Patch is only as strong as what it stands on

Ivanti Neurons for Patch Management is the remediation engine of a complete Autonomous Endpoint Management platform combining endpoint inventory, risk, patch state, and compliance posture in a unified motion. This means fewer tools, fewer coverage gaps, and outcomes that close the loop from detection to resolution

A complete inventory of endpoint estate

Ivanti Neurons for Discovery scans your entire environment and reconciles unmanaged or missing endpoints into a single authoritative System of Record, so every patch decision is backed by a true, current inventory.

Proactively patch against active exploits

The NVD has stopped enriching non-KEV, non-critical CVEs, leaving thousands of vulnerabilities with no CVSS score, no severity context, and no enrichment timeline. Our Vulnerability Risk Rating (VRR) combines threat intelligence, exploit activity, asset criticality, and real-time data to tell you exactly what to patch first.

Achieve faster SLAs with always-on enforcement

Continuous discovery, risk-based prioritisation, and autonomous patching reduce exposure from weeks to hours — with always-on compliance, verification, drift detection, and audit-ready proof.

Each task has an option to configure it.

Closed-loop verification

A closed-loop workflow — discover, prioritise, patch, validate, and remediate — executes at machine speed across OS and third-party apps, eliminating manual handoffs and ticket-driven delays. Ivanti handles patch detection, deployment, workflow alignment, and compliance verification in a single motion delivering board-ready reporting without the tool sprawl.

Improved IT & employee experience

Proactive, automated remediation resolves issues before they reach end users, eliminating the disruptions, slowdowns, and help desk calls.

With Ivanti Neurons continuously monitoring the employee experience (DEX) and handling detection, deployment, and verification autonomously, IT and security teams shift from reactive firefighting to strategic work.

Features and capabilities

Everything you need to go from reactive to autonomous

Autonomous Patch Management brings together endpoint intelligence, risk-based decisions, and self-healing automation so your organisation stays protected, compliant, and productive without the manual effort.

System of Record & continuous discovery

The authoritative data source for your endpoint estate — continuously reconciling managed, unmanaged, and cloud devices into a single record that drives every downstream patch and compliance decision.

Risk-based prioritisation

Ivanti's Vulnerability Risk Rating (VRR) cuts through the noise of thousands of CVEs to surface the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk to your specific environment.

Autonomous patch deployment

Patented Ring Deployment phases rollouts by risk tier and SLA priority, automating delivery across Windows, macOS, Linux, and 1,000-plus third-party applications with built-in rollback protection.

Continuous compliance

Automatically identifies out-of-compliance endpoints and deploys patches out-of-band, continuously reducing risk by eliminating the exposure gaps between scheduled maintenance windows, removing manual intervention, and ensuring your organisation consistently meets its compliance objectives.

Vendor firmware automation (OOB)

Keep BIOS, drivers and firmware current, even when maintenance windows are constrained.

Self-healing bots

Autonomously remediate common device and application issues, from insufficient disc space to app conflicts, before they derail a patch rollout or reach your help desk.

AI-accelerated threat response

Match the pace of AI-driven vulnerability discovery with autonomous remediation that responds to new exploits in hours, not weeks, with human governance maintained wherever your policies require it.

Always-on security posture

When discovery, data authority, and patch execution share a single platform, compliance stops being a snapshot and becomes continuously enforced across your entire estate.

FAQs

What is Ivanti Neurons for Patch Management?

Ivanti Neurons for Patch Management is a cloud-native patch management solution built on the Ivanti Neurons Autonomous Endpoint Management  platform. It combines risk-based vulnerability prioritisation (VRR), automated Neurons Bot workflows, and a unified System of Record to deliver autonomous, risk-ordered patching across Windows, macOS, Linux, and thousands of third-party applications.

How is VRR different from CVSS scoring?

CVSS is a static, generic severity score that ignores your specific environment. Ivanti VRR is a dynamic, real-time risk score combining exploit activity, CISA KEV data, asset criticality, and environment-specific threat intelligence. VRR is entirely independent of the NIST NVD — meaning the April 2026 enrichment pullback has zero impact on your ability to score and prioritise every CVE.

Why does patching need to start with discovery?

On average, 47% of enterprise endpoints are unmanaged or miscategorized at any given time. Patching without a complete inventory means coverage gaps persist indefinitely — and those gaps are precisely where attackers enter. Ivanti Neurons for Discovery closes that gap before a single patch is deployed.

What happened with NIST NVD in April 2026?

NIST updated its NVD enrichment policy to deprioritize CVEs not flagged as KEV or Critical. Thousands of publicly disclosed vulnerabilities now carry no CVSS score, no severity context, and no enrichment timeline. Organisations relying solely on NVD data face a structural blind spot. Ivanti VRR is NVD-independent and completely unaffected by this change.

How does autonomous patching reduce service desk tickets?

By combining Neurons Bots with DEX integration, Ivanti creates a closed loop: A patch is deployed, DEX sensors monitor for experience degradation, and a Post-Patch Survey Bot collects user feedback, all automatically. Any issues trigger a remediation workflow without a human opening a ticket. Organisations using Ivanti Neurons report up to 83% fewer patch-related service desk tickets.
