This involves running vulnerability assessments or scans on the affected systems or applications, verifying that the identified vulnerabilities have indeed been remediated. Rescanning helps in several ways:
- Validation of effectiveness: Rescanning confirms whether the applied remediation actions were successful in eliminating...
