Contextualization of Third-Party Cloud Security Findings
Finding severity is the main driver of how security teams prioritize remediation. For third-party cloud security findings, that severity is static: the rule that raised the finding assigns it before the rule meets any environment, so it reflects the risk of the condition in general rather than the risk the finding poses to the concrete environment where it lives. Scoring standards define where environment-specific context belongs. How far that context changes finding severities in production, where the deciding evidence lies, and whether it holds against the live environment have not been measured. We address this gap with contextualization, re-deriving each finding's severity from eviden...
