What’s included
Windows 3rd Party Patch Engine
Patch management for Linux and macOS is already available. The new Windows 3rd party patch engine extends that coverage to 340+ managed applications—over 240 more than the existing solution—including Microsoft Office, C++, and other commonly deployed applications.
Continue using current policies and automation for core operations, while leveraging the new engine to:
Note : The new patch engine is designed to complement your current setup. You can extend coverage and validate new workflows without disrupting existing patching operations.
Vulnerability-to-Patch Remediation
Remediate vulnerabilities directly from Vulnerability Management workflows, connecting risk prioritization to patching action in a single experience.
N‑zo Patch Expert
The N‑zo Vulnerability Expert is already available, helping teams identify and prioritize risk across their environment. The N‑zo Patch Expert adds to this by analyzing patching data and guiding remediation using natural language. N‑zo supports data from the new patch management experience across Linux, macOS, and Windows (where the new engine has been enabled), helping teams:
…along with additional queries across devices, clients, and overall environment health.
