Smart scanning that turns insight into action

Vulnerability details view highlighting threat insights, risk score, CVSS rating, and attack vector information to support accurate security assessment.

Always-on protection

Maintain visibility with continuous vulnerability scanning. Our tool runs lightweight scans daily to catch new risks as they appear, keeping you secure without slowing you down.

Focus on what matters

Not all risks are created equal. We help you prioritize by showing severity scores and exploitability data like CVSS and CISA KEV, so you can fix the most critical threats first.

Fix issues in a single workflow

Stop jumping between tools to fix one issue. With built-in vulnerability scanning, you can patch systems and deploy scripts directly from the scan results.

Cover every angle

Secure your entire environment, not just the easy parts. We cover Windows, macOS, Linux, and over 900 third-party applications, giving you comprehensive visibility over every asset you manage.

FAQs

What does the vulnerability scanning tool help detect?

What does the vulnerability scanning tool help detect?

Our vulnerability scanning tool automatically monitors over 900 applications across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints. It identifies outdated software and potential security gaps, providing you with detailed insights such as CVSS scores and CISA KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) indicators. This helps you prioritize high-risk issues effectively.

How often does the vulnerability scanner run?

How often does the vulnerability scanner run?

We believe in continuous visibility. Our scanner runs lightweight checks frequently, often as much as every six hours, to help ensure you always have the most up-to-date view of your security posture. If changes are detected during these scans, the data is uploaded and processed immediately, giving you always-on visibility into your environment without requiring manual intervention.

Does this vulnerability scanner cost extra?

Does this vulnerability scanner cost extra?

No. Unlike many other vendors that charge for add-ons, our vulnerability management tools are built directly into both N‑sight and N‑central. You get enterprise-grade risk detection included in your standard subscription.

How does this differ from a standalone vulnerability management tool?

How does this differ from a standalone vulnerability management tool?

The biggest difference is the integration of detection and remediation. Standalone tools often only alert you to problems, forcing you to switch platforms to fix them. N‑able integrates scanning directly into your UEM solution. This means you can identify a vulnerability and immediately use built-in patch workflows or automation scripts to resolve it from a single dashboard, significantly reducing time-to-remediation.

How does this help with compliance?

How does this help with compliance?

Regulatory standards and cyber-insurance policies increasingly require businesses to maintain up-to-date software inventories and prove they are managing risks. Our tool supports compliance by:

  • Identifying unauthorized or end-of-life software that needs to be removed
  • Providing historical data and reporting on your security posture
  • Demonstrating proactive risk management through continuous scanning and rapid patching

By maintaining a clear view of your assets and their vulnerabilities, you can navigate audits with confidence.
