Security Vulnerabilities at a Glance

We support multiple platforms.

Everything from our SBS based networks, to W2K3 Web Edition based hosting services that have MySQL/PHP running on top of them.

Because we see such a variety of different products at our client's locations as well as within our own orgnanization, it is a good idea to keep an eye on what products are vulnerable to what exploits and their patch status.

Here is a broad list of vulnerabilities: Security Focus Vulnerabilities List. The list is searchable and can be delimited by manufacturer, title, and version.

Microsoft Specific:

• The Microsoft Security Response Center (RSS capable).
• Microsoft Security Advisories (RSS capable).
• Microsoft Technical Security Notifications (List of Microsoft Security RSS Feeds).

It was a little tougher to find security related product news on Apple's site. This is definitely one area that Apple can learn from the Linux, *BSDs, and Microsoft camps who have dedicated security sites for their specific products.

From what can be found on Apple's site:

• Apple Security Updates.
• Apple's Security-Announce information list. This is a direct link to the RSS feed as the actual list didn't seem to come up via the Apple link.
