Episode 121: Inhibitors to Remediation
Even when vulnerabilities are known and documented, remediation doesn’t always move forward. In this episode, we examine the most common inhibitors to remediation—technical, procedural, and political obstacles that delay or prevent action. You’ll learn how factors like legacy systems, proprietary dependencies, business process interruptions, organizational governance constraints, and SLAs all play a role in stalling patch deployment or mitigation efforts.
We also discuss how analysts escalate concerns, document exceptions, and work with cross-functional teams to develop temporary workarounds or compensating controls. Understanding remediation inhibitors is essential for realistic risk management, and the CySA+ exam frequently tests your ability to recommend responses when ideal solutions aren’t immediately possible. This episode helps you approach vulnerability management with a practical, collaborative mindset. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
