Close the Gap: How RedSeal Workflow Turns Exposure Insights into Action
RedSeal, Inc.
Proactive exposure management to visualize risk, block attack paths, and stop breaches before they start.
Visibility is the Starting Point, Not the Finish Line.
Security leaders know that finding exposures is only half the job. The real challenge is closing them.
Across complex hybrid environments, vulnerabilities continue to surface faster than teams can address them. Tickets move manually, fixes go unvalidated, and integrations break. Attackers are moving faster as well. The 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) emphasizes the ever-widening gap between attackers and defenders: threat actors can often weaponize new vulnerabilities in as little as 3 days, yet organizations frequently take over 100 days to fully remediate those same critical issues.
That is the gap where risk lies, and where RedSeal Workflow helps close it.
Where Exposure Management Stalls
Even mature exposure management programs face common challenges that slow progress and reduce effectiveness:
- Manual effort: Organizations face significant delays in patching critical flaws due to inefficient, manual processes; the average mean time to remediate (MTTR) a high or critical severity network/device vulnerability is approximately 54.8 days—nearly two months. (Edgescan, 2025 Vulnerability Statistics Report)
- Siloed accountability: Security, Networking, and compliance teams often pursue different priorities without shared visibility.
- Costly integrations: Custom connectors to ServiceNow or Jira often require expensive consulting and ongoing maintenance.
- Risky changes: Misconfigurations and security policy violations remain major exposure points, accounting for an estimated 35% of all general cyber incidents. (SentinelOne, What is Security Misconfiguration?, 2025)
These roadblocks leave teams stuck in a cycle of discovery without resolution; the very issue RedSeal Workflow was built to address.
Turning Visibility into Validated Action
RedSeal Workflow is a low/no-code automation builder that embeds RedSeal’s exposure intelligence into the systems your teams already use including ServiceNow, Jira, Slack, Teams, and more.
It aligns people, data, and processes so remediation becomes consistent, measurable, and provable instead of manual and ad-hoc.
Four Business Use Cases Where Workflow Delivers
- Faster Risk Reduction (Exposure Closure)
Workflow automates every step of the remediation cycle, from discovery and ticket creation to validation after remediation.
Result: Teams close exposures up to 60% faster and reduce their attack surface more effectively.
- Continuous Compliance
Workflow continuously checks RedSeal data against frameworks like PCI, NIST, and HIPAA, identifying gaps and generating reports automatically.
Result: Audits become continuous and predictable, saving hundreds of staff hours each year.
- Operational Efficiency and Cost Avoidance
Automate ticket routing and eliminating custom connectors cuts manual work by 50-60 percent and integration costs by 40-60 percent. Result: Most organizations see 3–6x ROI in the first year, often paying the price of one avoided project.
- Change Assurance
Workflow validates network and cloud configurations before and after each change to prevent new exposures.
Result: Approvals move faster, failed changes drop by roughly 30%, and operations stay secure.
Making Exposure Management Practical
Adding another tool is rarely the answer. The key is connecting people and processes around shared, validated data. RedSeal Workflow enables that connection by embedding automation and visibility directly into day-to-day operations so teams can continuously reduce exploitable risk.
Real-World Results
A Fortune 500 financial services company needed to integrate RedSeal with ServiceNow to streamline remediation. Rather than hire consultants to build a custom connector, the internal team used Workflow to create the integration themselves in a matter of hours.
They also connected prioritized alerts to Microsoft Teams and Slack, giving remediation teams faster visibility and accountability. The result was faster closure of exposures, measurable cost savings, and a process that fits the organization’s environment instead of the other way around.
Why It Matters Now
Attackers are exploiting faster, budgets are tighter, and exposure lists are longer. The 2025 Edgescan Vulnerability Report found that more than 33% of infrastructure vulnerabilities remain high or critical severity, underscoring that manual, disconnected processes can no longer keep up.
According to the Gartner® report Exposure Management Vendors Must Get Preemptive or Perish (2025), exposure management providers “must lean into preemptive, proactive, and predictive technologies to thrive.” The report explains that preemptive exposure management goes beyond traditional discovery; focusing instead on continuous validation, prioritization, and automated action to reduce risk at scale. Gartner further cautions that vendors failing to adopt preemptive cybersecurity strategies “will begin losing clients in 2026.
RedSeal Workflow brings that vision to life by automating the handoffs, validations, and communication that turn visibility into verified closure.
Closing the Gap
Exposures are exploited in days, not months. Closing that gap requires coordination across teams, not just more alerts or dashboards.
RedSeal Workflow helps organizations make that coordination practical. It adapts to existing environments and processes so exposure management finally fits the business.
