The problem it solves

Threats and brand mentions move fast on social media, but you can't watch X all day for the one post that matters. By the time you stumble across a mention of a breach or vulnerability tied to your company, you may already be behind.

Who it fits

Security teams or company leaders who need to know immediately when their brand is mentioned alongside a security threat.

How it works

  1. X is continuously searched for your chosen keywords, like your company name or a known vulnerability
  2. Post text and link are extracted from each matching mention
  3. The mention is checked for relevance and spam before it moves forward
  4. A Slack message is sent to your security channel with the post details
What you get

Brand mentions caught before they become incidents

You hear about security-related mentions of your brand the moment they appear online, keeping your team ahead of any developing story.

What you get

An instant Slack alert with the details of each new critical vulnerability from CISA.

What you need

An X (Twitter) developer account and a Slack workspace.

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.
