The patchless protection component is an incredible technology
The most valuable features of vRx would be virtualized patching and severity prioritization. It provides that single pane of glass for vulnerability discovery, prioritization, and remediation, which leads to efficiency gains in most cases. The user community is very helpful. There are some incredibly talented good guys willing to help other good guys fight against the cybercriminals out there. Some users have posted scripts that will be helpful. Obviously, you would want to vet them, but from what I understand, Vicarius vets any scripts posted into the community. There's added protection, and you feel confident you can utilize what other administrators or security professionals have posted to leverage the scripting engine, which is incredibly powerful. The patchless protection component is an incredible technology that learns the behaviors of an application, detects an anomaly, and isolates that particular application if it misbehaves. It is incredibly powerful because there are many applications out there for which you do not know whether there is a new patch available, or a new binary cannot be deployed because of the environment itself. One feature customers have praised is the ability to stage packages and schedule tasks. Having the vulnerability scanner as part of the platform also provides that confidence because it runs the vulnerability scan and shows that patch has been installed, that vulnerability has been mitigated, etc.
