The Challenge

Modern networks combine a variety of devices from different vendors. The intensity in which security breaches are found requires these vendors to release new software versions frequently, not always after appropriate testing. This puts a heavy burden on the IT teams, who are facing the dilemma between updates vs. productivity, as each upgrade requires time and resources.

The Solution

Vicarius’s Topia learns the weaknesses of all network elements (Computers, Applications, and OS) and classifies every newly released version from manufacturers according to its impact on network elements. A live threat map of the organization’s infrastructure is provided to the IT team in real time.

In case of urgency when a new version can’t be installed, Vicarius can deploy a virtual patching – protective layer which emulates the security features of the new release.
