By leveraging AI Overview in Automated Newsletters, you can aggregate insights from multiple articles, ensuring your team receives concise, actionable reports on critical vulnerabilities. (Keep reading to get the full prompt).

The challenge

Vulnerability managers and cybersecurity teams need to track, analyze, and report on vulnerabilities as they emerge. However, aggregating and summarizing key details from multiple threat intelligence sources is time-consuming. Manual reporting often leads to delays, inconsistencies, and information gaps that hinder swift decision-making.

The solution

With AI Overview in Automated Newsletters, you can automate the process of generating vulnerability advisories. Feedly AI aggregates intelligence from articles saved to your Team Boards, providing a custom-structured report based on the prompt and guidelines you provide.

Why it matters

• Saves Time – Automates intelligence gathering and report generation.
• Reduces Noise – Focuses on the most relevant details, eliminating unnecessary information.
• Improves Decision-Making – Ensures your team receives accurate, timely, and actionable intelligence.

How it works

Save Relevant Articles – As new vulnerabilities are reported, save them to your Team Board in Feedly.

Run the AI Prompt – Use AI Overview in Automated Newsletters to analyze the articles and generate a vulnerability advisory.

Distribute Intelligence – Share the AI-generated report with your security teams via automated newsletters at a regular cadence or ad hoc.

Example use case: responding to a critical CVE

Imagine a zero-day vulnerability affecting a widely used application. Security teams must rapidly understand the risk and respond effectively. Instead of manually gathering fragmented information, a Vulnerability Manager can:

• Save reports and security bulletins on the CVE to Team Board.
• Run the AI Overview prompt to generate a structured Vulnerability Advisory.
• Instantly distribute the advisory to security engineers, system administrators, and executive stakeholders.
