Ask any security professional and they'll tell you that remediating risks from various siloed security scanning tools requires a tedious and labor-intensive series of steps focused on deduplication, prioritization, and routing of issues to an appropriate "Fixer" somewhere in the organization.

A new study, commissioned by Seemplicity and conducted by Dark Reading, provides fresh insight into how security pros handle the challenging remediation life cycle from discovery to resolution.

The data exposes the outcomes - in increased workload and diminished risk posture - that arise from lengthy remediation times, inefficient and uncontrolled manual processes, the lack of managerial visibility and oversight across the risk life cycle.

The "State of Risk Remediation" research provides a roadmap for improving efficiency and performance, bolstering organizational defense, and reducing risk - and security team's sanity.

Automating risk reduction workflows will allow security teams to focus on strategic security initiatives.

Employing judicious automation technology at every point in the remediation process and across disparate scanning and management platforms frees teams to focus on more strategic security initiatives while also improving remediation efficiency and performance.
