Remediation Management
Nanitor’s remediation management features help you organize your team to tackle the security issues flagged by the system. Organize your most important issues and affected assets into projects, assign a team member and a due date, and track incremental progress as your security is tightened.
Key benefits
01
Organize the remediation of issues
After security issues have been identified, Nanitor helps you break down remediation tasks into manageable projects, with each project either organization-wide or limited in scope to a particular set of assets, and provides the details required to resolve each issue.
02
Assign and schedule
Each project is assigned to a single team member who is responsible for that project. Projects can be given a due date or prepared in advance before work is started on them, keeping the team on track.
03
Track progress on security tightening
Projects have a ‘progress bar’ that advances with each time an issue is resolved on a given asset, providing an easy overview of how projects are progressing as you improve your security posture.
04
Automatic resolution detection
Nanitor automatically discovers when an issue has been resolved. No need to manually check off tasks and then bother QA to verify - when the issue is fixed, Nanitor picks it up and advances the project progress. Your team members can focus on just fixing the issues.
It’s not enough to detect the security issues - you have to fix them
Even when you have found security holes in your system, remediating those issues requires the manual intervention of people who understand the needs of the system and the security principles at stake. Problems often languish after detection when team members are overwhelmed and don’t know where to start or who is responsible.
Security requires swift action and organization. Deciding who should act to fix issues and how and keeping track of how the work is progressing is necessary to achieve real results.
Monitor remediation progress
The Nanitor Project Inventory shows the status of a project, the current progress as a percentage of issues resolved on assets within scope, the due date, assignee, creator, and number of affected issues and assets. From there, drill down to see each project’s assigned issues and their status on the individual assets within the project’s scope. Keep firm track of what has been done, what is yet to be done and who is responsible for ongoing progress.
Flexible security remediation projects
When Nanitor has detected and prioritized security issues, you can assign a subset of them to a project. Assign a responsible team member, set a due date, and limit the scope to certain assets if necessary - have your server administrator handle the servers, or employees of certain departments handle that department’s assets.
All your team members have to do is resolve the issues on the assets within the project’s scope, and the project progress will update. If the security team determines that an issue is not a problem right now, exceptions can be added to treat the issue as resolved, either permanently or for a certain amount of time.
