What Vicarius vRx is
Vicarius vRx combines vulnerability management with patch management, patchless protection, and scripting to help teams remediate security findings. It prioritizes vulnerabilities using exploitability and environment context, and supports agent and agentless discovery across endpoints, servers, network devices, IoT, and containers. The platform advertises automated patch deployment across more than 20,000 third-party applications and operating systems. When a patch is unavailable, vShield can provide in-memory protection, including for legacy and end-of-life systems. vScript runs custom, community, and AI-generated scripts in PowerShell, Bash, or Batch on Windows, macOS, and Linux. vRx can ingest findings from connected scanners and EDR platforms, route actions for approval, and recheck fixes after execution. It maps findings to compliance frameworks including HIPAA, PCI DSS, Cyber Essentials, and more than 100 CIS Benchmarks. The paid Basic and Essential plans are listed at $4 a month and $5 a month respectively, billed per asset; a Custom plan has scope-based pricing. A 14-day free trial is listed for the two named plans.
