From alert to fix: A hands-on framework for security remediation that actually closes the loop

Security findings pile up not because teams lack scanners, but because remediation is hard to operationalize at scale.
This workshop is structured as a learning arc, not a product demo. We start with the question every security and platform team faces: given a fresh batch of findings, how do you actually fix them? We walk through each approach in order: manual triage and correlation, LLM-assisted remediation with tools you already have, structured AI workflows that validate before touching production, and closed-loop agentic remediation that generates production-ready fixes directly from policy violations.
For each approach, we break down where it works, where it breaks down, and what it costs in engineering time.
Upwork's journey anchors the discussion, not as a vendor story, but as an honest account of how their practice evolved: what they tried first, what failed, and how their process matured over time.
Atendees will leave with a clear decision framework for matching remediation approaches to team maturity, workflow constraints, and risk tolerance.
