RSS Security Notification

In today’s digital landscape, companies are constantly exposed to cybersecurity threats. To detect security risks early and respond quickly, an automated solution was implemented to process and distribute security alerts. Using Microsoft Power Automate, the system retrieves new security notifications from the CERT-Bund RSS feed every three hours. Critical alerts are automatically filtered, assessed, and forwarded to the appropriate decision-makers.

Whats the challenge

Before automation, monitoring security alerts was a manual process. 

  • Security alerts had to be reviewed and assessed manually at regular intervals. 
  • Critical information could be overlooked or delayed in processing. 
  • There was no structured escalation process for severe threats. 
  • Information distribution to relevant teams was inconsistent. 

These challenges resulted in security risks not always being detected and addressed in a timely manner. 

How do we help them ?

By implementing a Power Automate solution, the entire process was automated: 

  1. Automated Retrieval: A workflow runs every three hours to fetch the latest security alerts from the CERT-Bund RSS feed.
  2. Dynamic Filtering: Alerts classified as “Very High” or “High” risk are identified.
  3. Efficient Decision-Making:
    • For “Very High” alerts, an approval request is automatically sent to the CTO and CEO.
    • If marked relevant, a targeted notification is sent to the CTO, CEO, and administration.
    • If a reminder is needed, an email is sent to the entire company.
  4. Optimized Information Distribution:
    High-risk alerts are accumulated and, if necessary, sent as a summarized notification to the relevant decision-makers. 

This solution significantly improved response times for critical security alerts, ensuring that all relevant stakeholders are informed promptly. It also strengthened the company’s cybersecurity strategy and enabled a proactive approach to potential threats. 

The Result and Outlook

The automation has led to significant improvements in handling security incidents. Key benefits include: 

  • Faster decision-making: Critical threats are forwarded to the right people within minutes.
  • Reduced manual effort: IT security personnel no longer need to manually monitor RSS feeds.
  • Improved transparency and traceability: All security-critical decisions are documented within Microsoft Approval.
  • More efficient communication: Relevant information is automatically and precisely distributed to the appropriate teams and stakeholders.

With this solution, insinno has enhanced its security infrastructure, ensuring a proactive response to cybersecurity threats.
