Automox

Automox is a cloud-native IT operations platform built for modern organizations that need to keep endpoints consistently configured, patched, and secured. The company positions its platform as a replacement for legacy, on-premises tools, freeing IT teams from required VPNs and dedicated infrastructure. Its agent-based automation is designed to work around the clock so administrators can focus on higher-value work rather than repetitive maintenance.

At the core of the platform are automated OS and third-party patching, software deployment, and endpoint configuration management. IT teams can filter and report on the vulnerability status of their infrastructure and define policies that enforce security hygiene across Windows, macOS, and Linux devices, whether they are local, remote, or cloud-hosted. This approach is intended to shrink a company’s attack surface and give administrators visibility beyond their own machines.

The company reports that more than 2,500 leading companies and managed service providers worldwide use Automox, including NASA, Yale, Xerox, Allbirds, and UNICEF. Customers span public sector, higher education, enterprise, and managed services. Published customer results illustrate the value proposition: Canadian app developer and operations partner Tekside.io reported reducing software update time by 98 percent, from about six hours to five minutes, and managing more than 200 devices in roughly one hour per week.

Automox was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. It operates as a distributed, remote-first workplace, building teams by talent rather than location. The company says it has earned recognition for SaaS excellence and describes itself as a group of visionaries, builders, and innovators committed to reimagining IT operations.

Automox frames its mission as delivering confidence in IT: multiplying the speed of people and proving outcomes with certainty. Its stated vision reflects a belief that the new way of working demands a new approach to IT operations, free from old-school solutions, required VPNs, and dedicated infrastructure.

The company culture is anchored in four core values: Customer Focused, One Team, Nimble, and Tenacious. Automox says it puts customers first, rallies to a common cause, moves fast and embraces change, and strives for continuous improvement. Teams are empowered to adopt an ownership mindset, make decisions, develop professionally, and grow their careers.

Working at Automox includes a flexible PTO policy, remote work, a work-from-home stipend, company-supported adoption and IVF assistance, paid parental leave, medical and dental options, company HSA contributions, 401(k) matching, and life insurance. Employees connect through new-hire cohorts, company all-hands meetings, virtual coffee stipends, and Slack communities ranging from pet lovers to horror movie buffs. Automox also supports volunteerism and annual charitable contributions in employees’ communities. The company reports that 99 percent of survey respondents said Automox is a great place to work.
