Patch Management Engine (PME) 2.14.2 is now generally available. This release builds on the security improvements introduced in 2.14.1 and includes fixes that improve patch scanning and installation reliability. No action is required.
What’s New
Continued security improvements
Additional security enhancements have been added to the communication between PME components, building on the protections introduced in 2.14.1.
Backwards compatibility with existing probes: PME automatically selects the correct communication method for each probe version, so no configuration changes are needed.
Improved security: Unauthorised remote connections are blocked, adding an extra layer of protection on top of the existing safeguards.
Improved error handling for Windows Update scans
PME now handles errors from Windows Update components more gracefully, making patch scans more reliable. (PMCM-11405)
Fixed an issue reading Windows feature and package information
Resolved a problem with how PME reads DISM package information, improving accuracy when evaluating Windows components. (PMCM-12010)
Fixed an issue installing Foxit updates
Resolved a problem that could prevent Foxit updates from applying successfully. (PMCM-12039)

Knowledge Base Attachments, Customer Portal & Microsoft 365 Fixes

N-sight Agent v10.15.5 (Release Candidate, RC) improves Veeam backup monitoring, sets smarter default thresholds for Disk Space checks, and expands the Windows services the Agent detects automatically. The new Windows RC Agent is scheduled to roll out to all territories on Thursday 22 October 2026.
Veeam Backup Check support for newer Veeam versions
The Veeam Backup Check now supports newer versions of Veeam Backup & Replication, so backup status in N-sight stays accurate as you move to newer Veeam releases.
Disk Space thresholds that reflect drive size
When the check detection scan adds a Disk Space check automatically, the Agent now sets the threshold using both the size of the drive and how much free space it has.
Previously, the threshold was set to half of the drive’s free space percentage at the time of the scan, whatever the drive size. A 1 TB drive with 80% free got a 40% threshold, so the check started alerting while 400 GB was still free.

Every environment has its own definition of normal. In Q3, Adlumin introduced new detections that learn each customer’s definition of normal, giving partners high-confidence visibility into attacker behavior that hides in everyday activity: trusted tools used in unusual ways, hijacked Microsoft 365 sessions, and brute force attempts measured against each user’s own patterns. Q3 also made Incident Response available to MSPs and extended automated account response to Google Workspace Custom Detections.
