Security remediation involves identifying, evaluating, and addressing security vulnerabilities to mitigate potential risks. In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, this remains a critical aspect of organizational defense strategies. However, the effectiveness of remediation efforts is contingent upon several factors, ranging from team collaboration to the efficiency of tools and processes in place. Those key issues should be addressed when the average cost of a data breach is $7.29 million.

Dazz commissioned CSA to develop a survey and report to better understand the industry’s knowledge, attitudes, and opinions regarding security remediation. The survey was conducted in December 2023 and received 2,037 responses from IT and security professionals. The primary objectives of the survey were to gain a deeper understanding of current cloud environments and security tools, challenges in today’s vulnerability assessment and mitigation practices, and opportunities to lower risk. The survey results included in this report emphasize several important areas of cybersecurity remediation that could be improved.
