Traditional patch management tools like SCCM and WSUS are struggling to keep up as remote and hybrid workforces become the norm, with WSUS now officially deprecated. These legacy systems depend on stable corporate network connections, making it harder to patch devices outside the office, thus increasing the risk of security gaps and compliance issues.
Cloud-native patching platforms, such as Action1, offer direct internet-based updates, ensuring effective patch deployment to devices regardless of location. This supports improved compliance, security, and operational efficiency for Managed Service Providers and organisations with remote teams, marking a decisive shift from labour-intensive legacy processes. For businesses reliant on SCCM or WSUS, migrating to cloud-native patching solutions is now critical for risk mitigation and ongoing IT management.
