The Real Remediation Bottleneck
Most teams think vulnerability scanning equals progress.
But scanning without effective remediation is just expensive noise.
Two things block real fixes:
- Limited patching capacity
- Every new patch requires a costly migration. Not just the security fix, but every other code change since the last release. R&D spends weeks retesting just to maintain stability.
- “Unfixable” vulnerabilities
- Many vulnerabilities live in transitive dependencies you don’t even control.
- Scanners flag them, then filter them out of reports, leaving hidden risk buried in your backlog.
Meanwhile, our own research shows as much as 30% of vulnerabilities in transitive dependencies remain unresolved, simply because upgrades break production.
That means most organizations aren’t “secure”.
They’re sitting on unfixed issues their scanners excluded.
Stop negotiating with developers over unfixable findings.
Seal delivers standalone security patches that remediate both direct and transitive dependencies without full version upgrades.
No migrations or breaking changes.
That means reduced MTTR, stronger collaboration between R&D and security, and more time for engineers to focus on building
How many of the “unfixable” vulnerabilities in your backlog could actually be patched today?
