74 days to remediate.That's the industry median
Edgescan 2025 surfaced the median MTTR for critical application vulnerabilities is 74.3 days - and 45.4% remain unpatched after 12 months. Detection without remediation is a risk metric, not a change.

Detection is solved. Remediation isn't
45% of critical vulnerabilities are still unpatched after 12 months.
Edgescan 2025 showed that 45.4% of critical application vulnerabilities remain unpatched after 12 months. The issue isn't detection - most teams have scanners. The issue is that issues enter a triage queue and wait for engineering bandwidth.

IBM X-Force 2024 showed that 78% of successful breaches exploited vulnerabilities for which a patch already existed. The security team surfaced the issue. The change existed. The gap is that no one executed it.

Snyk's Forrester TEI 2025 showed that security teams using automated remediation reclaimed 84,000 developer hours and reduced MTTR by 84% over three years. Manual triage is consuming AppSec capacity that should go to threat modeling and architecture review.
Forrester Research, "TEI of Snyk," 2025.Close issues, not just dashboards
MTTR reduction
- Hyrax executes changes autonomously - critical issues don't wait for sprint assignment
- Continuous scanning means issues surface at introduction, not weeks later
- Every change is validated against the test suite before it ships
Known vulnerability backlog
- Hyrax's Scan and Upgrade workflows work through accumulated vulnerability backlogs
- Prioritization by severity ensures critical issues execute first
- Every closed issue is a PR with a full audit trail
AppSec capacity reclaimed
- Hyrax handles triage through resolve - security team reviews PRs, not individual issues
- Every PR carries the issue, the change plan, and the verification record
- AppSec team focuses on architecture review and threat modeling
How Hyrax closes the remediation gap
| Stage | Without Hyrax | Hyrax |
|---|---|---|
| Detection | Scanner flags issue; goes into dashboard queue | Scanner flags issue; Hyrax begins execution immediately |
| Triage | AppSec engineer reviews severity, assigns to sprint | Hyrax prioritizes by severity; no manual triage |
| Resolve | Developer implements resolve in sprint cycle | Hyrax executes resolve autonomously; test suite validates |
| Review | Developer reviews own resolve or peer reviews | Engineer reviews and approves Hyrax's PR |
| Verification | Manual re-scan or QA validation | 13-step verification runs pre-merge |
| Closure | Ticket manually closed; audit trail assembled by hand | Linear ticket closes automatically; PR provides full audit trail |
Common questions
from security teams
We already run Snyk and SonarQube. What does Hyrax add?
Those are detection platforms - they surface issues. Hyrax is the remediation layer. If your MTTR on critical issues is weeks or months, the scanner output isn't being closed. Hyrax closes it.
Security teams are accountable for risk, not developer throughput. Why does Hyrax matter to us?
Because unpatched issues are your risk exposure. If 45.4% of critical vulnerabilities are still open 12 months after detection, the remediation workflow requires developer bandwidth that isn't available. Hyrax removes that dependency.
How does Hyrax handle false positives?
Hyrax's multi-agent analysis filters low-confidence issues before execution. High-confidence issues execute autonomously; low-confidence issues are surfaced for human review. The 13-step verification means broken changes don't ship.
Does Hyrax produce evidence for compliance audits?
Yes. Every change produces a PR with complete audit trail: issue type and severity, code diff, test suite results, approver, and merge timestamp. This satisfies change management requirements for PCI-DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, and SOX.
