Frontier Remediationfor Vulnerabilities and Misconfigurations

Burn down the CVE and CSPM backlog with fixes ready to merge.

Your scanners already find the problems. Agents take the backlog from Amazon Inspector, Security Hub, Wiz or Snyk, check which findings are reachable in your environment, and turn each one into a tested fix ready to merge: a dependency bump, a Terraform change, a patch window. Your team reviews pull requests instead of spreadsheets.

[The work behind every finding]

Scanners find issues every day.The backlog only grows.

01The manual work

Prioritize

A finding is only a line in a report. Engineers still check if it is reachable, find the owner and work out a safe fix.

02The agent handoff

Fix ready

Frontier agents rank the backlog by real exposure, then prepare the change in the code or infrastructure that owns it.

03Your engineers’ role

Merge

Set which fixes agents may prepare and where. Review the pull request and decide what ships.

[Where CloudThinker fits]

[Example scenario]

Monday, 09:00. 2,400 open findings.The audit is in six weeks.

A healthtech company with 22 AWS accounts, Security Hub and Amazon Inspector turned on, and Terraform for everything. Two security engineers own the backlog.

  1. 09:00

    Backlog review startsSignal

    Security Hub shows 2,400 open findings. Nobody knows which ones are reachable or who owns them.

  2. 09:05

    Agent ranks by reachabilityAgent

    Checks each finding against network paths, IAM and runtime use. 310 are reachable. 2,090 are closed with the reason.

[Frontier remediation agents]

Every finding gets a fix.Only the hard ones need a meeting.

Agents work the backlog from every scanner on one policy, so a critical finding arrives ranked by real exposure, with the fix already written.

Check reachability
Each finding checked against what is deployed, exposed and actually called before it is ranked.
Find the owner
The repo, module and team behind the resource found from code, tags and deploy history.
Write the fix
Dependency bumps, Terraform changes and config fixes opened as pull requests with tests and a plan.
Verify it closed
After the merge, agents rescan and confirm the finding is gone, or reopen it with the reason.

[What changes]

Same team. Same tools.Far less of the work by hand.

[Adoption path]

One pilot.Then company-wide.

The rollout follows the four phases of the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework, so it fits the plan your cloud team already runs.

  1. 01Envision

    Pick one backlog

    Connect one scanner read-only and let agents rank and draft fixes in shadow mode. Compare them with your own triage.

  2. 02Align

    Agree the fix policy

    Decide which fix types agents may open, which repos they may touch, and who reviews.

  3. 03Launch

    Roll out team by team

    Add each team’s repos and accounts on the same policies, pull request format and audit trail.

  4. 04Scale

    Make it continuous

    New findings get a drafted fix as they appear. The backlog stops growing instead of being cleared once a quarter.

[Trust and control]

Agents do the work.Your team keeps control.

You approve every change
Agents propose. Nothing touches production until someone on your team says yes, and you set that rule per system.
Every action on the record
Each step is logged, attributed and reversible, ready for your auditors.
Certified for enterprise
SOC 2 Type II and ISO 42001, with reports in our trust center.
Runs where you need it
In our cloud, through AWS Marketplace, or inside your own account.

[Questions]

What teams askbefore they start.

Does this replace our scanners?
No. Agents read findings from the scanners you already run, such as Amazon Inspector, Security Hub, Wiz and Snyk. Your scanning setup stays where it is.
What access does it need?
Read-only access to the scanners, cloud accounts and repos you choose. Opening pull requests is added per repo and can be revoked at any time.
Can agents apply fixes to production?
Only where your policy allows it. Most teams have agents open pull requests that go through normal review and CI, so nothing reaches production without a merge.
How do you avoid breaking things?
Every fix comes with tests or a Terraform plan, and agents rescan after the merge. If a fix would destroy or replace a resource, the pull request says so up front.

Turn the backlog into pull requests.Keep your engineers for the hard ones.

Start with one scanner, read-only. See the fixes agents draft before you grant a single permission more.
