How Can PlexTrac Help? PlexTrac can ingest scan data from your tooling to identify what assets are affected by this vulnerability. This knowledge will allow you to build actionable recommendations for these findings. Then you can push those findings to your engineering team directly from the platform and track status updates through to remediation — using analytics to track closure rate and then report on the progress from within the product. If you are concerned about third party vendors, you can use the Assessments module to send a quick assessment and track any findings from vendors in a report as well. Why Do I Need PlexTrac Now?
