Action1 is America's #1 fastest-growing founder-led cybersecurity company on the Inc. 5000 for the second consecutive year. Houston, Texas, August 13, 2026 Action1, a leading provider of autonomous endpoint management (AEM) solutions, today announced it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual ranking of the fastest-growing companies in America, landing as the #1 fastest-growing founder-led cybersecurity company for the second consecutive year. The recognition underscores Action1's accelerating year-over-year growth and reflects surging demand for its autonomous approach to endpoint security and patch management, which helps thousands of organizations close security gaps before they can be exploited and lead to breaches. "We started Action1 with a vision of a world where cyberattacks exploiting vulnerabilities are entirely prevented across every device, operating system, and application," said Mike Walters, President and Co-founder of Action1. "Two years running on the Inc. 5000, backed by Action1's 98% customer retention rate, confirm that organizations increasingly rely on us to help get there." The company's 4,512% three-year revenue growth, driven by rising demand and growing customer trust, signals an industry-wide shift: as organizations retire legacy patch tools, Action1's cloud-native, autonomous patch management platform has become a go-to replacement. It gives enterprise IT and security teams full control over security updates across thousands of endpoints from a single console, without manual work, scripts, or on-premises infrastructure. The first 200 endpoints are free with no functional limits, allowing them to validate the solution against their real environment before scaling up. Remediation gets faster, workloads get lighter, and security gaps close before they become risks. This year's Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. These businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs, and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. "Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still," said Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance-it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement." For the full list of 2026 Inc. 5000 honorees, visit: www.inc.com/inc5000.

Action1 has launched Action1 Connector for Jira, integrating its autonomous patch management platform with Atlassian's Jira Cloud. The connector automatically creates and updates Jira issues for vulnerabilities, missing updates, reboot-required endpoints, offline endpoints, and automation failures detected by Action1. The integration eliminates manual ticket creation and enables IT teams to track remediation progress through existing Jira workflows. It supports ongoing synchronisation, routes issues to appropriate Jira projects, and includes links back to Action1. "IT and security teams need a continuous path from endpoint risk detection to vulnerability remediation," said Alex Vovk, CEO and co-founder of Action1. The connector is now available through the Atlassian Marketplace. Action1 was recognised by Inc. 5000 in 2025 as the fastest-growing private software company in America.

Action1 brings autonomous patch management into Jira to close the gap between vulnerability detection and remediation. * By Action1 Corporation * Aug 5, 2026 Updated Aug 5, 2026 * 0 New integration brings Action1 update and vulnerability findings into Jira Cloud, helping IT teams reduce manual effort and track remediation progress more easily through existing workflows HOUSTON, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Action1, a leading provider of autonomous endpoint management (AEM) solutions recently recognized by Inc. 5000 as the fastest-growing private software company in America, today announced the launch of Action1 Connector for Jira, a new integration that makes autonomous patch management and vulnerability remediation transparent and easy to manage in Jira. The connector brings Action1 findings into Jira Cloud, where IT teams can assign responsibility, track progress, and stay aligned on what needs attention. New Action1-Jira integration automates ticket creation for vulnerabilities, missing updates, and failures. For many IT teams, Jira is where operational tasks are routed, prioritized, and tracked. To keep patching and vulnerability remediation transparent across the organization, teams need relevant activities to appear in those Jira workflows using the processes they already have in place. Without that workflow connection, they may need to manually create Jira issues, route tasks to the right projects, and track progress across disconnected systems. Action1 Connector for Jira closes this gap by automatically creating and updating Jira issues for vulnerabilities, missing updates, reboot-required endpoints, offline endpoints, and automation failures identified by Action1. This helps IT teams reduce manual ticket creation, bring relevant remediation details into Jira, and manage responsibility, priority, and progress through the Jira workflows they already use. "IT and security teams need a continuous path from endpoint risk detection to vulnerability remediation," said Alex Vovk, CEO and Co-Founder of Action1. "By bringing autonomous patching and endpoint management into Jira, Action1 is extending endpoint intelligence and remediation context into the enterprise workflows where teams already assign ownership, prioritize work, and drive issues to resolution." The connector supports ongoing synchronization, not just one-time ticket creation. It can create Jira issues, add relevant details and labels, route issues to the appropriate Jira projects, and include links back to Action1. By keeping Jira and Action1 workflows aligned, the connector helps IT teams avoid duplicating Jira issues and track remediation without relying on manual ticket creation or disconnected systems. Reducing Manual Coordination as Endpoint Risk Accelerates As IT environments become more complex, with more devices, distributed endpoints, and applications to manage, attackers are exploiting vulnerabilities faster. IT teams need efficient ways to move from identifying issues to remediating them. Manual ticket creation, routing, and status tracking can slow that process down. Action1 Connector for Jira helps reduce that administrative burden by connecting Action1 findings to the Jira workflows IT teams already use. "Jira has been one of the most requested integrations from Action1 customers and prospects," said Mike Walters, President and Co-Founder of Action1. "The demand reflects a clear enterprise need: organizations want patching and remediation activity to be visible in the systems they already use to assign responsibility, manage priorities, and track progress. This connector is another step in Action1's expansion of autonomous patch management into the broader enterprise technology ecosystem." The Action1 Connector for Jira is now available through the Atlassian Marketplace, making it easy for organizations to integrate Action1 with their existing Jira workflows.
