Automox Inc. closes on $2M for its automated cyber protection

BOULDER — Jay Prassl, chief executive of Boulder-based tech firm Automox Inc., is looking to make cybersecurity less reactive and more proactive, by focusing less on the detection of hacks and more on protecting your system from them.

Prassl said one of the best and simplest ways to do so is through managing and staying up-to-date on patches — software updates that protect from vulnerabilities and bugs.

Despite being simple, many don’t update their patches, and it can be difficult for an information-technology manager to track down who has updated and who hasn’t.
