The week in security news, next to your own machines

The Security briefing tells you which actively exploited flaws reach your clients' machines. What it did not give you was the rest of the week's news: the advisory from a national CERT, the story about a product half your clients run. That is now a chapter of its own, In the news.

Where it comes from

Wegweiser reads a fixed list of public feeds every two hours, for every customer at once:

• the UK's NCSC, CERT-EU and the SANS Internet Storm Center;
• The Record, SecurityWeek, Krebs on Security and Help Net Security;
• for anyone reading in German, heise Security and the BSI's CERT-Bund advisories as well.

Each headline is shown exactly as its publisher wrote it, with a link to the original. No model rewrites or summarises anything. A short summary appears only where the publisher's licence allows reuse, which today means NCSC, CERT-EU and heise. Every source, and the terms it is used under, is listed on the data sources page.

What names your software comes first

Every headline is checked against the software on your clients' machines, by the product names a headline actually uses: "Chrome", "FortiGate", "ScreenConnect". A headline that names something you run goes to the top, with how many machines run it. Next come headlines that name only the operating system, then everything else. Ordinary words are never read as product names, so "edge devices" is not Microsoft Edge.

The Monday email lists the week's headlines that name your software, each with its source and a link.

A wide screen, used

On a 2560 pixel screen the portal used to stop at 1,600 pixels and centre itself, leaving a wide empty margin on either side. It now uses the whole window. Past 2,000 pixels, pairs of cards sit side by side rather than stretching across it:

• Dashboard: the service notices beside "This morning".
• Device page: "What changed since last cycle" beside the live vitals.
• Tenant overview: the health gauge beside what your organisations say together.

Text now fills the card it sits in, too. Paragraphs used to stop at a fixed line length, which left one word on a line of its own under a card that ran the full width.
