The Epic Owner drives alignment between business and IT/security teams on protocols for managing business impact from security patching under strict SLAs, including increased patching frequency and emergency rules of engagement.

As a second focus area, the Epic Owner uses the outcomes and lessons learned from high-volume patching and vulnerability remediation table-tops or fire-drills — executed by the relevant operational teams — to define high-level action plans. These plans should target bottleneck removal, improved coordination, standardization, and increased automation, without prescribing detailed technical solutions.

Additional focus topics may be added as needed as the project evolves.
