What is Automox? #

Automox is a cloud-based patch management platform that automates the scanning, updating, and inventorying of devices. Automox works across Windows, macOS, Linux, and third-party software, including Adobe, Java, Firefox, Chrome, and Windows.

Why Should You Use the Automox Connector? #

The Automox connector provides visibility into the assets and users in your environment. You can use this visibility to:

  • ensure assets are managed per your security policies
  • derive relationships between assets, users, applications, and data

How Does This Connector Work? #

Meridian executes read-only requests to the Automox REST API and ingests only meta-data about Automox devices. Meridian does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
