SanerNow CyberHygiene Platform vs Vicarius vRx comparison

SecPod’s SanerNow CVEM prevents cyberattacks. It is a fully integrated, continuous, & automated platform designed to help enterprise IT Security Teams overcome security risks posed by vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. The solution offers seven modules driven by one agent & can be operationalized through an integrated cloud console.

SanerNow Continuous Vulnerability & Exposure Management (CVEM) platform offers an innovative approach to cyber-attack prevention and attack surface management.

SanerNow, with its CVEM capabilities, offers a new outlook on cybersecurity by evaluating enterprise IT infrastructure from a weakness perspective.

By integrating seven modules in one platform, the solution offers a unified approach to tackle IT infrastructure weaknesses - from scanning & detecting vulnerabilities & misconfigurations, asset exposure management, risk prioritization, patch management, endpoint management, and compliance management.

The seven modules are:

SanerNow AE: Discover and monitor usage of hardware and software assets in your IT network, manage licenses and more, daily.

SanerNow CPAM: Continuous assessment of 70+ anomalies on 2000+ data points of infrastructure/posture to detect outliers, trends, and security control deviations.

SanerNow VM: Detect, assess, and prioritize vulnerabilities on devices using industry’s fastest scanner & world’s largest security intelligence library of 160,000+ checks.

SanerNow CM: Detect and fix misconfigurations to harden systems and comply with regulatory standards or custom policies.

SanerNow RP: Prioritize risk of vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and other weaknesses, remediate effectively.

SanerNow PM: Integrated patch management to automatically deploy patches for 30+ version of Windows, Linux, Mac OSs and 400+ third-party applications.

SanerNow EM: Get complete visibility into your endpoints and use 100+ security controls for software deployment, system tune-up, application & device control, and more.

The platform offers infrastructure inventory visibility, network anomaly normalization, detection, prioritization, remediation & system hardening of endpoints across every infrastructure layer.

It improves risk visibility beyond software vulnerabilities, expanding the scope of vulnerability management by monitoring more than 100 endpoint health controls, deploying/uninstalling software system health monitoring, eliminating rogue processes and applications, identifying malicious connections and devices, applying system-level security controls, system tuning, fix deviations and anomalies and building queries to get instant visibility to security risks.

Vicarius vRx supports managed service providers and partners with compliance packages, vulnerability management, and patching for PCI, HIPAA, and cybersecurity needs, focusing on third-party and OS patching, especially on Microsoft Windows.

Vicarius vRx automates patching, virtualized patching, and severity prioritization through its cloud-based, agent-based approach which enhances consistency and flexibility. It includes patchless protection to block malware in unpatched software and features simplified dashboards for integrated vulnerability discovery and remediation. Users appreciate the user-friendly scripting engine, efficient third-party software patching, and real-time cybersecurity updates. Community support and customizable deployment options further add value. However, users find name changes and login difficulties confusing and report tediousness when configuring multiple reports. Desired improvements include virtual environment for patch testing, enhanced network device vulnerability scans, and better Microsoft Endpoint Manager interactions.
