From Crisis to Control: How Remedio Helps Businesses Detect & Fix Risk

Written by Eden Aizenkot | Apr 19, 2026 12:49:31 PM

Just how much damage can one misconfiguration cause? At PDS Health, the answer was stark: a single misconfiguration threatened 4,600 PCs and disrupted daily operations. IT and security teams scrambled to uncover what went wrong, only to find a familiar limitation. Traditional security tools could detect the issue but couldn’t fix it fast enough to prevent impact.

That moment became a turning point. PDS realized that alert-only approaches were no longer enough. They needed a solution that could both detect and remediate risks at speed and scale while delivering measurable results.

Remedio provided exactly that. For the first time, PDS teams could not only spot security gaps but also resolve them quickly and safely. Misconfigurations were corrected with the push of a button, the attack surface was reduced, and operations continued uninterrupted.

However, those benefits aren’t unique to one organization. Like PDS, the University of Kansas Health System (UKHS) and the City of Phoenix saw challenges at the intersection of their security and operations. And like PDS, they were able to make remarkable progress with the help of Remedio.

Understanding Risk in the Wild

Attacks hit 80% of businesses, eroding up to 9% of revenue each year. Traditional security often focuses on patching, yet 90% of security incidents can be traced back to human error.

Misconfigured software, overlooked updates, or drifted policies all create critical security gaps that bad actors are happy to exploit.

Overworked security teams often rely on alert-only tools, which detect problems but leave remediation to unreliable scripting or  manual follow up.

Remedio changes that equation by providing :

  • Clear visibility into operational risk across thousands of assets
  • Reduced noise, allowing teams to focus on high-impact actions
  • Fewer surprises since the organization...
    • Sees issues at their earliest expressions
    • Can assess risks and remediations in a dependency-aware manner 

By continuously monitoring endpoints, cloud instances, and critical configurations, Remedio helps operators stay ahead of threat actors. In addition, Remedio also has an ROI calculator, so that teams are able to show impact and uplift to the broader business.

Suddenly, your monitoring and management system isn't just about alerts. It becomes about enabling actionable fixes that actually reduce risk and enhance ROI. 

Proof at Scale: University of Kansas Health System (UKHS)

Like PDS, UKHS operates a complex healthcare enterprise. It is a nonprofit academic health system delivering advanced care across Kansas. As a healthcare organization, the stakes are high: a breach can literally mean life or death.

Amid its mission‑driven focus, UKHS contended with the immense pressure of securing sensitive patient data, protecting medical operations, and safeguarding an increasingly expansive attack surface. 

Yet even with the best of intentions, misconfigurations and overlooked updates left systems exposed, slowing productivity and increasing risk.

With Remedio, UKHS was able to streamline its security operations:

  • 3,000 hours saved

  • 2 FTE productivity uplift

  • All achieved with 0 downtime or disruption

Perhaps most importantly, UKHS gained predictability and control, reducing operational drag and enabling faster, safer innovation.

They were able to quantify improvements in productivity and risk reduction. And once they were able to stop chasing misconfigurations, they were able to advance digital transformation.

How the City of Phoenix Leveraged Remedio

The capital of Arizona and the sixth largest city in the United States, Phoenix has a population of over 1.5 million and serves its community through more than 30 departments.

As a government entity, it oversees critical infrastructure, including an airport, municipal courts, fire and police departments, water treatment facilities, elections, and transit systems.

These high-profile assets make the city a prime target for cyber threats, requiring robust cybersecurity measures. To address misconfigurations across thousands of devices, Phoenix turned to Remedio and saw impressive results:

  • 5,000+ misconfigurations fixed in the first days
  • 83% attack surface reduction
  • 77% faster remediation
  • 480% increase in IT and security productivity

By proactively detecting and resolving misconfigurations, the City of Phoenix fundamentally improved the way its IT and security teams operate.

Their success illustrates how Remedio turns complex cybersecurity challenges into measurable outcomes, setting the stage for understanding the broader impact organizations around the world can achieve.

The Greater Impact of Detecting and Fixing

Beyond these case studies, enterprises worldwide enjoy measurable results when using Remedio:

  • 50% faster mean time to repair (MTTR)
  • 30% attach surface reduction

  • 25%+ increases in IT and security productivity

Prioritizing measurable impact ensures that every remediation contributes to real operational and business outcomes.

With Remedio’s built-in ROI calculator, the results of these improvements are expressed into business terms like hours saved, risk reduced, and productivity regained. Security becomes a performance driver that protects uptime, customer trust, revenue continuity, and even innovation.

Ultimately, Remedio delivers something few tools can: the ability to fix what others only detect; the resilience to prevent problems before they escalate; and perhaps most importantly, the confidence to move faster, without compromise.
