Remediate Risk Across Cloud and On-Prem Environments

Remediation Hub offers a list of prioritized updates called remediations that are focused on reducing vulnerability risk. This list makes the Remediation Hub the first place you should check to drive risk reduction across your hybrid environments.

Access Remediation Hub

Remediation Hub is accessible from the Command Platform. To view the Remediation Hub, you must have the following permissions:

Understand Remediation Hub

Remediation Hub contains three main sections:

• Emergent Threats (if available)
• Key Metrics
• Remediations

Emergent threats

Rapid7’s security research team actively monitors and researches emergent threats. Emergent Threat Response delivers fast expert analysis and first-rate security content for the highest priority security threats to help you understand your exposures and act quickly to protect your assets from exploitation. When there is an active emergent threat, Remediation Hub notifies users with a callout banner at the top of the page that Rapid7 teams are responding. This callout initially provides a link to a blog post that is constantly being updated. As more becomes known about the vulnerability and content is created in various Rapid7 solutions, the Remediation Hub shows customers the CVE numbers and the impact on assets across their environment. Emergent threats are shown for 14 days. If there is no current emergent threat, the banner will not be displayed.

Key metrics

The following key metrics are displayed at the top of the Remediation Hub:

Remediations

All risks are paired with a remediation (previously known as a solution). Remediations for assets without patch management or endpoint protection software are prioritized in the listing by default. Each remediation in the table includes the following:

• Type (on-prem or cloud)
• A short description of the remediation
• The amount that the risk score is reduced by implementing the provided remediation
  • For more information on how risk is calculated, visit How is Risk Calculated?
• The number of assets, images, CVEs, and findings that are associated with the risk
  • Note that due to the time it takes to sync data for Remediation Hub, the count of assets affected by a given remediation may vary between Remediation Hub, InsightCloudSec, and InsightVM.

You can apply filters to reduce the scope of remediations and assets returned from the Remediation Hub. Click Export to export the top 25 remediations in the current view.

Click a remediation from the table to open a panel containing details on the total number of impacted assets and vulnerabilities as well as a description of the remediation. Depending on the type of asset, available details may differ but can include:

• Asset Name
• Resource ID and type
• Physical site
• Cloud account
• Owner
• Vulnerability proof
• Vulnerability name, severity, and risk

Assess endpoint protection and patch management coverage

On the Impacted Assets tab, there are two columns that provide the status of mitigating controls for a given asset: Endpoint Protection and Patch Management. There are three statuses for these columns:
