A security team runs multiple automated checks each day against a large fleet of internal hosts. They receive extensive notifications, making it difficult to recognize pressing issues. Which tactic would be most effective for elevating the most serious findings?
Send organization-wide emails daily seeking insights on detected abnormalities
Adopt recognized scoring guidelines for each discovered issue and pair them with automated workflows
Compile notifications in a spreadsheet for a manual ranking process
Turn off checks for servers older than a predetermined age threshold
Using known scoring frameworks systematically categorizes the severity of each discovered issue. This focuses time and effort on hazards posing the greatest risk first. Broadcasting alerts to employees can introduce confusion, while disabling checks abandons potential risk identification. Relying on spreadsheets alone also slows prioritization and leaves teams with an unstructured process for severity classification.
