Interview › Security & DevSecOps
How would you use Wiz findings to drive remediation across teams? [Basic]
Answer
I would use Wiz findings to drive remediation by assigning clear ownership, prioritizing with context, creating tickets with actionable fix guidance, tracking SLAs, and verifying closure through rescans. The process should be integrated with engineering workflows, not handled only in a security dashboard.
Technical explanation
Every finding needs owner mapping from tags, accounts, repositories, clusters, or CMDB metadata.
High-risk attack paths should trigger urgent incidents or expedited tickets; lower-risk findings should enter normal backlog with deadlines.
Remediation evidence should include fix commit, deployment version, rescan status, and exception approval if not fixed.
Hands-on example
Operating model: Wiz -> Jira ticket with asset, owner, severity, attack path, recommended fix, SLA. Team patches IaC/image/app dependency. CI rebuilds and deploys. Wiz rescan confirms closure. Weekly review tracks overdue criticals and exception aging.
