CVE Alert
New security vulnerabilities are published every day. If you don’t know which ones affect the software and hardware you run, you can’t patch or plan. This page explains what CVEs are, why that matters, and how CVE Alert helps you stay informed without the manual work.
What are CVEs?
CVE stands for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. It’s a public catalog of known security issues in software and hardware. Each entry has an ID (like CVE-2024-1234), a description of the problem, and often a severity score. Researchers and vendors publish CVEs so you can see what might affect the products you use—and then patch, mitigate, or plan accordingly.
Why does it matter?
If you don’t know that a CVE affects something in your environment, you can’t act on it. Unpatched systems stay exposed. Compliance and audit expectations often require you to track and address known vulnerabilities. Staying on top of CVEs helps you reduce risk and respond before an issue turns into an incident.
How does CVE Alert help?
CVE Alert watches the official CVE list for you. You tell us which vendors and products you care about. When a new CVE is published that matches your subscriptions, we send you an email. You can also search and browse CVEs in the tool—severity, description, affected products—so you have the details you need to decide what to do next. No more manually checking databases or hoping you didn’t miss something.
