Overview
Blockers help teams track issues that delay or prevent vulnerability remediation. Whenever progress is blocked — due to dependencies, missing access, or validation delays — a blocker ensures the issue is visible, assigned, and tracked until resolution. Each blocker is linked to a vulnerability and includes ownership, status, and activity history.Blockers ensure that no remediation delay goes unnoticed — every dependency or issue is tracked with clear ownership.
