TERESEC Partners with NinjaOne

TERESEC has partnered with NinjaOne, the endpoint management and automated patching platform, so we can fix the vulnerabilities we find, not just report them. Paired with the vulnerability management we deliver on Rapid7, it gives clients one loop: detect, prioritise, remediate, verify. For Australian businesses, that loop is how you meet the Essential Eight's patching deadlines.

What is NinjaOne?

NinjaOne is a cloud-based endpoint management and remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform, used by IT teams, managed service providers and public-sector organisations. One lightweight agent and one cloud console let you see, secure and maintain every endpoint, on Windows, macOS and Linux, without stitching several point tools together.

Can NinjaOne replace multiple endpoint management tools?

For many small and medium businesses it can replace several, because it brings together functions that are usually spread across separate products:

• Automated patch management: operating system and third-party application patching across Windows, macOS and Linux, on a schedule and at scale.
• Endpoint monitoring and management: real-time device health, configuration and software inventory.
• Remote access and support: secure remote control and remediation without a separate tool.
• Mobile device management (MDM): enrolment and policy enforcement for phones and tablets.
• Backup: endpoint and SaaS data protection.
• Automation and scripting: policy-driven fixes that remove repetitive manual work.

Whether it replaces all of yours depends on what you run today, which is exactly what an assessment maps. For a security programme, the standout capability is patching: reliable, automated, cross-platform patch deployment is one of the hardest operational problems most organisations face, and one of the highest-impact controls to get right.

Why is patching a security control?

Unpatched software remains one of the most common and most exploited weaknesses in real breaches. It is a frontline control, not an IT hygiene footnote.

For Australian organisations this is explicit. Two of the eight strategies in ASD's Essential Eight, patch applications and patch operating systems, are in practice what a platform like NinjaOne is built to execute. Critical vulnerabilities in online services and internet-facing systems already carry a 48-hour deadline at the first maturity level, and each higher level applies short deadlines to more of your software; the full table is in our post on why Rapid7 and Tenable severity scores differ. Meeting those windows is an automation and endpoint management problem, which is where NinjaOne earns its place.

How do Rapid7 and NinjaOne work together?

TERESEC is a Rapid7 PACT Registered Partner. Rapid7 InsightVM detects and prioritises: it continuously discovers assets, assesses exposure and ranks risk, so teams focus on what matters in their environment. Deploying the fix to every endpoint is a separate job, and that is NinjaOne's. Together they close the loop:

• Detect: Rapid7 InsightVM discovers assets and identifies vulnerabilities across the estate.
• Prioritise: risk-based scoring focuses effort on the exposures with real consequences.
• Remediate: NinjaOne deploys the operating system and application patches, automatically and across platforms.
• Verify: Rapid7 re-scans to confirm the exposure is closed, which is the evidence of remediation.

Detection without remediation is a report nobody can act on; remediation without prioritisation is patching blind. Run together, they form a measurable, defensible and repeatable cycle with evidence at each stage, and TERESEC delivers both sides as one engagement.

What does the partnership mean for clients?

Many of our clients work across IT and operational technology (OT), where remediation is never as simple as "apply all patches". Uptime limits, change windows, legacy systems and safety requirements shape what can be patched, when and how. The value is not in owning the tools but in operating them correctly within those limits: scoping the environment, tuning detection to real risk, and building patch workflows that are automated where they can be and controlled where they must be. Rapid7 tells you what to fix and why; NinjaOne fixes it and proves it; TERESEC makes the two work as one programme.
