Discovery
A continuous inventory of what is there: machines, servers, applications, and whatever appeared this week without anyone announcing it.
Vulnerability management
Vulnerability management with Vicarius, operated by Lynxsource
Every organization has vulnerabilities; the difference is which ones you fix first and how fast you close the loop. We operate Vicarius to continuously discover the weaknesses across your estate, understand which are genuinely exploitable in your context, and carry them through to remediation — not just to the report.
A list of thousands of CVEs is not a plan. We filter the noise, prioritize by real risk and exposure, and coordinate remediation with your team until the gap is verified as closed. You get less exposed surface, not one more PDF.

The definition
What is managed vulnerability management?
It means Lynxsource discovers, prioritizes, remediates, and verifies the vulnerabilities across your estate for you, instead of handing you a scan for your team to decide what to do with.
Scanning and reducing risk are not the same thing. A scan produces a list — often thousands of lines long — where everything looks equally urgent and nothing tells you what is genuinely exploitable in your environment. That list, on its own, does not lower risk: it documents it.
Management starts where the scan ends. Someone has to separate what an attacker could use tomorrow from what has sat there harmlessly for years, decide the order, agree the maintenance window with whoever runs the system, and come back afterwards to confirm the patch went on and works. That work is the service.
The scope
What does the cycle we run with Vicarius cover?
Asset discovery, assessment of their weaknesses, prioritization by exploitable risk, coordinated remediation, and verification that the gap is closed.
These are not five loose tasks but one cycle that feeds itself: what gets verified at the end informs the next round of discovery. Cut it at any point — discover without prioritizing, prioritize without remediating, remediate without verifying — and the program is back at the start.
Assessment
Which weaknesses each asset carries, with the version and configuration detail needed to decide.
Prioritization
What gets fixed first, based on how exploitable it is in your context and how exposed the asset is, not on its score alone.
Remediation
The patch or configuration change, coordinated with whoever runs the system so the work does not stop.
Verification
Confirmation that the gap is genuinely closed, which is what turns a task into a resolved risk.
Vulnerability management is one layer within a layered defense.
The decision
Why managed rather than with a tool of your own?
Because most vulnerability programs do not die for lack of a tool, they die at prioritization: fixing what matters demands sustained judgment month after month.
The tool is bought and switched on in an afternoon. What you cannot buy is the repeated decision: look at this week’s list, tell the urgent from the noisy, negotiate the maintenance window with the department that does not want to stop, and look again next week. That is where the program goes quiet.
As a managed service that work has an owner. We bring the judgment built from seeing the same kind of exposure across many organizations, the consistency to keep the cycle running even when your team has another emergency, and the responsibility to close. Your people stay on their own work, which is keeping the business running.
The operation
How does Lynxsource run your program with Vicarius?
We discover continuously, prioritize by real exploitability, coordinate remediation with your team, and verify the closure before calling a vulnerability resolved.
Discovery is not a quarterly event: it runs continuously, so a server brought up on Tuesday or an application that shipped a new version enters the inventory without anyone having to remember to add it. That inventory is what gets assessed for weaknesses, and where.
Then comes the part that decides the outcome. We prioritize by what an attacker could actually use in your context and how exposed the asset is, not by the catalog score alone; we agree with your team how and when it gets remediated; and we come back to check. A vulnerability is not marked resolved because a patch was applied, but because verification confirms it.
The coverage
Which countries does Lynxsource operate in?
With in-house teams in Ecuador, Colombia, and Bolivia, and also in the United States and Canada.
In-house means the analysts, the automation, and the operations center belong to Lynxsource. In a reseller model your provider opens a ticket with another provider and passes the answer along when it arrives; here whoever answers is whoever decides.
The service is the same in all five countries, with the same SOC behind it and the same triage and response figures. What changes is who you have nearby, not the quality of the monitoring.
Questions about this service
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a vulnerability scanner?
The scanner produces the list; we decide the order, coordinate the fix, and verify it is closed. The tool documents risk; the service reduces it.
How do you decide what to fix first?
By exploitable risk and the asset’s real exposure in your environment, not by CVSS score alone. A high-scoring flaw on an isolated system can wait; a medium one on something published to the internet cannot.
Does it interrupt operations?
Discovery is non-intrusive and runs without slowing work down. Remediation is coordinated with whoever runs each system, to pick the window that gets in the way least.
Who applies the patches?
It is set in the service agreement: we can coordinate with your team, who execute, or take on the change ourselves. What does not change is who verifies the closure.
How often do I see results?
The cycle is continuous, with periodic reviews covering what was closed, what is still open and why, and what has newly appeared.
Does it cover cloud and endpoints?
Yes; the scope is the agreed estate, and that includes endpoints, servers, and workloads running in the cloud.
