resecures

Fastens once more

Resecures means to secure again—to fasten, lock, or make safe a second time after the original securing has been undone or compromised.

After the wind blew the tarp loose, she resecures it with extra stakes.

The term applies equally to physical fastening and to regaining control of something: The company resecures its network after the breach.
