Security teams are under relentless pressure to protect ever-expanding IT estates while attackers exploit newly disclosed flaws within hours. This guide explains why the classic scan-and-patch routine no longer works and it arms you with a practical checklist to fix the problem fast.

Inside you will learn:

  • Why legacy vulnerability and patch management leaves months-long exposure gaps attackers exploit every day
  • How the attacker-to-defender speed mismatch happens, and the real metrics that prove it
  • How continuous visibility, risk-based prioritisation, and automated remediation can shrink mean-time-to-remediate by up to 80 percent
  • The Ultimate Checklist: step-by-step actions and KPIs that let you close the remediation gap, track progress, and prove value to executives

Through real-world data points and a ready-to-use checklist, you’ll see how modern teams transform endless vulnerability reports into rapid, measurable risk reduction. Whether you’re overhauling legacy processes, boosting team efficiency, or evaluating new platforms, this guide is your blueprint for faster, smarter, and far safer operations.

All in one platform

We chose Vicarius vRx for efficient third-party software patching, as Microsoft's solutions fall short. Though challenging for servers, it's effective for end-user devices. We value its patching ability but desire a cloud testing environment. We've considered alternatives, but vRx excels in support.

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."

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%."

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."

My favorite feature is Patchless Protection

"With Vicarius' vRx, I've never seen a patch that failed or had to be rolled back. We're saving quite a bit of time. Our clients using vRx haven't had any issues, and they've easily established patching for all their endpoints."

Patchless Protection is an incredible technology!
