Introducing Puppet Enterprise tasks and workflows in Puppet Remediate

This release brings together the dynamic vulnerability data and prioritization capabilities in Puppet Remediate with Puppet Enterprise’s industry-leading automation to help organizations improve their security posture and reduce the risk of security incidents. Puppet Enterprise customers can now make use of a common automation workflow, using Puppet Remediate to assess vulnerabilities impacting their Puppet-managed assets, prioritize vulnerabilities based on infrastructure impact, deploy remediations via the Puppet agent, and generate reports to validate patches and ensure that assets are up-to-date.

Users of both products can connect their Puppet Enterprise environment with Puppet Remediate to surface details on their Puppet-managed nodes and the vulnerabilities that impact them.

Customers who use source control to manage their tasks and then sync them to environments within PE can leverage these tasks in Puppet Remediate as well, enabling the utilization of existing PE workflows.

When it comes to vulnerability remediation, one of the biggest challenges is the sheer number of vulnerabilities that IT Ops teams must filter through and fix.
