Several vendors offer patch management tools that prioritize updates based on vulnerability scanner findings. The closest match if you want to keep your existing scanner is JetPatch. If you want an integrated vulnerability-scanning and patching platform, Qualys and Tenable are also strong options.
Recommended vendors
1. JetPatch
(Best for existing scanners)
Integrates with existing vulnerability scanners, including Rapid7/Nexpose, Tenable/Nessus, and Qualys. It imports identified vulnerabilities, helps prioritize remediation, and creates patching plans.
Best if your scanner is Qualys, or you're open to consolidating tools. Qualys maps detected vulnerabilities to relevant patches and prioritizes remediation using risk, exploitability, threat intelligence, and asset criticality.
Combines vulnerability prioritization with automated patching, correlates vulnerabilities to appropriate patches, and supports remediation policies and service-level agreements.
One question: Which vulnerability scanner are you using today — Tenable/Nessus, Qualys, Rapid7, or something else? I can narrow this down to the patch management products that integrate with your existing scanner, rather than recommending a replacement for it.
Many modern security ecosystems bridge the gap between vulnerability scanning and patch execution. Depending on whether you want an all-in-one native platform (where the scanner and patch tool are built by the same vendor) or an integrated workflow (where your scanner feeds a separate patch management system), several top-tier vendors offer this capability.
These platforms run their own assessment/scanning engines and include dedicated patch management modules that automatically map, prioritize, and deploy fixes based on those exact scan findings.
Qualys VMDR (Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response): Correlates vulnerability data with real-time threat intelligence and maps it directly to Qualys Patch Management . It prioritizes updates using its TruRisk scoring and allows you to deploy patches directly via the Qualys Cloud Agent.
Tenable Patch Management: Integrates natively with Tenable's vulnerability management solutions (Tenable One or Tenable Security Center ). It takes the risk-based vulnerability data and automatically correlates it to the correct patches, allowing you to prioritize and execute remediation from a unified view.
Rapid7 InsightVM: Combines vulnerability data collection with remediation workflows. While it frequently pairs with Rapid7's endpoint management or external orchestration tools, InsightVM builds specific, prioritized remediation "projects" for IT teams sorted by risk score and exploitability.
Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management: If your scanner/endpoint ecosystem leans heavily into Microsoft 365 Defender, it bridges vulnerability insights directly with Microsoft Intune to prioritize and trigger security configuration changes or software updates based on asset risk.
If you already use a specific standalone vulnerability scanner (like Tenable Nessus, Qualys, or OpenVAS) and want to feed those results into a separate patch management tool or IT service management (ITSM) workflow for prioritization:
ServiceNow (Vulnerability Response + Patch Orchestration): Many enterprises ingest scan data from third-party scanners into ServiceNow. Its prioritization engine calculates risk and can automatically generate remediation tasks or trigger change requests in patch deployment tools.
PDQ Connect / PDQ Deploy: Though primarily IT-focused, PDQ allows teams to import/filter software vulnerability data and build collections based on missing application updates, letting you manually or automatically prioritize deployment schedules.
Action1 / Ivanti Endpoint Manager: These traditional patch management and endpoint platforms accept various telemetry feeds or custom vulnerability reports to re-prioritize automated patch rings based on external risk thresholds.
If you let me know which specific vulnerability scanner you are currently using, I can tell you whether it has a direct native patch module or which third-party patch tool integrates best with it.
