vRx
Blocks exploit attempts at runtime to reduce exposure to known software vulnerabilities.
vRx — runtime virtual patching to block exploit attempts without code changes
Known vulnerabilities often cannot be patched straight away due to strict change control, limited maintenance windows or reliance on third‑party and legacy components. That gap leaves applications exposed while teams validate and schedule permanent fixes.
vRx enables teams to apply virtual patches and mitigation rules at runtime to block exploit techniques tied to known vulnerabilities. It reduces immediate exposure across mixed estates and gives operations time to test and deploy proper code updates.
Where vRx is used
Protect legacy or third‑party applications that are difficult to change by deploying virtual rules to stop exploit behaviour tied to a CVE while vendor patches are validated.
Use vRx during vulnerability disclosures or emergency situations to reduce risk across cloud and on‑prem instances, especially where change windows are long or coordination is complex.
Fits within these solutions
Suitable environments
Best suited to organisations with strict change control, regulated sectors and heterogeneous estates where legacy or third‑party components are hard to patch. Works across on‑prem and cloud runtimes.
