The problem it solves

You don't have time to check vendor security pages every day, so patches can sit unapplied for weeks without anyone noticing. A missed update can leave your systems exposed until something goes wrong.

Who it fits

Best for a business owner or IT-responsible operator who manages their own software tools and can't monitor vendor security pages daily.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically on a schedule you set, such as once a day
  2. Checks the vendor's security page for new update alerts
  3. Compares against previously seen alerts to spot anything new
  4. Sends you a notification the moment a new alert appears
What you get

Security alerts caught the day they post

You get notified the moment a new security update is released, so you're never the last to know.

What you get

A timely alert whenever a new security update is available, without you having to check yourself.

What you need

Access to the vendor's security update page and a way to receive notifications, such as email.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
