• Validate remediation results and investigate potential false positives or non-applicable findings.
• Coordinate with application and business owners when remediation requires downtime, application coordination, or server reboots.
• Support change requests and scheduled remediation activities.
• Document remediation activities, results, and outstanding issues.
• Collaborate with vulnerability management, automation, and systems engineering teams to improve remediation processes.
