About Vicarius
Vicarius sells vRx, a platform for vulnerability remediation. It helps organisations find, prioritise and fix security weaknesses across their IT estate. The platform combines automated patching, a scripting engine and patchless protection. It also uses AI to validate which vulnerabilities attackers can exploit and to cut false positives. The company says its approach closes the loop so that every vulnerability is confirmed, remediated and verified as gone. Vicarius serves manufacturing, finance, government, small business, healthcare and education. It also works with partners and managed service providers who deliver remediation as a managed service. The platform ingests signals from existing tools such as EDR, SIEM, CSPM, CMDB and vulnerability scanners, so customers do not need to replace them. vRx handles third-party applications and can fix misconfigurations and registry issues through scripting. Patchless protection blocks exploit paths when no patch exists.
