The Precursor Brief is a free weekly email from Precursor Intelligence. It covers the week's most important threats, so you can keep up without reading every security headline. It is written for business owners, IT teams and security teams, and all you need to sign up is your email address.
Each issue opens with the week's headline numbers, then goes section by section. Every item says what to do about it, and a section is left out on a week when there is nothing worth saying.
The flaws attackers are using right now.
Flaws newly confirmed as being exploited this week, and what to do about each one.
The flaws attackers are hitting most often.
Flaws whose attack activity jumped well above its usual level this week.
Flaws being exploited that have not yet made the official exploited lists, so you can patch ahead of them.
Early signs of what comes next.
The flaws whose likelihood of being exploited rose most this week.
What attackers are scanning the internet for.
The malware families most active this week and the infrastructure behind them.
Compromised or malicious software packages, on the weeks there are any.
Context, so the week makes sense.
The week at a glance, at the top of every issue.
A short note up front on the one story that matters most this week.
The week's most important security news, summarised.
A short view on what it all means and what to do next.
Know which threats are worth a word with your IT people, without reading every security headline.
A short list of what to patch or check this week, with the action spelled out for each.
The week's exploitation, malware and attacker scanning in one place, to brief from or check against your own view.
You sign up with your email address and the Brief arrives once a week. There is no account to create and nothing to install.
Your email address is the only thing we ask for. You do not need a Precursor Intelligence account.
A short check that you are human keeps bots off the list. Most of the time you will not even see it.
The week's most important threats, in one email.
What you get: one weekly email on what attackers are doing everywhere, and what to do about it.
What you get: the threats that touch your software and your business, ranked so you know what to fix first.
Once a week. It is a weekly roundup, not a stream of alerts.
No. The Brief covers the threats everyone faces, so it is useful on its own. An account adds the part about you: your software, your domains and what is exposed online.
No. Platform alerts are about the software and domains you track, and arrive by email, in the app or by webhook as soon as we spot something that affects you. The Brief is a weekly summary of the wider picture.
The week's headline numbers, then the flaws newly confirmed as exploited, the ones attackers are hitting most or suddenly much more, exploited flaws not yet on the official lists, the biggest movers in likelihood of attack, what attackers are scanning for, trending malware, any supply-chain incidents, the week's security news and a short take on what it all means. Every item says what to do. It covers the wider picture, not your own organisation.
You get a shorter Brief. A section is left out when there is nothing worth saying, rather than padded.
