Remediating Windows vulnerabilities with a single tool

Matt Day Matt Day

Vulnerability Response is now available for Windows. Find, prioritize, and patch in one place, the same way you do for Mac.

Today you likely run one tool to find vulnerabilities and another to patch them, with someone keeping both honest in between. That someone is usually you.

With Vulnerability Management on Windows, that gap closes. Full visibility into software risk and autonomous response to patch what's vulnerable, in the same place you already manage Mac computers.

The remediation gap costs more than it used to

Attacks happen faster. Roughly 30% of vulnerabilities on the CISA KEV list get weaponized within 24 hours of disclosure. Verizon’s most recent Data Breach Investigations Report found vulnerability exploitation now drives 20% of breaches, up 34% year over year.

Every handoff between the time the vulnerability gets found and the time it gets patch is time your fleet stays exposed. Closing that handoff is the point of bringing scanning and patching into the same place.

Iru closes the remediation gap

Vulnerability Management gives you full visibility into software risk with automated response to patch vulnerable software. We've done this for Mac for a while. It's now live for Windows too.

In one console, Iru’s Vulnerability Management and Response finds the vulnerability, tells you what it means for your fleet, and fixes it. Set up the enforcement controls based on severity, and deploy in a few clicks.

  • Severity-based remediation: Set the remediation action per CVE severity: enforce the update immediately, enforce it on a timeframe you choose, or take no action.
  • Non-disruptive patching: Updates install silently when possible. If the app is open at the enforcement deadline, the user gets a countdown to save their work first.
  • Coverage beyond the patch catalog: 200+ of the most common Windows apps patch automatically through Auto Apps. Everything else runs through custom app library items, covering MSI, EXE, or PowerShell-based installs with the same enforcement logic.
  • Full visibility into what's actually vulnerable. Every installed application is inventoried, mapped against known CVEs in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and ranked by severity, with a flag for active exploitation in the wild. Each CVE tracks a status, active, remediated, or risk-accepted, with device-level counts, so you know what has been fixed.

The results show. For Mac, customer accounts running Vulnerability Response remediated 85.4% of critical and high severity vulnerabilities, against 64.8% for accounts without it, and cut median time to remediate from 2.58 days to 1.21 days.

One place, less of your time

Scanning and patching used to live in separate tools. Attackers didn't wait for you to catch up: they got faster at turning vulnerabilities into exploits.

Every step between "we found this" and "this is resolved" is exposure time, and time spent switching tools instead of closing the gap. With Vulnerability Management on Windows, you remediate the same way you already do on Mac, with the same results.

Intune pricing: What your bundled MDM is actually costing you

You didn't specifically choose Intune. It came bundled with your E3 or E5 agreement. It was a free line item sitting next to the productivity suite your org/company actually signed up for. So you started using it, because that's what "free" does: becomes the default before anyone really evaluates it.

PamStealer comes to Intel Macs: Analyzing the x86_64 build of a Rust macOS stealer

In late August 2026, automated telemetry identified an in-the-wild sample of PamStealer , an emerging Rust-based macOS information stealer first documented by Jamf Threat Labs . Prior public analysis observed PamStealer operating exclusively as an Apple Silicon (arm64) payload delivered via trojanized disk images impersonating the Maccy clipboard utility. This analyzed artifact is the Intel (x86_64) architecture slice of a multi-architecture fat binary, confirming that the threat actors have expanded their build pipeline to ensure uniform execution across legacy and modern Apple hardware.
