Automating processes and workflows doesn’t just enhance efficiency - it empowers teams by reducing
manual work, boosting productivity and ensuring that time and energy is focused on efforts that make a
difference to organizations’ security resilience.

Cross-Team Collaboration Across Remediation Teams

Effective exposure management is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration between security
and the teams doing the remediation, but in many organizations, teams operate in silos without
established communication channels.

Lack of coordination, poor communication and unclear ownership of tasks can cause internal friction and
inefficiencies, which negatively impact team mental health, exacerbate workload issues and create
remediation gaps that can increase an organization’s threat exposure. To foster stronger collaboration,
organizations should integrate remediation workflows and tasks into the existing processes and tools
developers use. This enables teams to address vulnerabilities quickly and efficiently while creating a
healthier, sustainable work environment.

Support Fixing Teams to Strengthen Security

The success of any exposure management strategy depends on the well-being of the teams responsible
for executing it. The human impact on security operations cannot be overlooked: Developer, operations
and security teams are all critical players when it comes to protecting organizations from vulnerabilities.

Security leaders need to stop simply reacting to problems as they come up and start getting ahead of
them. They need an exposure management strategy that makes the company more secure and protects
their most valuable asset: their people.
