Adlumin Q1 Wrap‑Up: Advancing Broader Coverage. Faster Response. Clearer Results
As we kicked off the year, our focus remained consistent: helping security teams move faster and with greater confidence. In Q1, that focus translated into concrete gains in coverage, response speed, and visibility into outcomes inside the tools teams already rely on.
Across the quarter, we expanded real‑world threat coverage, tightening response workflows, reducing manual effort, and improved how teams can see and explain the impact of their security operations across the environments they manage.
The result is a set of improvements designed to support stronger, more efficient security operations without adding complexity.
Continue readingMSP Manager: Integration with Adlumin MDR/XDR
MSP Manager now integrates with Adlumin MDR/XDR to help MSPs align service desk and security operations through a connected ticketing workflow.
This integration allows security‑driven tickets created in Adlumin to flow into MSP Manager, while keeping ticket updates synchronized between both platforms. MSP technicians and SOC teams gain shared visibility into incident progress, reducing manual effort and improving collaboration.
Key benefits
- Connected security and service desk workflows: Tickets created in Adlumin are automatically created in MSP Manager, allowing MSP technicians to manage security incidents directly from their service desk.
- Bi‑directional ticket updates: Once a ticket exists, updates such as status changes, priority updates, comments, and attachments stay synchronized between MSP Manager and Adlumin.
- Reduced manual effort: Automatic synchronization removes the need for manual copying of ticket information between systems.
- Improved SOC and MSP collaboration: SOC analysts and MSP technicians can collaborate using shared ticket context, improving communication and reducing back‑and‑forth.
- Faster and more confident incident response: With better visibility and fewer handoffs, MSPs can respond to security incidents more quickly and with greater confidence.

Detecting PowerShell Abuse That Other Tools Miss (Release Date: March 31)
We’ve introduced an enhancement to PowerShell threat detection that significantly improves visibility into real attacker behavior while continuing to keep alert noise extremely low.
This update uses advanced AI-driven behavioral analysis to evaluate all PowerShell activity in real time, allowing us to detect high‑confidence threats earlier and with greater clarity, without increasing alert volume.

What’s New in Cove 26.3 – Group-Based Data Protection GA
In Cove 26.3, Group-Based Data Protection is now generally available for all customers. This allows users to select Microsoft Entra ID security groups to define how and which groups of Microsoft users are protected in Cove, instead of selecting them one by one. This will help you apply consistent policies across security groups and protect the right user segments without protecting the whole tenant.
Feature releases like Group-Based Data Protection and other enhancements made in Cove 26.3 further our mission to support larger Microsoft tenants.

Vulnerability Management: software-scanner.exe 6.11.2
We’re happy to share software-scanner.exe version 6.11.2 has been released. This release focuses on reliability and quality improvements based on your feedback and what we’ve observed in the field.
Fixes
- Temporary folder cleanup: The scanner creates temp folders under C:\windows\temp named waapi-##########. Earlier versions sometimes left these folders behind. Version 6.11.2 now removes the folders it creates and also cleans up orphaned folders from previous versions.
- Fewer hangs and CPU spikes: In rare cases, earlier versions could become unresponsive and drive up CPU usage (sometimes leaving multiple scanner instances running). This release adds safeguards to reduce hangs and ensures older versions of the scanner are removed properly. If you notice a hung software-scanner.exe process using high CPU, perform a system reboot or kill the software-scanner.exe process to allow the new version to update.
Improvements
- Scan schedule update: The scanner now checks for updates hourly, but only processes/uploads when it detects a change (max 1 upload per 24 hours). If no changes are detected for 7 days, it performs one full upload weekly to keep data fresh. This replaces the fixed 00:00/06:00/12:00/18:00 (agent local time) schedule and helps avoid missed scans/uploads when an agent is offline at those exact times.
- Scan on demand (rolling out): The agent can now accept scan-on-demand requests and complete a full local scan within ~15 minutes. We’ll be enabling the UI experience in Vulnerability Management over the coming weeks; the agent-side capability is included in this release.
Deployment
No action is required for deployment as modern agents will update automatically. To confirm the update, check that 6.11.2 is the only subfolder under \Msp Agent\components\software-scanner.
Thanks for partnering with us and we appreciate your feedback and your continued trust in Vulnerability Management.

N-sight: Microsoft Entra ID support for N-able Login is available now
N-sight now makes it easier for partners to manage access, reduce friction for technicians, and keep user permissions aligned with their identity policies.
With support for Microsoft Entra ID through N-able Login, partners can extend their existing single sign-on and identity management standards to N-sight. This helps ensure the right people have access at the right time, without adding manual overhead, while creating a more consistent sign-in experience across N-sight, other N-able products, and the broader tools partners already rely on.
N-sight supports Microsoft Entra ID as an authentication provider through N-able Login, allowing partners to configure and manage identity access directly within N-sight.
What this enables
- Partners can configure Microsoft Entra ID as an external identity provider for N-able Login directly from within N-sight.
- Users can be automatically provisioned and deprovisioned based on existing Entra ID workflows, helping ensure access stays aligned with internal identity policies.
- Once provisioned via Entra ID, users are created in N-sight and appear in User Management with the role set to Pending Configuration.
- A Superuser or Agent Key user must assign an appropriate N-sight role before access is granted.
- If a provisioned user attempts to sign in without an assigned N-sight role, access is denied, and an authentication error is returned.
- After a valid N-sight role is assigned, the user is redirected to Microsoft Entra ID for authentication and can sign in successfully.
Important to note
- Authentication is handled by Microsoft Entra ID.
- Authorisation and access control remain governed by N-sight roles.
- Agent Key & Resellers users cannot be created or managed through Entra ID !

N-sight: Tactical delighters & Windows RC Agent Release Update
Several targeted updates are rolling out to N-sight in the coming days, focused on day‑to‑day usability for technicians and operational reliability for partners. These include a refreshed Windows System Tray icon, improved Windows performance monitoring defaults, a new Windows RC Agent, and confirmation that Take Control is FIPS 140‑3 compliant.
Improved Windows System Tray icon
Requires Windows RC Agent 10.15.2
Based on partner feedback, the Windows System Tray icon has been updated to improve visibility on newer operating systems, particularly Windows 11, where lighter backgrounds made the previous icon harder to see.
The refreshed icon is designed to be clearly visible in both light and dark mode and is supported across all currently supported Windows operating systems.
Improvements to the Performance Monitoring Checks
Requires Windows 10.15.2, Agent
The new Windows RC Agent updates the default threshold settings for Performance Monitoring Checks to better reflect modern system capacity and performance expectations. The result is fewer unnecessary alerts triggered by low thresholds that no longer align with today’s hardware profiles.
As part of this update:
- The Memory Usage check now defaults the non‑paged memory limit to 2500 MB.
- Average committed bytes now default to 1.5 times physical RAM.
These changes help reduce alert noise while preserving meaningful visibility into system performance.
Take Control FIPS 140-3 Compliance
Take Control is confirmed to be compliant with FIPS 140‑3, supporting partners operating in environments with stricter security and compliance requirements.
