Vicarius
Automated runtime virtual patching for software and firmware
Vicarius supplies automated runtime virtual patching that inserts targeted mitigations into binaries and firmware. It is typically deployed where standard patching is impractical: legacy applications, embedded or industrial devices and production systems that cannot afford downtime.
The solution sits alongside vulnerability management and existing security tooling. It provides temporary, runtime-level fixes to reduce exposure while teams work on vendor patches or code changes, and integrates into operational change processes rather than replacing them.
Core Capabilities
Vicarius automatically generates and deploys runtime patches to mitigate known vulnerabilities in binaries and firmware. It is suited to estates with legacy applications, embedded or industrial devices and production systems where conventional patching is impractical, and is used as a temporary mitigation alongside vulnerability management and change controls.
