This vulnerabilitydata is then automatically correlated with the latest recommended patch strategy, reducingtime-to-remediation. Joint customers also benefit from the broadest set of remediation capabilities inthe industry from HCL BigFix, both in terms of supported operating systems and a library of over half amillion remediation automation Fixlets.
“Many organizations try to tackle the vulnerability overload problem without the proper insight orworkflows needed to ensure the most business-critical issues are addressed first.

“Enterprise customers often struggle with the sheer volume of reported vulnerabilities coupled with ineffective, manual prioritization schemes as well as limited resources. This results in lengthy time-to-remediation, errors and, in the end, big windows of risk,” said Kristin Hazlewood, vice president and general manager, HCL BigFix. “Our strategic partnership with Tenable is dramatically reducing remediation times. This is a giant step forward for organizations who need to secure their most business-critical assets.”
