# Exploring Fix Intelligence for Security Exposure Management

Fix Intelligence for Security Exposure Management enriches USEM with a de-duplicated catalog of remediation actions, each linked to the findings and assets it resolves and scored by the risk it removes.

Vulnerability teams often work finding by finding, even when a single patch or configuration change resolves many findings across many assets. Fix Intelligence for Security Exposure Management identifies fix information for your exposure findings and turns it into Fix records. These records group findings under the action that resolves them, so you can plan and prioritize remediation by fix.

Fixes are identified and normalized for all exposure findings ingested through the unified exposure pipeline. Because fixes are normalized and de-duplicated, a single Fix record can represent the same remediation action across many exposure findings, assets, and scanners. For information about the unified exposure pipeline, see [Unified Security Exposure Management integrations](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/integrating-usem.md).

## Features

-   **De-duplicated fix catalog**

    Each remediation action is stored once as a Fix record, no matter how many detections or scanners report it, with its remediation category \(for example, Patch Update, OS Update, or Configuration Change\), affected software, and a rolled-up risk score.

-   **Finding and asset linkage**

    Every fix is linked to the exposure findings it resolves, and each finding carries a read-only reference back to its fix.

-   **Per-fix risk rollup**

    A rollup calculator scores each fix from the active findings that share it, and maintains a findings count and a distinct-assets count so you can size the impact of applying the fix.

-   **Workspace and dashboard visibility**

    Fixes appear as a list and form in Unified Security Exposure Management Workspace, and as widgets on the **Findings View** and the **Remediation View** — for example, **Findings with fix identified** and **Top fixes by finding count**.


## Who uses Fix Intelligence for SEM

|User|Goal|
|----|----|
|Vulnerability analyst|Find the fixes that resolve the most findings and highest risk, then act on them first.|
|Remediation Owner|Navigate to the fix list and see other findings if they are assigned to them.|

## Benefits

-   **Remediate by fix, not by finding**: One fix can clear many findings across many assets, reducing repetitive work.
-   **Prioritize by risk removed**: The per-fix risk rollup surfaces the fixes that reduce the most exposure.
