Unpatched vulnerabilities remain one of the easiest ways for attackers to compromise businesses, and Linux systems are no exception. As threats grow and patching becomes more complex, IT teams need smarter and faster ways to stay ahead. That is why we have enhanced our patch management capabilities with Linux support in N‑central<\/a> and N‑sight<\/a>. This update is another step forward in our ongoing effort to deliver a more unified multi-OS patching experience.<\/p>\n

For many organizations, patching is one of the most effective defenses against cyberattacks, yet it is often one of the hardest processes to manage. According to the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR)<\/a>, vulnerability exploitation accounted for 20% of all data breaches<\/strong> — an increase of 34% from last year. For SMBs and mid-market businesses, the risk is even higher as resources are often stretched thin. Manual patching, especially for Linux environments, can be time-consuming and error-prone, leaving gaps that attackers are quick to exploit.<\/p>\n

With Linux patching built directly into N‑able\u2019s Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)<\/a> solutions, you can:<\/p>\n
