Episode 68 — Vulnerability Tracking Discipline: Ownership, SLAs, Verification, and Closure Proof (Task 18)
This episode focuses on vulnerability tracking discipline, where the real security outcome depends on ownership, service level expectations, verification steps, and credible proof of closure. You will learn how to assign remediation ownership, define SLAs that reflect risk, and prevent “ticket closure” from substituting for actual remediation. We will discuss how verification works, including rescans, configuration checks, and evidence capture that proves the vulnerability is no longer exploitable in the relevant context. You will also hear practical scenarios like recurring vulnerabilities caused by deployment pipelines reintroducing bad configurations, and how to fix the underlying process rather than repeatedly patching symptoms. For the exam, you will practice selecting the tracking and verification approach that produces defensible evidence and sustained risk reduction over time.
