Trusting Automated Vulnerability Patching

The Human and Technical Factors behind smarter, safer security.

Automated patching offers faster remediation and reduced risk, but many CISOs and admins hesitate due to fear of downtime, lack of transparency, and rigid internal processes.

This white paper explores the root of that hesitation from psychological biases to operational barriers and how modern tools can rebuild trust in automation.

You’ll discover:

Why most patching fears stems from loss of control, risk aversion, and lack of transparency
How staged rollouts, rollback features, and policy-driven automation reduce risk and increase confidence
What makes automation trustworthy: performance, process clarity, and alignment with business goals
How platforms like Vicarius vRx offer transparency, control, and real-world proof to close the trust gap

Third-party software patching is the most valuable feature.

"We have automated third-party patching on specific software, improving efficiency by 80%. vRx has reduced our patching time, which has improved our operations. It is more robust than other solutions because it offers better third-party remediation."

VP, Managed Technology & Services

Single source of truth, capable of handling any application in our fleet

"vRx gives a single pane of glass to see what patches needed to go out and what sort of vulnerabilities we have on our Windows machines. Our meantime to remediate vulnerabilities has gone down by about 60% to 70%."

IT Manager

60% faster remediation, many hours saved

"Typically, with our previous solution of ManageEngine, it took about three hours to patch Windows Server, and now, that is less than an hour. It means less downtime for the business each month when we do patches."
