Virtual Patching:
Real-time protection against vulnerabilities, even before official patches are released
Fix critical security flaws before they are exploited
The window between the discovery of a vulnerability and the deployment of its official patch poses a real risk to business continuity. Blockbit’s Virtual Patching technology—natively embedded in Blockbit NGFW, Blockbit NDR, and Blockbit XDR—provides automated, immediate protection against known exploit attempts, even in environments where timely updates are not feasible.
This feature operates through the IPS modules built into each product, applying specific rules to block malicious traffic associated with known vulnerabilities (CVEs), without impacting the availability or performance of protected assets.
How Virtual Patching Works in Blockbit Products
The IPS engine embedded in each Blockbit platform solution is continuously updated with specific signatures for critical CVEs. When a threat is detected, the solution automatically blocks any exploitation attempts—without the need to immediately apply the official patch.
Key Advantages for Your Operational Security
Reduces the attack exposure window with immediate coverage of critical CVEs.
Eliminates the need for maintenance windows to apply fixes.
Protects endpoints, internal networks, and perimeters in a coordinated manner.
Minimizes manual effort for security and infrastructure teams.
Ensures automated protection based on real-time threat intelligence.
Operates with no downtime or noticeable impact on system performance.
Ideal for critical environments: government, healthcare, telecom, finance, industry, and OT.
Each product operates independently, with protection tailored to its specific use case:
Blockbit NGFW
Protects network edge traffic, blocking exploits and external attacks from the internet in real time.
Blockbit NDR
Monitors internal network activity, detecting anomalies, lateral movement, and the exploitation of critical assets.
Blockbit XDR
Protects servers and endpoints against known vulnerabilities, even when updates haven’t been applied.
