Vulnerabilities and Patches

The US government Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a number of security advisories and added to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog.

This is one of my key sites for keeping our clients up to date with vulnerabilities and patches.

Cyber Security Advisories

Not all of this software is in widespread use – as the website is built for use by the US Government and concentrates on products they use – but the information is publicly available.

Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog

The database is a quick way to find out if you are running software on your systems that is actively being exploited and what to do about it.

CISA also releases industrial control system advisories – if you are responsible for these types of systems you should monitor their news page:

My advice: Either you or your IT support need to check whether these issues impact your systems. You need to have a master document that details your systems, hardware, software, online, networks, back-ups, suppliers etc – so when cyber security (or operational) issues arise you and your support teams can quickly check if you are affected. From there you can take fast, effective action.
