Show HN: Cyber Pulse. AI pipeline for triage and alerting on cyber news/Intel
TL;DR
I work in cyber security and built this android app to help me keep up to date with the latest news stories and summarise the most important information. It provides two executive summaries per day and alerts for critical news throughout. I’m using Gemini Pro 3 to analyse recent articles from a list of trusted sources. It identifies the 5 highest priority stories, considering things like if a vulnerability is being actively exploited, novelty and breadth. If CVEs are identified, it will check for CISA KEV status, EPSS score and if POCs are available on GitHub. It then provides an overall executive summary plus analysis for the top stories, including details, affected systems, potential impact and mitigation actions. The brief is then passed to Gemini again for verification and fact checking against the source articles and other CVE data retrieved to correct any potential hallucinations.
Nauti's Take
Cyber Pulse tackles a real pain point: security professionals drown in CVE alerts daily, and AI-assisted triage can meaningfully cut response time for stretched teams. The risk is real too — AI summaries may miss context or misrate severity, which matters critically when a vulnerability is being actively exploited.
Best used as a first-pass filter, not as a substitute for direct source verification on high-severity CVEs.
