What Is Remediation?

Remediation within cybersecurity is the practice of identifying, analyzing, and repairing vulnerabilities within an organization’s system, network, or applications. The goal of remediation is to mitigate threats and reduce risks by addressing vulnerabilities. Through a proactive security approach, security teams work to remediate threats before active exploitation by malicious actors.

What Role Does Remediation Have With Pentesting?

Remediation is one of the final phases in the security lifecycle. Identifying issues to remediate is the primary purpose of a pentest, red team operation, or vulnerability assessment. Identifying vulnerabilities is important, but fixing them and mitigating the associated risks is critical. Remediation occurs after the testing results are reported, analyzed, and prioritized. Then, security teams and their systems work to remediate the known threats.
