If you put an end to a breach (in the sense of "unauthorized access", for example to a computer server), what verb could I use? Maybe, 'seal'? Or maybe simply 'close'?

You can say
We have patched the breach.
This meaning of patch is in common use in computer technology. It is a noun and also a verb, as Lexico shows:
patch
TRANSITIVE VERB4 Computing
Correct, enhance, or modify (a routine or program) by inserting a patch.
Microsoft's monthly system update schedule is called Patch Tuesday.
You could just say "we have put an end to the breach".
However, you could also say that you have secured the system.
