Vulnerability Remediation Tracking Agent

Every important vulnerability fixed within policy deadlines and verified by rescan

Vulnerability Remediation Tracking Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Vulnerability scans produce thousands of findings, and the important ones get lost or stay open past their deadline. After each scan this agent removes duplicates, matches each finding to an asset and its owner, and ranks it by severity, internet exposure and whether it is known to be exploited. It creates remediation tickets with due dates from your policy. When the next scan runs, it checks whether fixed items are really gone. If a ticket is closed but the finding is still there, it reopens the ticket with the new evidence and a note on the likely reason, such as a pending reboot. You approve risk exceptions and extended deadlines. Edge case: a finding on an asset with no known owner goes to a triage queue instead of being skipped.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

  1. Scheduled scan completes
  2. Import findings and remove duplicates
  3. Match findings to assets and owners
  4. Rank by severity, exposure and known exploitation
  5. Create or update remediation tickets with due dates
  6. Compare the next scan with closed tickets
  7. Is every closed ticket confirmed fixed by the rescan?If not: reopen the ticket with the new scan evidence. Back to step 5.

How it decides

Priority comes from severity, internet exposure and known exploitation. Due dates follow the policy for that priority.

  • Known exploited and internet-facing findings due in 7 days
  • Reopen tickets when the rescan still shows the finding
  • Send unowned assets to a triage queue

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Due dates per priority
  • Scanners and asset sources
  • Rescan schedule
  • Exception approver

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Granting a risk exception
  • Escalating overdue items to executives

Hard limits

  • Never closes a ticket without rescan proof
  • Does not patch systems itself

It stops when

  • Done: all findings ticketed and closed tickets verified
  • Stop: scanner results incomplete

An example run

What happensThe July 1 scan at Summit Freightways found 6,214 findings, 1,108 after duplicates were removed. 14 were known exploited on public servers, so they got 7-day deadlines. On the July 8 rescan, 3 tickets marked fixed still showed the issue. The check failed, and the agent found the patch needed a reboot. It reopened them, and the security manager approved one 5-day exception.
