Included as part of your AUSCERT Membership, our Vulnerability Management Service assists your organisation in identifying, assessing, and mitigating weaknesses in computer systems, applications, and networks to enhance overall security. As an independent, not-for-profit organisation with over 30 years of industry experience, we provide trusted advice on applying security measures such as patching and best practices to help minimise the risk of exploitation
AUSCERT’s Security Bulletins deliver timely, curated vulnerability intelligence to support proactive risk management. Members can create multiple customised email or RSS subscriptions tailored to their operating systems and environments. Each bulletin offers a consistently formatted summary, CVE identifiers, CVSS scores, and expert remediation advice to streamline patching efforts and prioritise threats effectively. Published daily and backed by AUSCERT’s specialised vulnerability research, this service ensures members stay ahead of emerging risks with reliable, actionable information.
MSINs are customised security reports tailored to your organisation, delivering daily notifications about relevant vulnerabilities, incidents, and recommended mitigation strategies. You will only receive an MSIN if an incident in the past 24 hours involves one or more of your registered IPs or domains. You can also mute specific IPs or domains if alerts are no longer needed. This intelligence-led service enables members to respond swiftly and effectively to threats that directly impact their organisation.
Critical MSINs are high-priority alerts issued when serious vulnerabilities such as zero-day threats are detected on domains or IPs registered to your organisation. These targeted notifications are sent as issues emerge and are clearly flagged for urgent action to help mitigate potential risks quickly. Members can also opt to receive SMS alerts for the most critical vulnerabilities, ensuring rapid awareness and response.
Alternatively, members can subscribe to receive the Daily Bulletin Digest. This is a single email issued at the end of each business day that summarises all the bulletins published by AUSCERT that day, with hyperlinks to view each bulletin.
The analyst team sends Early Warning SMS alerts to designated contacts* listed on your membership account for critical vulnerabilities requiring immediate action to protect your organisation’s security. These alerts advise that a Critical MSIN email has been issued so that you can review the details and take action.
