Episode 73 — Remediation Planning and Verification Loops
Finding vulnerabilities is only half the equation—fixing them effectively is what truly reduces risk. This episode walks through how remediation planning turns scan results into structured action. You’ll learn how to prioritize fixes based on severity, exploitability, and business impact, and how to coordinate between security, IT, and development teams for timely resolution. We explain how tracking systems and workflow automation tools help ensure accountability, and how communication must balance technical precision with executive clarity.
Listeners will then explore verification loops—the process of confirming that fixes worked and didn’t introduce new issues. We cover rescanning, configuration validation, and regression testing as part of a continuous improvement cycle. The episode also discusses metrics such as mean time to remediate (MTTR) and closure rates, which reveal the health of a program over time. By mastering remediation as a repeatable process, not a reaction, you’ll understand one of the exam’s most practical domains: transforming findings into durable progress.
