NopSec’s Unified VRM (Vulnerability Risk Management) is an innovative vulnerability risk management solution addressing the need for better prioritization and remediation of security vulnerabilities in a single platform.
Traditional solutions prioritize vulnerabilities solely based on CVSS score and asset classification – creating data overload for remediation teams without context.
Unified VRM’s E3 Engine technology delivers a concise list of prioritized vulnerabilities by exposing the systems and applications most likely to be attacked based on external threats, exploits, malware, social media feeds, and the organization’s unique IT environment.

NopSec’s Unified VRM offers an extensive array of task, workflow automation, and governance capabilities to improve remediation, drive security/IT team collaboration, and improve goal setting and management.
Unified VRM makes reporting on current risk posture and incident status easy with rich visualizations and dashboards.
Revolutionizing vulnerability management, it empowers organizations to take a smarter, more targeted approach to proactive remediation—avoiding hacker attacks and costly data breaches.
Organizations are plagued by numerous challenges, and government entities are no different.
In fact, governmental organizations are high-risk verticals that require manifold resources in order to fend of such malicious attacks.

NopSec Unified VRM has the answer.
The three cyber security challenges we solve:
- Information Overload = Very little actionable data to mitigate and remediate risk
- Manual Processes = Causes delay = Increases risk
- Cybersecurity Workforce Shortage = Lack of qualified professionals to manage risk
Three challenges that compound and presents a significant roadblock for organizations.
There’s no problem getting data, in fact there’s too much, but it’s difficult to extract actionable intelligence from it, and those that you can extract, have poor business and threat context, which leads to teams fixing the wrong things.
Moreover, manual processes are still prevalent and adds to the inaccuracy problem — according to research it takes organizations an average of 203 days from discovery to remediation — and this remediation delay creates risk.
There’s also a lack of visibility and metrics when it comes to attack vectors and the effectiveness of countermeasures (and essentially security investments) are unknown.
To make things more challenging, there is a severe talent shortage in the cybersecurity space. There is an expertise and skills gap that does not help alleviate the situation.
How we solve the problem for organizations of all industries and all sizes, including governments:
- Prioritize and contextualize cyber security data for actionable results
- Automate and orchestrate vulnerability risk management for immediate remediation
- Close the skills gap to accommodate workforce (and budgetary) shortage

NopSec Unified VRM
We’ve taken a holistic view of the challenges and solutions that we propose to deliver.
This solution is not just for the engineers or just for the CISOs.
It’s for members of the IT Security team as a whole.
Even though all members of the IT Security team have an organizational-wide common goal of a better cybersecurity posture, in a micro level, they do have different priorities and we want to acknowledge those differences.
In terms of various personas the main value we deliver to customers as you can see, is moving from intelligence to automation.
So for the CISO and Manager personas, we give them a global visibility of their security posture by attack vectors and help them monitor their operational metrics, and for the analyst team, we offer them an automation of their workflow orchestration.
So customers using the product are able to improve security automation embed that in software development life cycle, improve manual workflow, and reduce by up to 90% the excel-driven process, and also significantly reduce false alerts via the data analytics.

NopSec is dedicated to continually extending its ecosystem of technology integration partners to meet changing market demands.
Unlike traditional vulnerability risk management tools that focus heavily on assessment and front-end detection, NopSec Unified VRM takes a new approach.
Whereas traditional tools only offered limited options for prioritization and remediation management, NopSec Unified VRM delivers value-added capabilities for prioritization and remediation.
It significantly differs from competitors in that it offers advanced detection, security controls measurement and validation, prioritization, and remediation management capabilities all in a single platform.
The platform empowers organizations to quickly find the vulnerabilities that present the most risk, focus on top threats, and fix potential exploitations through an integrated remediation workflow orchestration.
Its unique open architecture also allows for integration with web, cloud, and network vulnerability scanners, giving organizations a single view of risk across their entire environment.
- Built on a cloud infrastructure, NopSec Unified VRM can be operational instantly, and the value can be realized immediately.
- Incredibly simple wizards allow organizations to quickly import scan data with just a few clicks.
- Once vulnerability scan data is imported, the NopSec E3 Engine instantly goes to work cleansing the data by removing false positives and other irrelevant information, and assigning a risk score to individual threats to deliver a prioritized list of vulnerabilities.
- Time to results may take a few hours, depending on the amount of data to be analyzed.
- Unified VRM then immediately enriches this data into dashboards and task groups for remediation management.
- This allows Security and IT teams to manage workflow (i.e., assign tickets and tasks), control data access (role-based access control), measure progress (i.e., report on ticket status or aging), validate security controls (ActiveCheck and SafeCheck), and establish risk reduction goals across operational teams.
