Vicarius vRx
What Vicarius vRx is
Vicarius vRx is a hybrid vulnerability and patch-management platform for security and compliance teams. It combines vulnerability management, automated patch deployment, patchless protection and scripting in one service. Agent-based and agentless discovery covers endpoints, servers, network devices, IoT and containers. Instead of relying only on CVSS scores, vRx considers exploitability and the surrounding environment when prioritizing risks. Its patching capability is advertised for more than 20,000 third-party applications and operating systems. vShield supplies in-memory protection when a patch is unavailable, including for legacy and end-of-life systems. vScript runs custom, community or AI-generated PowerShell, Bash and Batch scripts across Windows, macOS and Linux. Findings can be received from scanners and EDR platforms, routed for approval, and checked again after remediation. Compliance mappings include HIPAA, PCI DSS, Cyber Essentials and more than 100 CIS Benchmarks. Basic costs $4 a month per asset, Essential $5 a month per asset, and Custom pricing is scope-based.
