Microsoft publishes security news in many places: the Security Blog, a dozen Tech Community blogs, Azure Updates, the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, the Security Update Guide and hundreds of What’s New pages on Microsoft Learn that change without a new URL. SecurityNews brings those together, removes the duplicates and sorts everything by product.
It’s made for people who run security on Microsoft technology: SOC analysts and managers, detection engineers, security architects, incident responders, MSSP and MDR teams, and consultants.
What you’ll find
- News: announcements and articles from Microsoft’s security blogs, Tech Community and Azure Updates.
- Products: one page per product with its news, every documented change, roadmap items and retirements.
- Monthly updates: everything that changed in a month, per product.
- Patch Tuesday: each month’s CVEs, exploited and critical first.
- Retirements: dated end-of-support and deprecation notices.
- Roadmap: what Microsoft has announced but not yet released.
How it works
- Collect. Official feeds and APIs are checked several times a day: the Security Update Guide hourly, most blogs every two hours, Microsoft Learn pages every six.
- Detect. Learn pages are compared section by section, so a new feature entry or a move from preview to general availability is caught even when the page URL stays the same. Formatting edits are ignored.
- Follow links. Pages and posts that Microsoft links to from What’s New entries are fetched too, so related announcements aren’t missed.
- Classify. Each item gets one product and the release status Microsoft states. Cross-posts become one item with all official references attached.
- Link back. Excerpts are short pointers. The original publication is always one click away.
The details are in the editorial methodology, and every source with its current health is on the sources page.
What we don’t do
We don’t republish Microsoft’s articles, invent release dates, or call something released before Microsoft does. Automatically collected items aren’t presented as journalism; where SecurityNews publishes its own analysis, it is marked as such and lists its sources.
