How InsightConnect’s Vulnerability Remediation Toolkit Connects Teams and Speeds Up Workflows

Come with me on a journey, friends. The protagonists of our story are you and me. They’re thousands of security analysts and sysadmins. They’re people who get s**t done (often the hard way), through sheer force of will and a not-insignificant amount of elbow grease.


In the back of their minds, though, think about what could be. They imagine their vulnerability management and patching process not as the disparate components of today, but rather an elegant symphony of algorithmically driven API calls self-healing the environment while they lie back and listen to the musical hum of processor fans.

Okay, let’s do some real talk now. Are pie-in-the-sky automation workflows possible? Eh, maybe. But in the same way I can’t fake Scott Weinger’s voice, I’m not going to try and force-feed what I believe to be largely impractical solutions to really hard problems.


Security orchestration and automation isn’t about complex, multi-faceted workflows. It’s about taking the everyday tasks that we perform and making them easier. Vulnerability management and patching are packed with such tasks that are ripe for some sweet, sweet orchestration and automation. A common thread for those tasks is IT and security needing to work together—in each other’s tools!—to get things fixed,  and that’s why Rapid7 has released the Vulnerability Remediation Toolkit for insightconnect vulnerability remediation toolkit connects teams speeds workflows
