About Patch Herald

Patch Herald launched in 2026 as an independent publication for small-business owners. Its coverage is organised into 6 sections: Vulnerabilities, Tech News, Cloud Security, Cyber Attacks, Data Breaches, Malware & Ransomware.

“Security news, verified and fast” is the idea behind the site: report what a primary source has confirmed, say what is still unknown, and tell readers what they can do.

Where our reporting comes from

The newsroom follows more than 150 sources, and the fastest of them are checked every 45 seconds. They include government advisories such as the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, the National Vulnerability Database, the CVE Program, vendor security bulletins and first-hand research. When we rely on another outlet's reporting, we name it and link to it.

How stories are produced

Articles are prepared with AI-assisted drafting and automated monitoring of official sources. Each draft is checked against its sources, and unsupported numbers, quotes or claims are rejected before publication. The sources are listed under every article, with the publish and update times.

Guides

Alongside the news, Patch Herald publishes 78 reference guides. Guides cover the ideas behind the headlines in plain language and show the date they were last reviewed.
