Virsec Systems

Virsec provides a zero-trust platform for workload protection that focuses on runtime security and vulnerability mitigation without requiring traditional patching. The company's approach centers on preventing exploitation of vulnerabilities in real-time rather than managing them through conventional patch cycles. Their platform operates at the workload level, enforcing trust and integrity of running software while providing visibility into the software supply chain. The platform combines several core capabilities: runtime protection that verifies what software runs and who executes it, patchless mitigation that stops both known and unknown vulnerabilities from being exploited, and deep visibility into software supply chain risks. The system employs zero-touch automation for security configuration and operation, along with just-in-time access control with multi-factor authentication for workloads. Virsec targets organizations dealing with legacy systems and end-of-support software, offering compensating controls to extend the operational life of these systems. The platform addresses challenges in healthcare and other sectors where patching delays create exposure windows, operating at millisecond response times to prevent ransomware and zero-day attacks. The company positions its solution as autonomous security that reduces manual intervention while maintaining protection against threats that exploit the gap between vulnerability disclosure and safe patch deployment.
