🛠️ Remediation Plan Generator
In the realm of automating security procedures in organizations, Myrror also automates the development of remediation plans for fixing security issues for the organization. With all the data generated from the reachability, exploitability, and AI integrity check engines, Myrror crafts a fine-tailored report for developers to patch the security issues in the most efficient way possible.
After the scan is finished, reports about security issues are generated with the remediation plan. Remediation plans are tailored solutions on how to fix the security issue in the most reliable way and the security posture of the application after solving it.
On the top of the page, a summary of the issue is mentioned. Furthermore, the actual remediation plan and fixes are provided as well as the security posture that the application would have after fixing the issue. It may be a case that fixing the issue might introduce other security issues, and hence, it’s important to acknowledge it.
How Myrror Plans Remediations?
Myrror possesses a huge amount of data from the Reachability Engine, Exploitability Engine as well as the AI Integrity Check Engine. This data is processed by Myrror to create a priority list for all the security issues that need to be patched. This includes parameters such as Reachability, Severity, Exploitability, etc. All of them are prioritized and a list is generated.
Furthermore, Myrror has a large database of remediation plans for a huge variety of security issues. This data is used to find the perfect remediation solution for a particular issue. This does not only contain the remediation but also the effects of remediation on the application. It is necessary to acknowledge that the security posture of the application might change significantly even if a single change is made. To accommodate this, Myrror calculated the post-remediation posture of the application and used it to develop the most efficient remediation possible.
The calculation of post-remediation security posture holds its significance in Myrror Security. Identifying security issues, patching them, and moving forward stands good enough theoretically, but is not the case during practical remediations. Issues that are recommended by Myrror to solve would have a recommendation plan that would be generated as per its calculations on the most reliable path to take to solve the issue and fix the security posture of the application. This is done to acknowledge the fact that fixing issues can also introduce more issues, in some cases, more severe and potentially harm the security posture of the application. Myrror avoids doing this and finds a better way to fix issues and make sure that they improve the posture.
Grouping of Security Issues
Myrror groups the security issues remediation recommendations by the 2 important parameter levels - The R&D remediation effort and the manifest file that requires a change. These 2 grouping levels save tons of time for the security professional by helping understand when each fix can fit in every release according to the effort it takes to fix the issue. Myrror’s remediation effort calculation is determined by the amount of API changes the newer package version has, for example, if the newer package deletes a function that was used, replacing that function will take at least a day, but if the API of the newer version didn’t change the update will requires only a regression test. By grouping the issues according to their remediation effort the team can schedule to add all the upgrades that require a regression test or instead upgrade a package that the R&D planned on working on in a specific version.
Remediation by Myrror’s R&D
Calculation of efforts that are required for fixing a certain issue is important since developers have limited time and energy to solve them. These factors need to be addressed manually, which is done in Myrror R&D where security research and remediation plans are extensively worked upon. Remediation plans for security issues are developed and stored in databases, and when it is discovered in your projects, they are referred to suggest the best route for patching the security issues. This allows security teams from Myrror to work on the protection mechanisms and developers can therefore work on patching them.
Conclusion
With all the mechanisms in the engines in the SCA, Myrror stands at the leading edge in the advancements in SCA tools. All these processes that are beyond what humans can do manually are done by Myrror at every stage of the development process, anytime when required. At the end of the remediation engine, developers have a detailed report of the security posture and the exact plan required for patching them, allowing developers to focus on solving issues and developing the applications.
