The number of vulnerabilities and security advisories is rising rapidly. At the same time, IT infrastructures are becoming more complex. CANCOM combines asset visibility, intelligent data analysis, AI-supported upgrade planning and automation into a comprehensive approach for faster, controlled and traceable patch management.
Intelligent Patch Management
Identify vulnerabilities. Prioritise risks. Automate updates.
How well is your infrastructure prepared for the next vulnerability?
More vulnerabilities. More updates. Less time to make decisions.
AI is not only transforming the possibilities available to businesses, but also the speed at which vulnerabilities are identified. At the same time, the number of published CVEs is rising significantly. According to the sources cited in the document, 71,176 CVEs had already been published by 27 September 2026.
This changes the crucial question:
Not just: “Are we affected?” But: “How quickly can we update our infrastructure to a secure and up-to-date software version in a controlled manner?”
Identify vulnerabilities more quickly
Identify the affected systems and software versions.
Prioritising risks in a targeted manner
View lifecycle, vulnerability and compliance information together.
Planning upgrades more intelligently
Include dependencies, release notes, advisories and compatibility issues in the planning.
Implement updates automatically
Create repeatable and traceable processes.
From the vulnerability to the controlled update
Patch management does not begin with an update. It is essential to know which assets are in place, which software versions are in use, which systems are affected and what dependencies exist. To this end, CANCOM combines five steps into a comprehensive approach.
Transparency
Knowing what’s actually happening on the network
The CANCOM Inventory Engine provides a comprehensive overview of hardware and software assets, software versions, lifecycle information and vulnerability/PSIRT status.
Analysis
Data becomes priorities
The CANCOM Data Analytics Platform consolidates information and identifies, amongst other things, lifecycle risks, specific vulnerabilities, compliance breaches and the need for upgrades.
AI-assisted planning
Planning upgrade paths more intelligently
The CANCOM Software Upgrade AI correlates, amongst other things, software versions, configurations, release notes, bug databases, security advisories, lifecycle information and known incompatibilities. Suitable upgrade paths can then be derived from this.
Automation
Carry out updates in a controlled and reproducible manner
CANCOM Synaptic supports assessment, automation, updates and upgrades. Pre-checks take into account, for example, redundancies, cluster statuses, version levels, dependencies and downtime risks. Automated post-checks can then be carried out.
Result
A secure and up-to-date software version
The aim: to implement OS updates and patch management in a faster, more reproducible and more auditable manner.
Patch management requires more than just a single tool.
The key lies in the interplay between transparency, analysis, planning, automation and operations.
