Vulnerability Management view (preview)

The Vulnerability Management view allows you to monitor assets efficiently using filters, searches, and actions. Powered by our new Modern Agent, this view helps identify patterns, trends, and anomalies, uncovering opportunities, risks, and areas for improvement.

You require N-able Login to use the Vulnerability Management view.

You may notice vulnerabilities for an application that you have set Patch Management to auto-approve the patches for. In this scenario it is best to double check 2 things before raising a support case.

  1. Is the application still supported by the vendor?

    2. In the event an application is no longer supported by the vendor, there will be no more available patches for it, which means Patch Management cannot update it.

  2. Is Patch Management configured as you expect it to be?

    3. Assuming the application is still supported by the vendor, Patch Management should be patching as updates become available, assuming your configured Protection Policy is set to do so.

N-able recommends that, wherever possible, the application be uninstalled and an alternative application used in its place.
