A new critical CVE drops. Twitter is on fire. Security blogs are rushing to cover it.
You spend 20 minutes reading about it. Then you realize: it affects a Linux kernel version you don't run. Or a PHP framework you've never used. Or infrastructure that doesn't exist in your environment.
That's 20 minutes you'll never get back. And it happens multiple times a day.
What if you could filter out irrelevant threats automatically?
The Problem with Generic Threat Feeds
Most threat intelligence is one-size-fits-all. Every CVE. Every breach. Every malware campaign. Dumped into a feed for you to sort through.
But your organization doesn't run every technology. You have a specific stack. Specific infrastructure. Specific concerns.
Why should you wade through Windows vulnerabilities when you're a Linux shop? Why read about Apache exploits when you run Nginx? Why care about WordPress RCEs when you don't host a single WordPress site?
You shouldn't. And now you don't have to.
Tech Stack Profile
{P}eelSec lets you define exactly what you run. Once.
120+ Technologies
We've built a comprehensive taxonomy covering:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Cloud Providers | AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, Cloudflare |
| Operating Systems | Linux (distros), Windows (versions), macOS |
| Databases | PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch |
| Languages & Runtimes | Python, Node.js, Go, Java, .NET, PHP |
| Web Servers | Nginx, Apache, IIS, Caddy |
| Containers | Docker, Kubernetes, ECS, OpenShift |
| Identity | Okta, Azure AD, Auth0, Keycloak |
| Security Tools | CrowdStrike, Splunk, Sentinel, Carbon Black |
And dozens more. If you run it, we probably track it.
18 Industry Sectors
Beyond technology, threats are often industry-specific. A healthcare breach matters if you're in healthcare. A financial sector APT campaign matters if you're a bank.
Select your industry:
- Healthcare
- Finance & Banking
- Government
- Education
- Retail & E-commerce
- Manufacturing
- Energy & Utilities
- And 11 more...
How It Works
Setting Up Your Profile
- Go to Team Settings in the sidebar
- Select the Tech Stack tab
- Choose your technologies from the categorized list
- Select your industry sector
- Click Save
Takes about 2 minutes. Do it once.
Automatic Matching
Once your profile is set, {P}eelSec automatically analyzes every incoming threat:
- CVE affects AWS Lambda? Matched if Lambda is in your stack.
- Article discusses Kubernetes vulnerabilities? Matched if K8s is in your stack.
- Breach targets healthcare organizations? Matched if healthcare is your sector.
Visual Indicators
In your threat feed, matching articles get a badge:
Affects Your Stack - This threat directly impacts technology you run.
No more guessing. No more reading articles to figure out if they matter. The relevance is clear at a glance.
Filtering by Relevance
The magic happens when you filter.
Show Only Relevant Threats
Toggle the "Affects My Stack" filter. Instantly, your feed shrinks to only the threats that matter to your organization.
1000 articles in the feed? Maybe 150 actually affect you. Now you see only those 150.
Stack Updates Feed
We created an entire dedicated feed just for your stack: Stack Updates.
This feed shows only:
- CVEs affecting your technologies
- Security advisories from your vendors
- Release notes for products you use
- Configuration guidance for your stack
It's like having a personalized security newsletter that updates automatically.
Real Scenarios
Scenario 1: The Linux Kernel CVE
A critical Linux kernel vulnerability drops. CVSS 9.8. Everyone's talking about it.
Without tech stack filtering: You read the article. You check the affected versions. You realize your kernel version isn't affected. 15 minutes wasted.
With tech stack filtering: The article doesn't show "Affects Your Stack" badge. You skim the title, know it's not relevant, move on. 10 seconds.
Scenario 2: The Cloud Provider Breach
AWS announces a security incident. Major news.
Without tech stack filtering: You panic. Read everything. Then remember your infrastructure is on GCP. False alarm.
With tech stack filtering: AWS isn't in your profile. The article doesn't match. You see it in the feed but immediately know it's not your problem.
Scenario 3: The Weekly Brief
Your CISO wants a weekly summary of relevant threats.
Without tech stack filtering: You manually review hundreds of articles. Build a spreadsheet. Spend half a day every week.
With tech stack filtering: Enable the Weekly Intel Brief. Every Monday, you get an AI-generated summary of threats that actually affected your stack. Forward it to the CISO. Done.
The Math
Average security team: Reviews 50+ articles per day.
Relevance rate without filtering: ~15-20% actually matter.
Time spent on irrelevant articles: 40+ minutes daily.
With tech stack filtering:
- See only the ~15% that matters
- Save 40+ minutes daily
- 3+ hours per week
- 150+ hours per year
That's almost a month of work hours. Recovered.
Team-Wide Profile
For teams, the tech stack profile is shared across all members.
- Admin sets up the profile once
- All team members see the same relevance badges
- Everyone filters by the same stack
- Consistent prioritization across the team
No more "did you see that article?" when half the team already dismissed it as irrelevant.
Keeping It Current
Your stack changes. So should your profile.
Added Kubernetes last quarter? Add it to your profile. Migrated off Oracle? Remove it. Switched from AWS to GCP? Update accordingly.
The profile takes 30 seconds to modify. Keep it current, and your filtering stays accurate.
Try It
- Go to Team Settings
- Select your technologies
- Choose your industry
- Save
Then watch your threat feed transform. Relevant articles highlighted. Irrelevant noise filtered out.
Because you shouldn't have to read about every vulnerability in existence. Just the ones that can actually hurt you.
