Vulnerability Compensated
Virsec provides focus on Critical and High vulnerabilities and a high percent of them can be compensated by using our unique protection features. This helps mitigating the need to patch these vulnerabilities immediately and gives the customer a reasonable amount of time to analyse and incorporate changes.

Utilizing VSP, these vulnerabilities can be compensated without making any other changes to the workload
