Alert Slack instantly on new CISA vulnerability warnings

Watches the CISA vulnerability feed and sends your security team a Slack alert the moment one is published.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Feed checked again next cycle.

The problem it solves

New critical vulnerabilities get published constantly, and missing one that affects your systems can be costly. Checking the CISA feed by hand throughout the day isn't realistic when you have everything else on your plate.

Who it fits

IT and security teams responsible for patching critical vulnerabilities quickly.

How it works

  1. The CISA vulnerability RSS feed is checked continuously
  2. New alerts are formatted into a clear notification message
  3. Irrelevant or invalid entries are filtered out
  4. A Slack message is sent to your security channel with the details
What you get

Critical vulnerabilities flagged before they're exploited

Your security team learns about new critical vulnerabilities the moment they're published, giving them a head start on patching.

What you get

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

What you need

A Slack workspace; no paid API key is required for the CISA feed.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
