforces OS & third-party patch management, security configurations, and custom scripting across Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single intuitive console.
