The US government Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) site is one of the “go to places” for me and my team to keep up with vulnerabilities in our client’s software. Although aimed at the US Government and US users it is still really useful.
The alerts cover both software and hardware.
With yesterday being Microsoft Patch Tuesday many companies take the opportunity to release their updates on the same day.
Here is the Microsoft Patch Tuesday alert:
Microsoft Releases Security Updates for Multiple Products | CISA
…and others:
The Apache Software Foundation Updates Struts 2 | CISA
Adobe Releases Security Updates for Multiple Products | CISA
This is probably by chance but Apple released their updates on Patch Tuesday as well:
Apple Releases Security Updates for Multiple Products | CISA
Known Exploited Vulnerabilities
The CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog is also a good source of information on vulnerabilities that are actually being exploited, with links to mitigation:

Industry
CISA also releases industrial control system advisories – if you are responsible for these types of systems you should monitor their news page:
…and more
They also issue more detailed documents on specific attacks – I do not often link to these as they often aimed at the US Government offices however the following were co-authored with other international cyber security agencies including the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), so I thought they would be useful:

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.
