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.

CANCOM Intelligent Patch Management
Identify vulnerabilities. Prioritise risks. Automate updates.
How well is your infrastructure prepared for the next vulnerability?
Gain visibility and transparency with the CANCOM Inventory Engine.
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. Claude Mythos of Anthropic illustrates just how far this development has already progressed: modern AI models have now reached a level where they can systematically scan even complex software for previously unknown vulnerabilities. At the same time, the number of published CVEs is rising significantly. By 27 September 2026, 71,176 CVEs (+50 per cent year-on-year) had already been published. Currently, 15,000 vulnerabilities are being added each month.
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.
With CANCOM Upgrade AI.
Implement updates automatically
Smart checks and automated rollouts using CANCOM Synaptic – particularly for large-scale infrastructure.
From the vulnerability to the controlled update
Patch management does not begin with the update itself. It is essential to know which assets are in place, which software versions are running, which systems are affected and what dependencies exist. To this end, CANCOM combines five steps into a comprehensive approach. Our CANCOM experts act as the ‘human-in-the-loop’ at critical points.
Transparency
Knowing what’s actually happening on the network
The multi-vendor-compatible 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 issues 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. All of this is collated in the CANCOM Knowledge Base. Suitable upgrade paths can then be derived from this.
Reliable. Hosted in Austria. By CANCOM.
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, configurations, software versions, redundancies, cluster statuses, 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 more quickly, in a more reproducible and auditable manner. This will address vulnerabilities, reduce risks and ensure compliance.
Patch management requires more than just a single tool.
The key lies in the interplay between transparency, analysis, planning, automation and operations.
- End-to-end rather than stand-alone solutions
CANCOM combines Inventory Engine, Data Analytics Platform, Software Upgrade AI and Synaptic into its own solution stack.
- Technology + Expertise
The solution combines automation and AI with CANCOM’s experts and a human-in-the-loop approach.
- Sovereign AI from Austria
The CANCOM Sovereign AI Infrastructure is operated in Austria on its own infrastructure and is designed to handle highly sensitive network, configuration and vulnerability data.
Patch management is becoming a compliance issue
Alongside the technical challenges, the requirements for documentation and traceability are also increasing. CANCOM therefore combines technical updates with transparent, reproducible and auditable processes. The CANCOM Software Patch Service offers end-to-end support.
