Case Study: Ark achieves faster, simpler patching and compliance with Action1

Ark reduces patching cycles by nearly 90% with Action1

Ark, an education charity operating a network of 39 schools, faced significant challenges in maintaining cybersecurity compliance across its 10,000+ distributed endpoints. Their fragmented tools and manual processes made it difficult to meet strict patching mandates like Cyber Essentials, a time-consuming approach that left their IT infrastructure exposed. They sought a solution to automate patching and gain real-time visibility into their environment.

By implementing the Action1 endpoint security platform, Ark unified its patch management for both operating systems and third-party applications. This provided the automation and single-dashboard visibility they needed. As a result, Action1 helped Ark slash its patching cycles from two months to just one week, simplified compliance reporting, and freed up IT resources, allowing them to ensure safe learning for over 30,000 students.
