Authored by: PlexTrac Author Posted on: July 22, 2025 Welcome to the Dataverse: Deliver Automated Vulnerability Lifecycle Management Welcome to the Dataverse: Deliver Automated Vulnerability Lifecycle Management Organizations today are living in a fragmented reality—trapped in outdated prioritization and remediation workflows.Prioritization and remediation orchestration often relies on spreadsheets and decentralized coordination.Static reports from manual testing. Siloed data isolated within tools like Snyk, Wiz and Tenable. Manual remediation processes. The result? Bottlenecks, blind spots, and a fractured view of risk that keeps teams reactive instead of proactive.It’s time for a new approach. It’s time to step into the Dataverse. Vulnerabilities Assembled. Data Delivered. Automated Orchestration Unleashed. With PlexTrac, findings are consolidated from both automated tools and manual assessments into a single, centralized platform—creating a unified, interactive view of your risk landscape. PlexTrac’s Workflow Automation Engine leverages this centralized data to drive consistent, end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle management, fully automating the coordination via rule-based workflows. Regardless of which assessment or tool the finding originated from, each finding may now flow through a single, standardized workflow that spans across the entire vulnerability lifecycle, accelerating time to remediation. By unifying data and standardizing workflows, PlexTrac provides full visibility into the entire vulnerability lifecycle from discovery to closure.In other words, PlexTrac automates the delivery of pentest and tool findings in an actionable, interactive format, enabling real-time communication of issues as they’re discovered. No more waiting for the final report. No more relying on manual coordination efforts. No more manual handoffs. Automate Workflows Across the Vulnerability LifecycleSecurity teams can now automate tasks to support use cases such as: Automatically create Jira tickets for remediation when new findings are published. Auto-close low-risk (informational) findings to reduce noise. Send real-time alerts via email or webhook when critical findings are discovered. Notify stakeholders when a draft finding is ready for proofreading to support QA workflows. Alert when findings are ready to retest or trigger retest workflows. Auto-assign findings to users based on asset type, team, role, and more. Push updates to an internal client portal or immediately notify clients. Alert stakeholders when a new report is ready. The Bigger Picture: PlexTrac for CTEM™ These features are part of our broader PlexTrac for Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM™) solution. CTEM is a methodical, ongoing process for identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and mitigating security threats and vulnerabilities within an organization’s environment. CTEM’s approach focuses on constant improvement and adaptation to the evolving threat landscape, ensuring that organizations maintain a persistent proactive stance against cyber threats. PlexTrac for CTEM is a powerful expansion of the PlexTrac platform that empowers security teams to move beyond point-in-time assessments and adopt a truly continuous, risk-driven approach. PlexTrac for CTEM centralizes security data, prioritizes vulnerabilities based on business impact, and automates validation and remediation workflows, enabling organizations to streamline operations and stay ahead of the evolving threats. Why It Matters In an era of limited resources and escalating threats, teams need more than static PDFs and manual workflows. They need dynamic, actionable findings delivered instantly to the right people, with a clear remediation path every time. PlexTrac enables enterprise security teams and MSSPs to move faster, fix what matters most, and mature their remediation orchestration—so they’re always one step ahead. The Future Is Automated.

The Great Exposure Management Shift: From Point-in-Time Scans to Continuous Resilience For years, security teams have relied on point-in-time scans and assessments to gauge their organization’s security posture. The results from these efforts, like quarterly vulnerability scans, annual pentests, and compliance audits, have served as the backbone of most vulnerability management programs. But the landscape has changed. Today, assets spin up and disappear in hours, new... READ ARTICLE
