Threat Mitigation Overview
Overview
Threat Mitigation provides a full-resolution workflow for each identified threat, combining:- Technical analysis
- Reproduction steps
- Remediation guidance
- Team ownership & collaboration
- Evidence attachments
- Lifecycle and activity history
Mitigation Workflow
Threat Mitigation Workflow
Review Threat Details
Analyze the threat description, impacted endpoints, severity, CWE category, and attack scenario.
Verify Evidence
Inspect captured requests, payloads, parameters, and attached proof to validate the risk.
Apply Fix or Patch
Developers apply backend, permission, validation, or logic fixes to remove the vulnerability.
Mark as Ready for Verification
Once developers push the fix, the threat moves to Fix Verified for security review.
Re-Test Automatically
Snapsec automatically replays the threat scenario to validate the fix.
Close the Threat
If validation passes, the threat is marked Resolved with a complete audit trail.
Key Features
Replayable Attack Evidence
Snapsec stores full request/response pairs so teams can reproduce attacks instantly.
AI-Assisted Remediation Guidance
Receive system-specific, endpoint-aware guidance on how to eliminate the threat.
Lifecycle Tracking
Every threat moves through states: Pending → Acknowledged → In Progress → Fixed → Verified.
Developer Collaboration
Add comments, attach files, assign owners, and track activity in a shared workspace.
Automatic Fix Verification
Automated re-testing ensures that patches correctly remove the vulnerability.
Audit & Compliance Ready
Full history of who fixed what, when, and how — ideal for audits and compliance.
Example Mitigation Insights
Injection payloads replayed against the patched endpoint showing sanitized responses.
Logic-flaw threat marked fixed after re-testing validates authorization checks.
Broken authentication threat closed after password-reset flow was redesigned.
CWE-639 (IDOR) threat resolved after implementing object-level access validation.
