RSS Feeds
RSS Feeds provide a consolidated view of the information in the form of feeds, received from different RSS sources configured in the Analyst Portal. Analysts can leverage this information in the Collaborate application and create alerts from it.
Feeds are classified into various categories based on the type of information they provide. Some of the system categories include Vulnerabilities, Security News, Threat Advisories, Security & Risk Management, and more. You can view different feeds based on these categories. Additionally, you can add custom categories in Settings > Advisory Settings > Advisory Category.
