In this tutorial, we show you how easy it is to group your assets and utilize the efficiency of vRx's patch management tools.

Auto actions are carefully designed to deliver the most powerful and efficient remediation features to your security teams. Follow along in this segment as we break down four common scenarios you may come across—and how auto actions remove the labor!

vRx’s user management feature enables you to create, organize, and manage teams for more efficiency and stronger security. Invite users, assign permissions, and develop stronger interdepartmental teamwork.

vRx's prediction capacity stems from its ability to reverse engineer binary files and learn all of the software structure's components: executables, libraries, and resources. In this first part series, we take you inside Firefox and explore how vRx works from the molecular level to predict vulnerabilities.

Learn how to deploy vRx in a few simple steps.

vRx's prioritization engine is fueled by the unique and contextual properties inside the organization—how the assets are being used, by whom, and on which computers. Combined with rich data from external sources, vRx assesses the risk level for each application to determine remediation severity. In this second part series, we take you inside Firefox and explore how vRx builds a risk profile to prioritize vulnerabilities.

vRx's in-memory protection is powered by its unique ability to learn each software component (libraries and executables). vRx defends against process memory scraping, process impersonation, and direct API abuse—attacks that attempt to exploit the vulnerable memory space. In this third and final series, we take you inside Firefox and explore how vRx protects against these attacks.

vRx's patch management features are rich, simple, and efficient. Rather than creating a package and script for each patch, security teams can knock out their Patch Tuesday workload in just a few clicks. And because threat analysis is connected to patch management, you can see the risk update immediately.

Rather than reporting your vulnerabilities at one moment in time—and left with a static representation of your risk—vRx utilizes event-driven metrics to provide real-time vulnerability assessments. When software is upgraded or installed, vRx correlates CVE data to the application and OS inventory, reflecting the changing nature of your modern work environment.
