Stop Choosing Between Simple and Powerful. Get Both with TPM 10.0
On January 22, we are thrilled to unveil Tenable Patch Management (TPM) 10.0. This update is a significant transformation of our patch product, designed to deliver the promise of modern, frictionless, and autonomous patching for everyone.
We are officially retiring the "Express" vs. "Enterprise" distinction. Moving forward, TPM is a Single SKU model. Whether you need high-speed simplicity or deep granular control, you no longer have to choose. Every user now has access to the full power of the Tenable patching engine. TPM 10.0 reduces operational complexity, and focuses on the daily workflow of the administrator.
Highlights of TPM 10.0 (SaaS & On-Premise)
We’re moving away from executive ROI charts to focus on an Administrator-First interface. The new homepage prioritizes "Blind Spots" and "Delta Numbers," giving you an instant view of your unpatched gaps.
- A Simple Setup Wizard: A new 6-step onboarding guide replaces hours of manual setup, covering integration, device verification, and your first patching strategy in minutes.
- "What, When, & How" Strategy Builder Workflow: Build strategies and leverage Deployment Rings (formerly Waves) and automated Transitions (Success, Approval, or Delay) to control exactly how patches roll out.
- The Emergency Kit: A "Global Pause" button, instant rollback, and exception controls are now front-and-center on your dashboard.
- Single-Pane Visibility: The updated Monitoring & Deployments Dashboards offer a clear view of scheduled, in-progress, and finished deployments, allowing you to bypass approvals or skip ahead without menu-hopping.
- RBAC Enhancements (TPM On-Premise): Expanded Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is now available for TPM On-Premise. New built-in security roles allow scoped access for specific locations (e.g., branch offices, testing labs) and read-only access for security audits.
For the Power Users
We haven’t removed the deep customization you love; we’ve just organized it. All advanced features like Intent Schema and Flex Controls have moved to the new Advanced Settings hub. This keeps the main interface clean for daily tasks while ensuring your "under-the-hood" configurations remain just one click away.
