Cybersecurity teams spend a lot of time reading reports, tracking exposure trends, and responding to never-ending alerts. What they don’t get enough of is hands-on practice in environments that reflect real challenges. This is exactly why we’re launching The Remediation Games, this Capture the Flag program is designed to help security professionals sharpen their skills where it matters most, vulnerability management, patching, and remediation.
Each 90-minute session drops participants into realistic scenarios that mirror the complexity of modern environments. Instead of passively watching demos, players investigate clues, validate findings, and remediate issues step by step. It’s an immersive way to build intuition and confidence while working through practical challenges inside vRx by Vicarius, our remediation-first exposure management platform.
A Skill-Building Experience With Real Rewards
Learning is more motivating when there’s something at stake. Every participant who completes the challenge earns 2 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits, recognized by EC-Council, GIAC, CompTIA, and ISACA. This makes each session a valuable opportunity for professional growth and maintaining industry certifications.
Participants will also receive a certificate of completion and a digital badge they can proudly share across LinkedIn or other social platforms, proof of both skill and dedication to continuous learning.
For those with a competitive streak, each event features a rankings board and prizes for the top three performers. First place wins $250, second place earns $100, and third takes home $50. The challenges are designed to reward analytical thinking, smart prioritization, and fast remediation decision-making.
Why Now: The Industry Is Shifting Toward Remediation
The Remediation Games come at an important moment for the industry. Security teams don’t need more dashboards they need tools that help them reduce risk, not just track it. That’s why we’re proud that:
Vicarius was recognized in the 2025 Gartner Exposure Assessment Platform Magic Quadrant, an acknowledgment of our differentiated remediation-first approach.
IDC also named Vicarius a Major Player, emphasizing the strength of our unified platform for scanning, prioritizing, and fixing exposures across diverse environments.
These recognitions reflect a market that’s moving beyond visibility alone. Modern teams want platforms that can take action. The Remediation Games are built to highlight exactly that, how security teams can reduce exposure windows quickly and safely with the right workflows in place.
What Participants Will Experience
Each session focuses on real-world scenarios that challenge players to think like both attacker and defender. Participants will:
- Interpret exposure data and identify root causes
- Validate vulnerabilities using contextual evidence
- Prioritize risks based on exploitability and asset criticality
- Explore available patch options and alternative mitigations through vRx
- See how automated remediation can reduce manual effort
- Experience the impact of faster response cycles first-hand
The goal is practical skill-building. Players walk away with techniques they can use immediately in their day-to-day work.
Who Should Join
The Remediation Games are designed for security practitioners who want to strengthen their skills in vulnerability management, patch management, and remediation. This includes professionals who work directly with exposures, investigate findings, deploy fixes, or want more confidence in real-world remediation workflows.
Whether you’re early in your career or already deep in the trenches, the challenges give you practical experience you can apply immediately.
Join the Next Session
The Remediation Games will run on a fixed schedule, giving people multiple chances to participate, compete, learn, and earn credits.
If you’re looking for a hands-on way to improve your remediation skills or you just enjoy a good challenge this program is for you.
