Mondoo Release Highlights December 2025
It's that time of year when it's more fun to snuggle up with a cup of cocoa by the fireplace instead of your laptop, but despite the shorter month and holiday distractions, our engineers managed to slip in some great new features and fixes before heading out for the holidays. Even as the year winds down, we're still working hard to deliver valuable updates to help you secure and manage your environment. Dive into this month's release notes to see what the team accomplished!
Mondoo Release Highlights November 2025
November has already flown by, and it’s time to take a look at all the enhancements we accomplished. This month we added new Mondoo Security Advisories designed to keep you ahead of emerging threats. We also expanded our vulnerability detection to include more applications and operating systems, as well as guided remediation steps to help you patch quickly. We beefed up our NPM package detection to bolster supply chain security, and added new network security capabilities. Dig in to find out more!
Why Exceptions Management is Key to an Enterprise Vulnerability Program
Security and IT teams deal with an overwhelming ‘sea’ of security alerts every day. Prioritizing issues helps teams focus on the most important issues so these can be addressed first. However, even when vulnerabilities are critical and need to be prioritized, there may still be valid reasons for not remediating them immediately. In these cases, it’s important to be able to set exceptions in your vulnerability management program. This helps teams remain focused on the issues they can actually fix, without getting distracted by the ones they can’t. However, while exceptions are essential, they can also become dangerous loopholes if not managed properly.
Mondoo Release Highlights October 2025
With October in the rearview mirror, we hope your Halloween was filled with more treats than tricks! This month at Mondoo we’ve been hard at work busting more of those tricky vulnerabilities for you. October’s update brings new detections for end-of-life operating systems, ensuring those ghostly legacy assets don’t haunt your security posture. We’ve also brewed up new and enhanced CIS benchmark policies, fresh vulnerability detections and remediations, a new ‘known ransomware use’ risk factor, and other powerful improvements to help you banish risk before it becomes a nightmare. Keep reading, if you dare, to uncover all the chillingly good details of our October release.
Mondoo Release Highlights September 2025
As the colors of fall begin to show and the days start to get shorter, we certainly haven’t been sitting still at Mondoo. This month, we greatly extended our vulnerability detection capabilities, adding support for new operating systems and an impressive list of third-party applications. We also added support for EU and German compliance frameworks Dora and BSI SYS 1.5. On top of that we added experimental MCP security, streamlined the process of listing and filtering findings, and made advisory remediations easier to access. Dig in to find out more!
Mondoo Release Highlights August 2025
Staying ahead of evolving security threats requires both deeper visibility and faster, more effective remediation. This month, we’ve expanded our vulnerability and EOL detections, added more Ansible, Bash, and Terraform remediation snippets, and included the latest CIS benchmarks to strengthen security and compliance. We’ve also added some enhancements to the Mondoo Query Language (MQL) to further simplify the creation of custom policies. These improvements are all about helping your team save time, remediate faster, reduce risk, and stay ahead of attackers. Let’s jump in.
How to Find Vulnerabilities in Hidden Software Packages and Installers
Picture this: Your IT department updated the organization's computer systems last week, patching a vulnerability in one of the applications that is used daily. Your vulnerability scanner, however, is still showing alerts for that same CVE. How is this possible? The answer often lies in the hidden, forgotten, and redundant software packages scattered across your assets - a problem that creates significant, and usually invisible, security risks.
Mondoo Release Highlights July 2025
Even at the height of summer, Mondoo is in full delivery mode. This month we expanded coverage for critical Microsoft apps, simplified filtering on findings, enhanced our guided remediations, and added more exceptions functionality. Dig in to find out more!
Mondoo vs Tenable - Ten Ways to Compare Tenable Alternative
Tenable offers a traditional vulnerability management tool, known for its comprehensive scanning capabilities and extensive vulnerability database. However, it's not necessarily the easiest to use and often leaves users frustrated. Complaints we hear about Tenable is that it's fragmented, too noisy, lacks automation, clunky to deploy, and offers limited shift left capabilities - plus, it's expensive. Mondoo is a Tenable alternative that offers unified vulnerability management for cloud, on-prem, endpoints, and SaaS from a single interface that doesn't just tell you what's wrong, but prioritizes issues based on context and actually helps you fix them.
Mondoo Release Highlights June 2025
It’s been a scorching month of June but that hasn’t stopped the Mondoo engineering team. This month we focused on supporting new operating systems, platforms, and CIS benchmarks.

Mondoo Workspaces: Organize Security Insights by Team, Location, Technology, and Focus
While organizations need centralized security insights to understand what the most critical risks are across their IT infrastructure, it’s also important to organize security findings into separate areas that align with existing workflows and business goals. With Mondoo workspaces, you can create separate views of assets to divide responsibilities, prioritize risks within focus areas, and deliver focused reporting. The ability to slice and dice assets into workspaces allows Mondoo customers to streamline their security efforts and optimize processes. In this blog we explain what Mondoo workspaces are and how they work. We provide three use cases to demonstrate how our customers are benefiting from this feature.

Looking Back on Mondoo's Epic 2023
It’s been a momentous 2023 for us here at Mondoo. To grasp the scale of everything new we’ve shipped, let’s take a walk through a winter wonderland of features and improvements. Because we release a new version of Mondoo every week, we’ve shipped 52 releases this year, including 2 major releases.
Eliminating Mystery from Your Complex Infrastructure
The past decade has witnessed an exponential surge in infrastructure complexity. Far behind us are the days when teams could rely on a simple mental map to navigate their software architecture or draw a server diagram on a single sheet of paper. Instead, seemingly simple application deployments now span multi-region Kubernetes clusters and traverse dozens of different cloud services. This explosion of complexity has strained security and operations teams’ ability to respond to security findings. Without the context our mental infrastructure maps once provided, we can't validate, let alone remediate, security issues. To empower both operations and security teams to secure their environment, Mondoo is launching new capabilities that deliver context to complex environments.
