Clear the critical vulnerability backlog instead of managing it

Nullify ranks every finding by real risk, turns the critical ones into campaigns and drives each fix to merge, at a pace your developers can absorb.

The problem

The backlog grows faster than anyone can work it

Your scanners keep finding things. Every new repository, dependency and cloud account adds to the queue, and the critical findings sit in the same list as everything else.

Working that list one ticket at a time doesn't scale. Each finding needs someone to confirm it's real, find the owner, write the fix and chase it through review. With one security engineer for every hundred or so developers, the backlog wins.

So teams end up managing the backlog instead of clearing it: re-sorting it, reporting on it and explaining why it's still there next quarter.

The outcome

What changes with Nullify

The critical list gets shorter before anyone touches it

Findings are scored 0–100 on severity, exploitability, reachability and business impact, so unreachable and low-impact issues stop competing with the real ones.

Proof comes first

API findings from the Pentest Agent are exploited live with evidence, and leaked secrets are checked against the provider to confirm they're live.

Work toward a target, not a queue

Campaigns turn a class of findings, such as every instance of a CWE or every CVE-affected dependency, into one objective that Nullify works to closure.

Developers aren't flooded

Nullify keeps at most 3 open fix PRs per repository and 5 per remediation plan, and assigns work based on each person's open PRs and tickets.

Progress you can show

Reporting tracks resolved versus remaining for each campaign and each team.

How it works

Three steps, inside the workflow you already have

Rank one backlog by real risk

Code, secrets, cloud, dependency and pentest findings land in one prioritized backlog. Actively exploited vulnerabilities and zero-days affecting your stack move to the top.

Run a campaign against the critical set

Pick an objective and scope it by type, CWE, CVE, repository, team or severity. You choose how much Nullify automates, and work isn't moved across teams without approval.

Drive every fix to merge

Autofix opens minimal, build-validated fixes in GitHub or GitLab, routed to the owner from CODEOWNERS and commit history. Stalled PRs are escalated in Slack, and developers approve every merge.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does our vulnerability backlog keep growing?

Detection scales with your codebase, but remediation scales with people. Every finding still needs someone to validate it, find the owner, write the fix and get it reviewed, so new findings arrive faster than old ones close.

Which findings does Nullify work on first?

The ones with the most real risk. Each finding is scored 0–100 on severity, exploitability, reachability and business impact rather than raw CVSS, and actively exploited vulnerabilities affecting your technologies move up the backlog.

How do you clear a backlog without flooding developers?

Campaigns pace the work. Nullify keeps no more than 3 open fix PRs per repository and 5 per remediation plan, and it takes each person's open PRs and tickets into account when it assigns work.

Does Nullify merge fixes automatically?

No. Nullify validates each fix against your build, opens the pull request and manages it through CI, but your developers review and approve every merge.
