An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Vicarius offers a continuously running exposure management platform that finds vulnerabilities, prioritizes them for risk, and remediates discovered issues in the software supply chain by deploying automated fixes for known and unknown CVEs. For unpublished issues, their platform can issue temporary containment patches and reproducible exposure intelligence for security teams to act upon.
There are hundreds of code linting and XDR security tools out there scanning our repositories, servers and networks, looking for potential exploits and comparing them to CVE libraries and known attack chain patterns. Now that AI development tools and offensive agents are added to the mix, the rate of change both within a company’s own codebase and third party packages makes running a big-bang weekly or daily scan infeasible, since the weakness of an ephemeral cloud service might only be momentarily perceptible in production.
Vicarius offers its own single pane of glass for analyzing emerging exploits and capturing their definitions, and an execution engine that works with a curated library of thousands of potential actions that can be taken by their system for any given situation, or escalated to human teams with context and documentation using most leading SecOps, ITSM and network security platforms.
The platform’s unique remediation orchestration capability sets it apart. Operators can leverage specialized AI models to reproduce an issue without a CVE, craft a test that proves the exploit’s existence, create a script or patch to fix it, and publish the findings for future resolutions.
Intellyx Hot Take: Preemptive vulnerability requires a bit of a mindshift for SecOps teams, so Vicarius has trained thousands of engineers to walk that first mile by helping them discover and publish their own pre-CVE findings and remediations to their open Vsociety public community.
Intellyx Cold Take: “Remediation” means so many different things to different people – everything from applying a simple update patch to assembling a tiger team to resolve a Sev1 incident, so the word seems to be carrying too much baggage to be meaningful, even though we may not have a better term. As Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride would say: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
