Case Study: Ecobank Group achieves enhanced security and reduced vulnerabilities across 16,000 endpoints with Action1

Ecobank Enhances Security through Automated Third-Party Patching Across 16,000 Endpoints with Action1

Ecobank Group, the leading private pan‑African financial services group operating across 35 countries, faced significant security risk from unpatched third‑party applications across its distributed IT estate of 16,000 endpoints. To reduce exposure, improve risk scoring, and gain centralized control and visibility—while saving time and cost—Ecobank selected Action1 for its third‑party patching and cloud‑native patch management capabilities.

Action1 was deployed to automate third‑party patching (e.g., Chrome, Adobe), detect and bulk‑remove unwanted software, and provide an aggregated dashboard for instant visibility. As a result, Action1 streamlined patching across 16,000 endpoints, reduced vulnerabilities, improved Ecobank’s risk score, enhanced control over geographically dispersed endpoints, and helped mitigate ransomware and other cyber threats.
