Desktop Monitoring and Notifications for CISA KEV
A new tool called KEV Monitor has been developed to track changes in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. This lightweight service, written in Rust, provides desktop notifications and generates Markdown reports for new entries. It is available for both Windows and Linux systems, offering features like periodic polling and SHA-1 change detection.
- ▪KEV Monitor is a background service that monitors the CISA KEV catalog for updates.
- ▪It generates reports and sends desktop notifications when new vulnerabilities are detected.
