Legit Security has introduced new root cause remediation capabilities, which enable teams to tackle multiple software vulnerabilities with one efficient step. By identifying the choke points where remediation actions can address several issues at once, security teams can expedite risk reduction and lessen the burden on developers.
Lior Barak, Legit Security’s Chief Product Officer, expressed, “Our latest capabilities broaden our customers’ capacity to carry out the quickest and most effective remediation process for critical vulnerabilities. Discovering and resolving software vulnerabilities can be a complex task, given factors such as determining the origin of the vulnerability, assigning ownership, and deciding on the most appropriate remediation action. This much-needed solution provides key stakeholders with the necessary insights to prioritize critical risks, fix them promptly, and remediate them efficiently.”
One of the primary features of the root cause remediation is its ability to pinpoint the actions where a single fix can have the most significant impact by addressing multiple issues simultaneously. Some of the key features and benefits include:
– Remediation impact analysis: Understanding the potential scope of the next fix on remedying multiple risks
– Remediation prioritization and visualization: Gaining in-depth context of the application and vulnerabilities to identify fixes with the highest potential to enhance AppSec posture
– Best fix location: Identifying the root cause of a risk and determining the optimal location for a permanent fix, including assigning ownership
– Bulk remediation playbooks: Utilizing out-of-the-box playbooks to implement the most effective fixes for bulk remediation efforts, such as upgrading essential dependencies or addressing code vulnerabilities of the same type in the same code file simultaneously.
In addition to the new root cause remediation capabilities, Legit Security also unveiled Service-level agreement (SLA) management, which streamlines remediation workflows, monitors progress, and enhances accountability. The SLA data from Legit can be exported or integrated into third-party GRC systems to support compliance and audit requirements, as well as into ticketing systems to align with remediation workflows. The system also offers trends and metrics to assist teams in understanding and reporting on SLA adherence and gaps.
With the enhanced capabilities provided by Legit Security, organizations can enhance their application security posture by knowing which fixes can address multiple issues simultaneously, thereby simplifying the process of demonstrating compliance. By leveraging root cause remediation and SLA management, security and development teams can significantly improve their efficiency in identifying and resolving software vulnerabilities, ultimately fortifying their overall security framework.
