The Tenable Patch Management July Release is live
Tenable Patch Management (v10.2.973.9) is now available for both SaaS and On-Premise environments. This release introduces real-time post-deployment rescan automation, broadening enterprise Linux package support, and hardening platform security. Here is a breakdown of key enhancements and updates included in this release. 1. Post-patch Nessus Agent scan triggers What’s new: Patch deployments can now automatically trigger a Nessus Agent scan the moment installation completes. This relies on a localized trigger file managed by the client. Why it matters: You do not have to wait for your next scheduled vulnerability scan window to verify that a patch took effect. The agent initiates a scan immediately, providing prompt confirmation that a CVE is remediated. Use case: Once a patching process completes on a client, the system creates or updates a specific file (default is patch_trigger), which prompts the Nessus Agent to initiate a Nessus agent scan. 2. Expanded fleet coverage and OS support What’s new: Added native support for Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) across supported Linux distributions, including RHEL, CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux. Why this matters: You can patch community-maintained add-on software using standard patching workflows without writing custom repository scripts or manually handling updates. Use case: Admin utilities, extra developer libraries, and secondary tools pulled from EPEL stay updated on the same schedule as core operating system components. 3. Critical security & platform hardening What’s new: Default platform encryption is updated from AES-CBC to AES-GCM. Administrators can also provision additional trusted TLS certificates to clients directly from the management server. Why this matters: AES-CBC without message integrity checks leaves communications open to cipher-mode attacks. Moving to AES-GCM eliminates this vulnerability, while server-side TLS provisioning simplifies client trust updates. Use case: Meet strict enterprise cryptographic auditing requirements while seamlessly rotating endpoint TLS certificates directly from the management console. 4. Performance enhancements and bug fixes Schedule Editor Accuracy: Resolved a defect where setting the "Week of the Month" to 4 would automatically enable the "Last Week of the Month" toggle, preventing unintentional schedule overlaps. Deployment & Delay Logic: Corrected an issue where Delay Deployment routines fired prematurely following a server upgrade outside of defined maintenance windows. Deployment Request Errors: Resolved "Unable to queue deployment request patch" errors causing widespread installation failures. Maintenance Window Integrity: Fixed a defect where legacy Express license attributes persisted post-upgrade, causing unwanted reboots during maintenance hours. Dashboard Acceleration: Updated the underlying database schema to accelerate load times on the Device - CVE Detections dashboard. Integration Reliability: Resolved 502 Bad Gateway errors on the Tenable Vulnerability Management integration page by improving data request handling and session ID generation. Client Queue & Connectivity Fixes: Resolved "Unable to queue deployment request" errors during patch execution, added clearer REST API error messages for permission issues, and resolved Tailscale IP binding issues during client scans Client Installer Authenticity: Resolved an issue where the Windows Client MSI showed an "Unknown Publisher" warning in Microsoft Defender SmartScreen due to an invalid digital signature. Customized Products Bug: Resolved an issue where Duo Authentication for Windows Logon x64 configuration parameters (such as Enable UAC Elevation Protection) were missing in the Customized Products section. Upgrade instructions SaaS / Cloud deployments: No manual action is required. Your product is updated to version v10.2.973.9 automatically. On-premise deployments: Server admins can download the latest installer from the Tenable Downloads Portal.

Tenable Product Update Newsletter — July 2026
Check out our July newsletter to learn about the latest product and research updates, events, and educational content. Plus, this month we’re featuring the launch of the CyberAgents Exchange, powered by Tenable. Keep reading to read more about the new open-source AI exchange! Tenable One - Platform updates Integrate application security data into Tenable One for code-to-runtime security Your codebase is growing faster than your security program, and in the age of AI, developers are introducing security findings at 10 times the rate of their peers. It is critical to see code as part of your entire attack surface. Application security data now integrates directly into Tenable One to further close visibility gaps and ensure secure code development in the AI era. Whether code is human- or machine-written, you can now integrate application security risks, like those from Snyk, Claude Security, or any other application security tool via Tenable One Connectors — directly alongside your existing exposure data. What this means for you: Achieve full code-to-runtime visibility by bringing application security risks together with the rest of your exposure data in one place. Fix code flaws before they become incidents by identifying your most business-critical code flaws and fixing them early in the development lifecycle. Measure organizational exposure and transform technical static code vulnerabilities into clear risk metrics on business resilience. Read the blog post Explore the guided demo Check out Open Connector documentation and Snyk Connector documentation Improved workflow orchestration capabilities in Tenable One Vulnerability Management and Tenable One New enhancements to Tenable's workflow orchestration capabilities are now generally available. This release streamlines remediation workflows and improves operational efficiency with the following key updates: Plugin output in tickets: You can now attach Plugin Output directly to tickets, providing immediate context and critical information while eliminating the need for further navigation. Tenable Hexa AI for ServiceNow: You can now leverage Tenable Hexa AI for ServiceNow incident and initiative creation to match already available Jira functionality. Review the exposure management release notes Review the Tenable Vulnerability Management release notes Tenable unified scoring is now live Tenable has unified its risk prioritization standard, moving the high-fidelity Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) model out of beta to become the sole standard. To sharpen your prioritization, an updated asset classification engine also delivers more accurate Asset Criticality Ratings (ACR) for your assets. Because VPR and ACR feed directly into your Cyber Exposure Score (CES) and Asset Exposure Score (AES), your console will automatically update to reflect a precise understanding of your exposure. These recalculations occur automatically, though completion times depend on the size of your environment. To prevent errors in your saved views, you must manually update any filters or combinations that still use VPR v1. No data migration is required. Visit Tenable Connect for more details Learn more about Tenable One scoring The CyberAgents Exchange, powered by Tenable Tenable launches the industry’s first open-source AI exchange (and we want your agents on it) Security teams are building AI agents in isolation, reinventing the wheel with no neutral place to share what actually works.

The April 2026 release of Tenable Patch Management is officially live. This update focuses on the unpatchables—modern ARM architectures, massive Windows feature updates, and performance-heavy drivers—giving you broader coverage without the operational lag. What’s changing and why it matters: Support for the modern cloud (Linux ARM): The value: Organizations are increasingly adopting ARM-based architectures (like AWS Graviton) for better cost and power efficiency. Tenable Patch Management now provides full patch lifecycle management for ARM-based versions of RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian, and more. Use case: If your DevOps team is scaling web-scale applications on ARM-based cloud instances, you can now include these specialized endpoints in your standard autonomous patch strategies, ensuring they receive the same security rigor as your traditional x86 fleet. Zero-friction windows upgrades: The value: We’ve automated the big ones. Windows 10/11 Feature Updates are notoriously difficult to manage due to their size and complexity. Tenable Patch Management now automates the eligibility checks and phased rollouts of these updates, utilizing peer-to-peer distribution to protect your bandwidth. Use case: A security manager can set a policy to roll out the latest Windows 11 Feature Update in waves, starting with a canary group in IT for validation before moving to broader business units, ensuring a smooth transition without disrupting global operations. Lightweight driver patching: The value: We’ve ditched heavy CAB-based catalogs. Get lightning-fast visibility into Dell, HP, and Lenovo drivers using native OS metadata. Use case: You can now perform frequent driver scans across thousands of remote laptops without worrying about "scan bloat" or slowing down employee machines during peak hours. Expanded Linux coverage & platform speed: The value: Stay current with the latest enterprise environments. We’ve added comprehensive support for Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023), the latest Fedora (42/43) releases, and the newest SUSE and OpenSUSE iterations (including SLES/SLED 15 SP7 & 16). Combined with our migration to Java 25 virtual threads, we’ve slashed the memory footprint for both client and server, making the platform faster and leaner. In addition to all of the new features, we’re also making the following UI enhancements and bug fixes: Patch filter preview: Resolved a bug where multiple filter categories in the Strategy Editor (e.g., Tenable.vpr, risk.cvssscores) failed to return results when using the "Preview Filtered Software" function. Simple preview: Fixed an issue in the Simple Strategy Editor where the "Preview Targeted Patches" button returned empty results for products with a SoftwareProduct parent, including all Windows OS, Linux, and Driver patches. Pre-staging bug: Fixed a critical issue where Windows Update deployments would fail to start if the "pre-staging" option was enabled. Save as API: Resolved a REST API error that occurred when using the "Save As" feature on an existing strategy template. Character limits: Increased the character limit for User Interaction settings text fields (specifically the HTTP POST Message field) to prevent data truncation and database errors. Get the full details This release is available for both Tenable Patch Management SaaS and On-Prem customers.
