The Remedy Dimension of Vulnerability Analysis

This work is aimed at supporting system and information owners in their mission to apply a proper remedy when a security flaw is discovered during system operation. A broad analysis of the different aspects of flaw remediation has resulted in a structured taxonomy that will guide the system and information owners through the remedy identification process. The information produced in the process will help to make decisions about changes to the system or procedures. A selected vulnerability that was able to be removed using three different remedies is used as an example.
