Remediation
Remediation in cybersecurity refers to the actions taken to remove the cause of a cyber incident, restore affected systems to their pre-incident state, and prevent future occurrences. It involves fixing vulnerabilities and eradicating threats after a security breach.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Remediation is a critical phase in the cyber incident response lifecycle, following containment, focusing on the eradication of identified threats, removal of malicious artifacts, patching of exploited vulnerabilities, and implementation of security controls to restore affected systems and data to a secure operational state, thereby preventing recurrence of similar security incidents.
BACKGROUND
Continuous Exposure Management (CEM) is a cybersecurity approach that provides continuous, real-time monitoring, assessment, and prioritization of an organization’s security vulnerabilities and exposures. CEM focuses on identifying and mitigating risks by analyzing attack paths and providing recommendations, ensuring organizations maintain a resilient cybersecurity posture.
