n-able.com
In this release roundup, Jason Murphy, UEM Head Nerd at N‑able, walks through what is new in N‑central™ 2026.2 and how these updates help IT teams work smarter, respond faster, and strengthen security without adding complexity.
This release focuses on meaningful improvements across AI‑assisted operations, filtering accuracy, and security visibility, all designed to reduce manual effort and improve confidence for IT teams.
· N-zo
Meet N-zo, the new embedded AI assistant in N‑central. N-zo surfaces insights from across the platform to support faster troubleshooting, executive‑level summaries, and better decision‑making without digging through the UI or APIs. N-zo is opt‑in and role‑based, giving teams control over how AI is used.
· Model context protocol (MCP)
Learn how MCP enables secure, structured access to N‑central and Insight data. Jason explains how MCP works, the difference between read‑only and read‑write servers, and how it can be used for reporting, asset data, and deeper visibility using external tools and scripts.
· Enhanced device filtering
Discover major improvements to filtering, including nested conditions that make it easier to identify installed software versions, target devices more accurately, and build more reliable workflows with less cleanup.
· Security insights and remediation dashboard
See how patch management and vulnerability management now come together in a single actionable view. The new endpoint remediation experience helps teams prioritise critical risks, reduce time from detection to action, and move from raw data to actionable insights.
· Common audit log (preview)
Get an overview of the common audit log, which improves audit visibility, compliance support, and access controls across supported platform actions, all directly within the N‑central UI.
Jason also highlights where to find additional enhancements and bug fixes in the release notes, and explains how this release supports more confident, AI‑assisted IT operations.
