Organization-Level Remediation for Missing Patches and Misconfigurations

Overview

In large organizations, IT and security teams often manage multiple accounts across different departments, geographies, or business units. Addressing vulnerabilities and misconfigurations one account at a time can be time-consuming and inefficient.

With Saner CVEM’s Organization-level Unified Dashboard, administrators gain a single, consolidated view of all missing patches and misconfigurations across every account that belongs to the same organization.

From this centralized dashboard, you can:

• View all vulnerabilities in one place, without logging into individual account pages.

• Create remediation tasks for multiple assets across different accounts.

• Apply missing patches and fix misconfigurations more efficiently.

• Schedule tasks to minimize business disruption.

This unified approach ensures that your organization’s entire asset base remains secure, compliant, and consistently managed.
