Ivanti Security Controls 2026.2

Build Information

These release notes support the General Availability (GA) version of Ivanti Security Controls 2026.2, released in April 2026. The GA build is 9.7.9322.0 and it can be downloaded from the download page.

You can upgrade to this version from Security Controls 2022.2 or later. See the Upgrade Guide for complete details.

IMPORTANT! We recommend you back up your current database before performing any upgrades. If you are using a full edition of SQL Server, use the SQL Server Maintenance Plan Wizard to perform the backup. SQL Server Express users who do not have access to the SQL Server Maintenance Plan Wizard can use the Ivanti Security Controls Database Maintenance tool.

IMPORTANT! If you use distribution servers, you MUST update the Linux engine installer on all distribution servers before creating or updating policies to include Linux patch groups. If this is not done, and a new policy is used with an old engine, scans will not work and the old engine will interpret this policy to deploy all patches and not just the patches that were approved in the patch group.

IMPORTANT! If you use Linux contentless patching with Security Controls 2024.1, some new deployment history items could be lost, but you will see the current status of the advisory on an endpoint. Upgrading to 2024.2 or later will fix this issue.

Installation Notes

System Requirements

The following operating systems are no longer supported for use by the Security Controls console:

Windows Server 2012 family
Windows Server 2012 R2 family

The following operating systems are no longer supported as Windows endpoints:

Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2008 R2

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 is supported only for existing installations. For new installations, Microsoft SQL Server 2014 or later is required.

A new version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 – 2022 is available, so this will likely be identified as missing during the prerequisite check of the installation process.

For a complete list of requirements for the console, your agentless clients and your agent-based clients, see System Requirements in the help.

New Installation vs Upgrade

If you are an existing customer using Security Controls 2022.2 or later, you should upgrade to Security Controls 2026.2 (or 2022.2 if you require a Common Criteria certified version). This will enable you to maintain your current product database and configuration data.

If you are a new Ivanti customer or an Ivanti Application Control customer who is migrating to the Application Control feature in Security Controls, you will be performing a new installation.

Although the upgrade and new installation processes are similar, there are differences. For example, if you upgrade you will not be presented with the opportunity to create a new database or choose how users and services will connect to the database.

Disconnected Networks

If you are installing on a disconnected console machisne, in addition to manually installing any prerequisite software, you must also manually download and install the product core files BEFORE you begin the installation process. For complete information on this process, see the Performing a New Installation topic in the Security Controls help.

For information on how to manually manage your data files in a disconnected environment, see How to Download Content Data Files and Patches Using the Download PowerShell Script on the Ivanti Community.

Enhancements and Improvements

This release contains the following changes:

Microsoft introduced checkpoint patches in May 2025 to deliver smaller, incremental updates that include only code changes since the previous deployment. Ivanti Security Controls marks prerequisite patches, not necessarily latest patch, that are part of a checkpoint chain with a flag icon in the Windows Patches page for applicable Bulletin Title. This is applicable for Agent based Security Controls only. For more information, see Checkpoint Patch Chains.
Security Controls is now available on Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 24.04. For more information, see System Requirements.

Known Issues

None.

Features That Will Be Removed in Future Releases

Ivanti is transitioning to Linux patching with Security Controls from a content‑based model to a contentless approach. By July 31, 2026, content based Linux patching will no longer be supported, and all Linux patching will fully rely on the new contentless technology. For more information refer Migration to Contentless Linux Patching.
The database views are now organized using the Reporting2 namespace. The original Reporting namespace will be removed in a future release and should only be used by legacy queries. All new queries should be created using the Report2.* views. For more information about report views, see the Generating Custom Reports section in the Security Controls help.
In the REST API, support for servicecredentials requests will end in a future release. This capability is contained in the new shared credentials functionality.
In the REST API, support for the /metadata/vendor Family.products parameter will end in a future release. That capability is being replaced by the Family.productVersions parameter.
