Directory of Vendor Alert Subscriptions Resources

Home > Computers > Security > Advisories and Patches > Vendor Alert Subscriptions

You should be on the security-alert mailing list of the vendor of every operating system you admin. Typically these are extremely low-volume mailing lists, and applying the security patches they recommend is frequently urgent if your machine is connected to the internet.
