Q2 delivered decisive progress on three fronts: expanding threat detection into blind spots, accelerating incident investigation, and removing operational friction for partners. The quarter reflects a shift toward platform-level capabilities that help security teams detect what matters, investigate faster with confidence, and respond at scale.
Continue readingRecent releases deliver a range of updates to the Assets View and Asset Details panel in N-central and N-sight – improving how asset data is filtered, displayed, and acted on, alongside a number of usability and design refinements.
You can now filter assets from within the Assets View using an aggregated filter on the Tags column.
Previously, filtering by tag required remembering and manually typing specific tag names, which didn’t scale for organizations managing hundreds of tags.
Apple released macOS Tahoe 26.6 on July 27, 2026. Since then, MSPs have reported that SentinelOne’s Static AI engine is flagging legitimate macOS system processes — including mds, SystemUIServer, loginwindow, and the App Store — as malware on machines running the new build, causing system instability on affected endpoints.
SentinelOne has confirmed the issue and is working on a multi-stage fix, including a global exclusion of the affected hashes, a Live Security Update, and a permanent fix in an upcoming agent release.
If you manage Macs with SentinelOne: hold off on deploying macOS Tahoe 26.6 until this is resolved. If devices have already updated, see the KB article for the current recommended mitigation.
Updated on 6th Aug : This issue has been addressed in the latest macOS agent, i.e., (26.1 SP1) 26.1.3.8805.
This release includes stability improvements and bug fixes for the Take Control Mac Agent.
Fixes
We are pleased to announce a major expansion of our vulnerability and patch management capabilities across both N-central and N-sight is currently in the process of being rolled out. The rollout will be completed over the next few days.
Vulnerability management now delivers a closed-loop workflow, enabling technicians to identify, prioritize, remediate, and verify vulnerabilities in one place. The release also expands third-party application patching to support hundreds of additional applications and introduces N-zo Patch Expert, joining the Vulnerability Expert to provide AI-guided recommendations for both vulnerability and patch management decisions.
Together, these enhancements help IT teams find and fix risks faster, reducing manual effort and shrinking exposure windows from days to minutes.
N-central and N-sight now include a new, unified third-party application patching engine covering Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. The new patch engine operates alongside our existing Patch Management capabilities, providing an additional option for managing third-party application updates while preserving current patching workflows. Available through both the Patch Management and Vulnerability Management views, it gives technicians greater flexibility in how they identify, prioritize, and remediate third-party software vulnerabilities and updates.
Key capabilities:
The breadth of coverage matters. With over 550 applications managed from day one, spanning productivity tools, browsers, runtimes, development tools, and more, IT Teams can close the majority of third-party exposure across their estate without stitching together separate tooling for each operating system.
Historically, vulnerability detection and patch deployment have lived in separate tools, with manual handoffs and context-switching in between. This release closes that gap: third-party patching is now the first remediation action built natively into Vulnerability Management, completing the remediate step in the closed-loop workflow, identify, prioritize, remediate, and verify. Technicians can now move from a vulnerability finding directly to a patch deployment without leaving the workflow.
Additional remediation actions are already in development for future releases, including:
This release adds the N-zo Patch Expert, joining the Vulnerability Expert to bring both vulnerability and patch expertise together inside the product. Together, they give technicians contextual guidance as they work, removing the guesswork over whether a CVE warrants urgent action or which patches to prioritize this cycle. N-zo surfaces that expertise inline, helping IT teams make faster, better-informed decisions.
This is especially valuable for IT teams managing diverse estates across multiple sites, where the volume and variety of vulnerabilities and patches can make consistent, risk-based prioritization difficult to maintain at scale.
Introduced as part of our new Endpoint Remediation area, the Security Insights Dashboard provides a consolidated, at-a-glance view of your security and patching posture across managed devices.
Rather than switching between separate patch and vulnerability views to understand exposure, technicians now have a single dashboard that surfaces the information that matters most — and gives them direct paths to act on it.
Each widget is actionable. Technicians can move directly from a dashboard insight to the relevant asset or patch view to investigate and remediate without losing context.
This first version of the Security Insights Dashboard is focused primarily on metadata — giving technicians immediate visibility into severity distribution, CVE details, exploitability context, and patch deployment metrics across the estate. A small number of device-level widgets are also included, with Reboot Status providing a view of assets pending restart following patch deployment.
Future enhancements will go significantly deeper. Planned additions include richer asset health indicators, engine health visibility to surface issues with the patching and vulnerability detection pipeline itself, and support for custom and saved views — allowing technicians to tailor the dashboard to their own workflows and the specific needs of individual customers.
We are introducing Patch Policies, bringing policy-driven automation to the patching workflow and giving technicians greater control over when and how patches are deployed across managed devices.
Availability at launch:
Patch Policies allow IT Teams to move away from ad hoc, manual patch decisions and toward a consistent, repeatable approach to patch management, reducing the operational overhead of keeping estates current while maintaining the control needed to manage risk appropriately.
As availability expands across platforms, Patch Policies will become the foundation for scalable, automated patching across the entire managed estate.
Patch management and vulnerability management have traditionally been treated as separate practices. In reality, they are two sides of the same problem: understanding what is exposed across your managed estate and ensuring those exposures are addressed before they are exploited.
This release accelerates that workflow at every stage:
A large number of capabilities are in active development and will be introduced as the vulnerability and patch management experience continues to evolve, some key features are below along with a larger list within the following link: https://documentation.n-able.com/PME/public-preview/endpoint-remediation-preview.html
Before diving in, there are a few prerequisites to be aware of if you are on N-central.
For the full experience — including the Security Insights Dashboard and the updated left-hand navigation under Endpoint Remediation — you will need to be running N-central v26.2 or later. Customers on earlier versions may still have access to Windows third-party application patching and the vulnerability remediation journey, but will not see the updated navigation or the Security Insights Dashboard and will show within the Linux and Apple patches link.
In addition, all N-central customers must meet the Ecoverse prerequisites to access these features. For a full walkthrough of Ecoverse setup, see: Unlocking the Ecoverse: Your Guide to Accessing N-central’s New Ecoverse Features
If you are on N-sight you should be good to go, you should see the new features available from the left hand navigation menus as long as your user permissions are set to allow access to those views.
We’re introducing significant improvements to Automation Manager, making it easier to build, maintain, and modernize automation policies.
This release adds support for PowerShell 7 through a new automation object, while also delivering a much improved script editing experience for Automation Manager users.
These Automation Manager improvements are available across N-able platforms:
Automation Manager now includes a new Run PowerShell 7 Script object, allowing automation policies to execute scripts using PowerShell 7.
This gives partners access to a more modern PowerShell runtime for new automation scenarios, while preserving compatibility with existing automation policies.
