Vicarius — Vulnerability Remediation & Virtual Patching

Vicarius goes beyond vulnerability scanning — it remediates. Identify, prioritize, and fix vulnerabilities with automated patching and virtual patching that protects systems even when traditional patches aren't available.

Most vulnerability tools stop at identification — they tell you what’s wrong but leave you to fix it. Vicarius closes this gap with automated remediation and virtual patching. When a traditional patch exists, Vicarius can deploy it. When it doesn’t (zero-day vulnerabilities, end-of-life software, systems that can’t be rebooted), virtual patching protects the vulnerable component without changing the underlying code.

Brivy IT deploys Vicarius for clients who need to go beyond awareness and actively reduce risk. We use it alongside ConnectSecure scanning and Horizon3.ai pen testing as part of a complete vulnerability management program.

Core Capabilities

  • Vulnerability Detection — Agentless and agent-based scanning that identifies CVEs, misconfigurations, and software vulnerabilities across your environment.
  • Risk-Based Prioritization — AI-powered scoring that considers exploitability, asset criticality, and threat intelligence to prioritize what to fix first — not just CVSS scores.
  • Automated Patching — Deploy OS and third-party application patches automatically with approval workflows and maintenance windows.
  • Virtual Patching (Patchless Protection) — Protect vulnerable applications at runtime without traditional patches — critical for zero-day vulnerabilities, legacy software, and systems that can’t be rebooted.
  • Exploit Intelligence — Real-time tracking of actively exploited vulnerabilities so you know which threats are being used in the wild right now.
  • Compliance Reporting — Map vulnerability and remediation status to compliance frameworks for audit-ready documentation.
GREAT FIT IF YOU…
  • Need vulnerability remediation, not just scanning
  • Have legacy systems that can't be traditionally patched
  • Want risk-based prioritization beyond CVSS scores
  • Need virtual patching for zero-day protection
NOT THE BEST FIT IF YOU…
  • Only need vulnerability scanning (see ConnectSecure)
  • Looking for endpoint antivirus/EDR (see ThreatDown)
  • Want penetration testing (see Horizon3.ai)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is virtual patching?
Virtual patching protects a vulnerable application at runtime without modifying its code. Instead of updating the software (traditional patch), Vicarius adds a protective layer that blocks exploitation of the specific vulnerability. This is critical when patches aren't available yet (zero-day), the vendor no longer supports the software, or you can't restart the system.
How is Vicarius different from ConnectSecure?
ConnectSecure identifies and tracks vulnerabilities. Vicarius identifies AND remediates them — through automated patching when patches exist, and virtual patching when they don't. Think of ConnectSecure as the diagnostic tool and Vicarius as the treatment.
Can Vicarius protect legacy applications?
Yes. Virtual patching is particularly valuable for legacy and end-of-life software that no longer receives vendor security updates. Vicarius can protect these applications without requiring a software upgrade.
