We’re excited to share that Vicarius has been recognized as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Exposure Management 2025 Vendor Assessment.
This recognition is not only an industry accolade. It's a validation of our vision for the future of cybersecurity. IDC confirms that Vicarius exposure management is addressing what organizations need most: preemptive exposure management, remediation automation, and risk-based prioritization.
Why Exposure Management Matters Now
Cybersecurity has reached a tipping point. Traditional vulnerability management produces alerts, but enterprises need solutions that go further. IDC highlights that the leaders in exposure management are those that can:
- Deliver complete attack surface visibility
- Provide risk-based prioritization instead of static scoring
- Automate actions through remediation automation
- Support a shift toward preemptive exposure management
The IDC MarketScape 2025 confirms that organizations can no longer afford siloed approaches. Exposure management is now a board-level concern, and automated remediation must be built into daily workflows.
Vicarius vRx: A Unified Exposure Management Platform
Vicarius vRx was designed from the ground up to bring together exposure management and vulnerability remediation platforms into a single flow.
IDC recognized several differentiators that make Vicarius exposure management stand out:
- Agent-based and agentless scanning for full attack surface visibility across the organization entire environment
- Proprietary intelligence and analytics that power proactive exposure management decisions
- Third-party exposure data to enhance preemptive exposure management
- Remediation options that go beyond traditional patching, including virtual patching, configuration changes, and scripted mitigations
- Vuln GPT AI generating validated remediation automation playbooks
- Compliance engine with 2,000+ checks for firewalls and password policies and more
This unified design proves that vulnerability management alone is outdated. With Vicarius exposure management, detection, risk-based prioritization, and automated remediation live under one roof.
Strengths Highlighted by IDC
IDC specifically validated our approach to remediation automation that understands business context:
- Applying mitigations when patches are not yet available
- Enabling preemptive exposure management through virtual patching
- Driving cybersecurity remediation while avoiding disruption
They also highlighted the power of our community-driven content stream, which strengthens vulnerability remediation platforms through shared detection and remediation knowledge.
This is proof that what we are building at Vicarius is not just innovative but a testament to our vision of preemptive exposure management.
Why This IDC MarketScape 2025 Recognition Matters
Being named in the IDC MarketScape 2025 is validation that Vicarius exposure management is solving critical industry challenges.
- It shows our platform is a leader in exposure management innovation.
- It demonstrates our ability to deliver attack surface visibility and risk-based prioritization at scale.
- It validates that our remediation automation capabilities make us a true vulnerability remediation platform.
This recognition is not just about today. It’s about how proactive exposure management will shape tomorrow’s security strategies.
Looking Ahead
IDC’s Michelle Abraham summarized the industry shift:
“Proactive exposure management is the future as traditional vulnerability detection transforms into holistic risk management and remediation.”
That’s exactly the future Vicarius is building. With Vicarius’ exposure management, organizations gain the tools to move beyond vulnerability management into intelligent automated remediation.
Our position in the IDC MarketScape 2025 is more than recognition; it's a testament to the platform, the vision, and the community we’ve built.
Preemptive exposure management is no longer optional; it is the foundation of modern security. And Vicarius is proud to lead the way.
