Vulnerability Management
vRx
Vuln remediation with automated patching, patchless protection, and scripting for 10,000+ apps.
vRx Overview
What it does
Vicarius vRx is an autonomous vulnerability remediation platform combining automated patching, patchless protection, and custom scripting across operating systems, applications, and third-party software, supporting over 10,000 applications across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments. The platform replaces reactive vulnerability detection with proactive resolution by automatically discovering installed software, identifying vulnerabilities, and correlating findings with threat intelligence to prioritize remediation based on actual exploitability rather than Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) volume.
How it works
When patches are unavailable or cannot be applied due to compatibility or operational constraints, vRx provides patchless protection through memory-level virtual patching that blocks exploit behaviors without system restarts or application downtime, particularly valuable for zero-day vulnerabilities, legacy systems, and critical production environments. The platform includes a scripting engine with pre-built scripts and custom script capabilities to address complex vulnerabilities requiring specific configurations or registry changes, with automated deployment across thousands of endpoints based on policy rules for risk severity, asset criticality, compliance requirements, and operational windows, while customers report 60-80% improvement in vulnerability management processes including reducing mean time to remediate by 60-70%.
Credentials and traction
Vicarius holds a SOC 2 Type II attestation, achieved without exceptions. vRx was named a Niche Player in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Exposure Assessment Platforms and a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Exposure Management 2025 Vendor Assessment. Named customers include Starbucks, Toyota, Domino's, Samsung, and the NHS.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesCreates ITSM change records (ServiceNow, Jira Service Management), as part of the patch workflow, maintaining audit trail and change management compliance.
Applies OS and application patches to vulnerable systems automatically based on configurable risk thresholds, without requiring per-patch analyst approval.
Validates patch impact in a staging environment or test clone before applying to production, reducing remediation-caused service disruption risk.
Reverts applied patches to the pre-patch system state when post-deployment stability issues are detected.
Cross-references the vulnerability inventory against live threat feeds tracking CVEs under active exploitation in the wild, surfacing vulnerabilities with confirmed attacker activity.
Incorporates asset metadata (network exposure, business criticality, data classification) into vulnerability prioritization so that a critical CVE on an isolated internal test system ranks lower than a medium CVE on an internet-facing payment server.
Scans cloud resource configurations and container image CVEs alongside traditional OS and application vulnerabilities in a unified risk view.
Assigns likelihood-of-exploitation scores using threat intelligence, vulnerability characteristics, and active exploit availability, independent of CVSS, which measures severity rather than exploitability.
Recommends the minimum patch set that eliminates the highest-risk exposure (accounting for shared libraries and patch co-dependencies), rather than presenting a ranked CVE list.
Creates tickets, assigns owners, and tracks remediation progress in ITSM platforms (ServiceNow, Jira), closing the loop between finding and fix rather than producing a static report.
Enforces remediation deadlines by severity, reports on SLA compliance, and escalates overdue findings through configured approval chains.
Aggregates and deduplicates findings from network scanners, endpoint agents, cloud scanners, and third-party tools into one normalized record for cross-estate risk ranking.
Continuously discovers external-facing assets (domains, IPs, cloud services, APIs, certificates) including assets deployed outside the official inventory.
