  • Install, update, patch, or remove software packages to remediate vulnerabilities.
  • Validate remediation activities and confirm vulnerabilities have been successfully addressed.
  • Identify and investigate false positives or findings that may not apply to specific systems.
  • Coordinate with application and business owners when remediation activities require downtime, reboot windows, or application validation.
  • Support change management processes and scheduled maintenance activities.
  • Document remediation efforts, remediation status, and outstanding issues.
  • Collaborate with vulnerability management, automation, and systems engineering teams to improve remediation processes.
  • Identify recurring remediation patterns that may be suitable for automation.
  • Troubleshoot Linux operating system issues encountered during remediation activities.
