Effective patch management depends on more than automation. It requires complete visibility into asset health and lifecycle status. Even the most sophisticated patch workflows fail if the underlying systems are already End-of-Life (EOL) or unsupported. To solve this, Automox integrated Lansweeper’s EOL and CVE intelligence directly into its patching engine. Using Lansweeper as the authoritative source of asset and vulnerability data, Automox can dynamically tag at-risk devices, trigger targeted remediation, and eliminate blind spots across the IT estate. The result: a closed patch management loop that unites discovery, assessment, and action.

The Challenge: Unseen Legacy Risk in the Patch Pipeline

Even the best patch automation fails if the system in question is already out of support. Automox customers needed a better way to detect unpatched legacy applications, especially software nearing End-of-Life (EOL) or unsupported OS versions. Without reliable asset discovery covering the full network, including dormant or low-visibility machines, critical systems were left unprotected, introducing silent security and compliance risks.

The Integration: Tagging & Triggering with Lansweeper Data API

Automox developed a dual-Worklet integration that uses Lansweeper as its source of truth for software lifecycle and vulnerability posture.

  • The “Tag Automox Devices with Lansweeper Data” Worklet uses the Lansweeper Data API to enrich endpoint metadata with discovered software, hardware info, and EOL dates, automatically applying lifecycle risk tags.
  • The “Lansweeper Automated Vulnerability Remediation” Worklet cross-maps Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) data from Lansweeper scans and pushes targeted patching commands via the Automox API.

Together, these Worklets turn inventory + lifecycle insights into automated, prioritized remediation.

The Outcome: 40% Reduction in Unmanaged Risk Surface

This integration gave Automox users a full view of their IT estate, including systems that traditional scan-based tools missed. Organizations report identifying and retiring legacy software up to 6x faster, reducing EOL software exposure by 40% in the first 60 days. Meanwhile, critical vulnerability response times improved as Lansweeper-fed Worklets shrank Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), especially for overlooked apps and unsupported platforms.
