Patch
Fix when pressure and path are clear
Use Patch Now only when remediation guidance is concrete enough to ask an owner for work today.
Defenders Today
A focused action list for what defenders should do today.
This view turns the live feed into immediate operational buckets so teams can patch, mitigate, and verify without sorting every page manually.
Today Route
Use this page as a short action queue, not a full investigation
Mitigate
Reduce risk while the fix path is messy
Use Mitigate First for no-patch, risky rollout, unclear guidance, or exposure-reduction cases.
Validate
Check scope before creating work
Use Validate and Monitor when exposure, product use, affected version, or owner evidence is still unclear.
Communicate
Turn the queue into a brief
Use Briefing Room or Report Builder when the next job is to explain risk, blockers, owners, and next steps.
