Incident Overview

From May 27 through May 30, 2025, Updox experienced service disruptions due to recurring firewall failures
at one of our data centers. Updox has redundant firewalls to ensure continued operations but both firewalls
experienced failures intermittently. These failures impacted platform availability and caused cascading
effects across multiple services.

How We Responded

Our engineering team worked diligently to identify and resolve the root cause of the disruptions. On May 27,
the earliest signs of the issue emerged when faxing services were disrupted due to network storage problems
triggered by firewall instability.

As the disruptions continued, we identified recurring failures in the firewall hardware at one of our data
centers as the root cause. These failures intermittently interrupted network traffic, impacting both platform
availability and dependent services.
Throughout the incident, our team collaborated closely with the data center to restart the firewalls during
each occurrence. We also made additional adjustments to stabilize the platform and closely monitored
system performance to minimize user impact. To fully resolve the issue, we replaced the failing firewall
hardware with new equipment during a planned maintenance window on May 30 between 10:00 PM and
12:00 AM.

Corrective and Preventative Actions

To ensure these issues do not happen again, we are taking the following steps:

• Firewall Replacement: The faulty firewall hardware was replaced during a planned maintenance
window on May 30, 2025, between 10:00 PM and 12:00 AM. This upgrade restored stable network
performance and resolved the root cause of the disruptions.

• Post-Cutover Monitoring: We are actively monitoring network and system performance metrics
following the firewall replacement to ensure continued stability and responsiveness. During this
monitoring phase, we are partnering with our fax carriers to fine tune our network peering together to
resolve temporary fax delays.

We know that many of you rely on Updox every day to support your operations. We sincerely apologize for this
disruption and are committed to strengthening our systems to prevent it from happening again. Thank you for
your patience and continued trust.
