Smarter rollbacks, broader Linux coverage, and uncompromising platform security.

You expect your patching tool to resolve vulnerabilities, not create operational disasters. But when rolling back a patch rips out the entire host application, like Adobe Reader, you are left cleaning up the mess.

We challenge the idea that rollback operations have to be risky. The September release of Tenable Patch Management [v10.2.973.13] is now available, delivering intelligent failsafes, expanded OS support, and hardened infrastructure.

Here is what you get in this release:

Intelligent, execution-time rollbacks: Uninstalling a patch should never compromise the underlying application. For software that notoriously removes the entire product during a rollback, we built execution-time discovery re-evaluation. Your client now actively checks the system state at the exact moment of execution, ensuring your rollback safely removes the patch without destroying the application you need to protect.

Expanded Linux support: Your environment is complex; your patching strategy shouldn't be. You now have complete, native metadata support for Fedora 44 and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. Bring these endpoints into your standard deployment workflows immediately.

Uncompromising platform hardening: A patching engine must be bulletproof. We updated key underlying libraries, including Tomcat, Log4j, and JRE, and fortified the platform itself. We eliminated token reuse in client MSIs, locked down client log directories to prevent unauthorized file access, and resolved root TLS trust issues. We secure our platform so you can secure yours.
