The platform serves over 500 customers across 50+ countries, protecting 2M+ assets globally.
The platform's key features include automated patch management covering over 2,000 applications and operating systems, a full-fledged scripting engine with pre-built and custom scripts for complex vulnerabilities, and proprietary Patchless Protection (x_protect) that secures vulnerable apps when immediate patching isn't feasible. Additional capabilities include real-time asset visibility, AI-powered contextual risk assessment using xTags and vRx Analysis, vAnalyzer business intelligence reporting, SIEM/SSO/API integrations, and compliance engine for misconfiguration detection.
vRx is designed for IT security teams, CISOs, IT operations managers, MSPs, and security analysts who need to streamline vulnerability management between IT and Security departments.

Frequently asked questions about Vicarius
What is vRx by Vicarius?
vRx is Vicarius's full-stack vulnerability remediation suite that consolidates vulnerability management and offers cutting-edge remediation with patch management, patchless protection, and a scripting engine to safeguard business assets. It automates scanning, prioritization, and remediation across over 2,000 applications and operating systems, covering the entire vulnerability management lifecycle in one platform.
What is x_protect or Patchless Protection?
x_protect or Patchless Protection is Vicarius's proprietary mitigation technique for apps that cannot be patched - either because a patch is not yet available or because the patch would disrupt operations/critical systems. vRx wraps the software's legit executables in memory and limits the access to the memory space of any exposed API identified as sensitive, creating a secure barrier around vulnerable apps while maintaining functionality.
How do you handle vulnerabilities unrelated to patches?
Vicarius handles vulnerabilities unrelated to patches (such as posture, ports, protocols) utilizing x_remediation scripts. Public scripts are uploaded frequently from three sources: vsociety (their social network where researchers and security analysts share new scripts that are verified before publishing), their internal research team, and vuln_GPT (their AI copilot).
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes, Vicarius offers a 2-week free trial after an initial meeting to validate that vRx is a good fit for your needs. You can also request a guided demo to experience the full platform before committing. Feel free to schedule a meeting with their team to get started.
Can we do rollback on patches with vRx?
Yes, the vRx script engine allows customers to run any kind of script for rollback. For example, a Windows restore point task or an uninstallation code to remove software and reinstall the last version from the same window. These actions can be automated through the platform.
Do you provide training and support?
Yes, Vicarius conducts sales and technical trainings and workshops for their customers and partners on a regular training. They also have excellent customer support that is frequently praised by customers.
