Today’s digital transformation is rapidly changing the IT and cybersecurity landscape: Remote work and the increased shift to the cloud has broadened the attack surface, introducing new vulnerabilities as employees connect from everywhere. This situation is compounded by the rise of sophisticated cyber threats, like ransomware and phishing, demanding proactive defensive security measures.
Addressing these challenges, Syxsense Enterprise offers a comprehensive solution engineered to reduce an organization’s attack surface and risk profile.
Syxsense Enterprise is the world’s first cloud-based IT management and cybersecurity solution that combines patch management for operating systems and third-party applications, security vulnerability scanning, and remediation with a powerful no-code automation engine. This combination delivers a complete, unified solution that supports patching, security, and compliance needs efficiently.
What level of visibility do you have into vulnerabilities across your IT environment?
About half of the respondents (49%) have high or complete visibility into vulnerabilities across their IT environment, while the other half (51%) have, at best, only a moderate level of visibility. This is concerning, as lack of visibility can lead to unaddressed vulnerabilities and subsequent breaches

COMPLETE VISIBILITY AND MANAGEMENT OF IT ASSETS
According to a 2023 Cybersecurity Insiders vulnerability management survey, 49% of the respondents have high to complete visibility into vulnerabilities across their IT environment, while the other half (51%) have, at best, only a moderate level of visibility. Syxsense Enterprise addresses this challenge by providing complete visibility and management of IT assets regardless of their operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and
Android) or location (roaming, at home, on the network, or in the cloud). This is achieved through a live, two way connection to devices, providing real-time data that enables not just automated remediation but also more accurate compliance reporting.
ROBUST ENDPOINT MANAGEMENT
The platform’s endpoint management capabilities deliver critical intelligence on operating systems, hardware, software inventory, and a complete endpoint timeline. This feature ensures that any missing patches, from the operating system to third-party applications like Adobe, Java, and Chrome, are immediately visible, presenting a clear picture of device changes over time. This allows security and IT operations teams to scan, track, prioritize, and customize security and patching actions, focusing on the most critical patches relative to exposed risk.
With additional features such as pre-built security vulnerability remediations, a policy-based, Zero Trust evaluation engine, and extensive integration capabilities with ITSM tools through its Open API, Syxsense Enterprise addresses the multifaceted challenges posed by current IT and cybersecurity trends. It not only ensures the security of systems but also supports robust audit and compliance initiatives, including compliance proof, ultimately enabling organizations to maintain operational efficiency and security.
UNIFIED SECURITY VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT
Syxsense Enterprise also offers a single console for vulnerability scanning, remediation, and advanced policy automation. Coupled with endpoint management, this unified approach enables teams to work from a singular information source that is fully aware of the environment’s health and each endpoint’s state. Such comprehensive visibility is critical for improving security, making smarter decisions to reduce risk, and maintaining compliance through actionable insights.
Furthermore, the integration of endpoint management and remediation workflows alongside a Zero Trust evaluation engine allows organizations to build trusted profiles for enterprise devices and verify each device is in a trusted state before granting access, ensuring a seamless blend of security and management capabilities.
ENHANCED PRODUCTIVITY WITH NO-CODE AUTOMATION AND ORCHESTRATION
At the core of Syxsense Enterprise is Syxsense Cortex
, a no-code workflow designer that enables operational staff to orchestrate complex IT and security processes without needing specialist scripting skills. Cortex is designed to streamline IT and security operations through automated endpoint and vulnerability management, enabling organizations to concentrate on their core business objectives rather than being bogged down by IT and cybersecurity risks.
KEY CAPABILITIES
Syxsense Enterprise distinguishes itself with an array of innovative features that empower organizations to streamline processes, enhance security, and ensure comprehensive endpoint management:
- Syxsense Cortex Workflow Builder: An intuitive, no-code automation and orchestration builder that simplifies complex IT and security processes with a drag-and-drop interface. Syxsense Enterprise includes an extensive library of pre-built Cortex playbooks, ready to deploy at the push of a button for effective management and monitoring of devices.
- Security Policy Enforcement: Easily implement a Zero Trust approach for continuous evaluation and authentication of both user and device, alongside automatic remediation of noncompliant endpoints to enforce compliance with security policies.
- Vulnerability Scanning and Remediation: Automatically identifies and resolves vulnerabilities upon detection through policies triggered by predefined conditions.
- Vulnerability Database: Features over 3,800 common configuration vulnerability fixes and more than 1,500 security remediation workflows. These are designed to conditionally respond to behavioral and state changes and are available as standalone tasks or as part of automated policies on local systems.
- Unified Secure Endpoint Management with Open API: Cloud-native and OS-agnostic, Syxsense supports cross-platform management (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android), enabling the administration of desktops, laptops, servers, virtual machines, and mobile devices (MDM) from a single console. Syxsense Enterprise includes software distribution, feature updates, configuration management, a network map, and troubleshooting tools like remote control.
- Patch Management and Deployment: Detects OS and third-party patch updates and security configuration issues, prioritizing the management and deployment of updates to devices at critical risk. It keeps systems up to date on releases, prioritizes critical patches, and targets vulnerable devices with accurate detection and rapid deployment.
- Customizable Dashboards: Allows customization and sharing of discoveries and actionable insights with key stakeholders through interactive visualizations of vital security metrics.
- Compliance Reporting: Generates proof of compliance reports for audits by regulatory agencies, covering standards like HIPAA, PCI, and SOX.
KEY BENEFITS
Exploring the benefits of Syxsense Enterprise, we highlight how it enhances security, improves operational efficiency, and drives cost savings for organizations:
- Reduced Risk of Security Breaches: The risk of data breaches and unauthorized access due to exploitation of unpatched vulnerabilities is markedly reduced with Syxsense Enterprise’s comprehensive approach to vulnerability scanning and remediation.
