Patching Alone Can't Keep Pace with Mythos. These 6 Nexthink Library Packs Can.

1. Getting started: Landscape status Library pack

Best for: Real-time, fleet-wide visibility into where you are exposed

You cannot remediate what you cannot see, and a vulnerability that is invisible on Monday is an incident on Tuesday. The Getting started: Landscape status pack gives IT an at-a-glance view of device and application stability, connectivity and performance, boot and login health, and compliance across the estate.

In a Mythos-driven environment, this is the baseline that replaces the spreadsheet. Instead of stitching together Intune, SCCM, monitoring tools, and regional exports to answer a single exposure question, teams see where friction and risk concentrate in one real-time view. That shifts the first hour of any vulnerability response from data gathering to decision making.

Why it matters: It turns fragmented, days-old visibility into a single real-time picture, so teams act on exposure instead of hunting for it.

2. Application vulnerability management Library pack

Best for: Finding vulnerable software by real usage, then driving remediation

This is the pack built for the core Mythos problem: a flood of vulnerable binaries and not enough hours to chase them all. The Application vulnerability management pack lets IT see every endpoint executing a flagged binary, tag products by severity and exploitability, and target only the devices that actually ran the vulnerable code.

Rather than patching every install of an application, teams focus on the devices that represent real exposure. From there, the pack drives remediation directly with employees through campaigns that ask them to update, replace, or remove the application, then routes confirmed cases to remote actions and configuration management for completion.

Why it matters: It moves teams from reactive vulnerability detection to measurable exposure reduction, prioritizing the devices that truly carry risk.

3. Windows and macOS OS compliance Library pack

Best for: Closing the operating system patch gaps Mythos targets

Operating systems were a primary surface in the Mythos findings, and OS drift is one of the fastest ways for a device to become exploitable. The Windows OS compliance pack gives IT a real-time view of OS versions, patch state, supported versus unsupported builds, and devices stuck waiting to reboot, plus remote actions to install missing updates and force update checks. The companion macOS compliance pack does the same across the Mac estate.

Crucially, these packs catch the blind spots that management tools miss. A faulty Intune or SCCM agent can quietly stop a device from receiving critical patches, leaving security teams certain a fleet is covered when it is not. Nexthink validates patch state from the endpoint itself, so a silent agent failure becomes visible before it becomes a breach.

Why it matters: It keeps Windows and macOS current and exposes the patch blind spots other tools report as healthy.

4. Workflow: Chrome update compliance Library pack

Best for: Keeping the browser, your most-used app, current

The browser is the single most-used application in most enterprises and a top target in the Mythos discoveries across web software. The Workflow: Chrome update compliance pack checks whether the running Chrome version matches the latest installed version and automates the update where it is behind.

The workflow is built to respect employee continuity. It prompts users before acting, helps ensure they have the latest security fixes, and removes the manual follow-up that lets browser updates slip for weeks. Given how quickly browser vulnerabilities now move from disclosure to exploitation, automating that last mile closes a gap most teams leave open.

Why it matters: It turns browser patching from a manual chase into a guided, automated workflow on the surface attackers reach first.

5. Driver compliance Library pack

Best for: Firmware, BIOS, and driver gaps, with automated remediation

Low-level components rarely make the patch headlines, yet outdated drivers, firmware, and BIOS create real stability and security exposure. The Driver compliance pack tracks driver, firmware, and BIOS state across Dell, HP, and Lenovo devices, with vendor-specific dashboards that surface pending critical, security, and recommended updates.

It also brings automation into the story. For Dell and HP devices, the automated driver compliance workflow detects pending critical updates and triggers remediation where supported. In a Mythos environment where every layer of the stack is fair game, hardware-layer compliance is no longer optional, and doing it by hand does not scale.

Why it matters: It pairs visibility with automated action at the firmware and driver layer, closing exposure that traditional patch tools overlook.

6. Secure Boot readiness and compliance Library pack

Best for: Protecting boot integrity before deadlines force the issue

Secure Boot ensures only trusted components load at startup, and it is the one Mythos-era exposure that comes with a date attached: Microsoft's 2011 Secure Boot certificates expire in 2026, and devices that do not trust the updated 2023 certificates silently fall out of compliance. The Secure Boot readiness and compliance pack monitors certificate trust state across the fleet, tracks readiness on a dedicated dashboard with clear KPIs, and lets teams filter impacted devices by OS, model, region, or business unit before the deadline.

Why it matters: It gives IT proactive visibility into boot-integrity readiness before a fixed deadline turns into a fleet-wide scramble.

How Nexthink uniquely solves the Mythos problem

• Real-time, not periodic. Nexthink validates patch and compliance state continuously from the endpoint itself, so silent agent failures and drift surface in hours, not at the next scan cycle.
• Impact-based targeting. Instead of treating every install as equal risk, Nexthink shows which devices executed a vulnerable binary, so teams remediate real exposure first and don’t waste effort on the rest.
• Automated and employee-guided remediation. Real-time automated workflows resolve issues at scale, while in-app campaigns bring employees into the fix where a human step is required.
• One platform, every layer. Application, OS, browser, driver, firmware, and boot integrity sit in a single view, rather than stitching together point tools that miss the full picture.

Shrink the window before it closes on you

Mythos did not create your unpatched attack surface. It exposed how much of it you could never see and how little time you now have to act on it. The work ahead is not to find more vulnerabilities. It is to close the distance between discovery and remediation, across every device and every layer of the stack, faster than that distance can be exploited.

With Nexthink, you can stay ahead of the threat, which is the only posture the Mythos era rewards.
