Managing vulnerabilities across diverse IT environments has become a non-negotiable part of modern endpoint management as the number of security threats continues to rise. N-able is addressing this need with the introduction of a built-in Vulnerability Management feature for its Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platforms, N-central RMM and N-sight RMM. The upcoming capability integrates vulnerability discovery, prioritization, and remediation directly within the existing UEM tools, allowing IT teams to manage risk without toggling between platforms.
Security teams today face an unprecedented pace of vulnerabilities. Many of these stem from weaknesses in endpoint operating systems and applications—frequent entry points for attackers. Yet the typical response involves juggling disparate tools for detection, assessment, and remediation.
N-able’s approach eliminates this fragmentation. With Vulnerability Management built into the same system used for endpoint oversight, organizations can reduce friction and close gaps in their security posture more efficiently.
How It Works
The new feature provides continuous visibility into OS and application vulnerabilities across Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. IT teams gain real-time insights into severity scores and CVE data, allowing them to quickly sort and act on critical risks.
This functionality is tightly integrated with patch and software management workflows already in place within N-central and N-sight. By combining identification and remediation under one roof, IT professionals can streamline response times and lower operational overhead.
Driving Efficiency Through Automation
Automation is central to the update. Once vulnerabilities are identified and prioritized, built-in workflows guide the next steps—whether it’s deploying a patch, uninstalling a risky application, or flagging issues for further review.
This not only reduces the time spent on manual processes but also helps ensure consistency and compliance across environments. The tool also supports continuous scanning for newly connected devices and maintains up-to-date software inventories, which further reduces exposure to unmonitored or unmanaged systems.
The rollout of built-in Vulnerability Management marks a significant addition to N-able’s broader cyber resiliency platform. Future updates are expected to include network and cloud vulnerability management, broadening protection beyond endpoints and offering a more comprehensive risk management approach.
