Case Study: First National Bank of America achieves centralized, VPN-free patch management and reduced security risk with Automox

First National Bank of America Centralizes Patch Management

First National Bank, a 300‑employee financial services firm managing about 750 endpoints, faced inconsistent and error-prone patching after using Ivanti and PDQ. Legacy “frankenstein” systems produced false reporting, required manual verification, caused system disruptions, and relied on VPN‑bound agents that lost visibility off-network. The bank selected Automox’s cloud, VPN‑free patch management to solve these challenges.

Automox delivered a cloud-based, VPN‑free platform that restored full device visibility and automated patch rollouts across FNBA’s estate, eliminating manual patch hunting and significantly reducing hours spent on updates. Since deployment Automox has helped FNBA maintain acceptable Rapid7 IVM risk scores, lower security risk, and apply updates without disrupting operations—ensuring devices receive patches whenever they have internet access.
