Workflow walkthrough

How to use BrieflySec

Triage cybersecurity news faster with a repeatable workflow: open a clustered story, pick the right summary lens, and train personalization with one click.

Step-by-step (with screenshots)

Each step is tied to a decision: what to read, what to ignore, and what to do next.

Step 1 — Start with the feed

Scan impact scores and clustered stories

Open the feed and prioritize by impact. Clustering means you don’t read the same story 5 times across sources.

Step 2 — Open a story

Use the TL;DR to decide: investigate or move on

Start with a 30-second summary: key facts, sources, and campaign context. If it’s relevant, drill deeper; if not, move on.

Step 3 — Switch lenses

Pick the right summary for your role

Use Detailed for depth, Red Team for exploitation perspective, Blue Team for defensive actions, Architect for infrastructure implications, and Executive for leadership briefing.

Step 4 — Train personalization

Upvote signal, downvote noise

Your votes teach BrieflySec what matters to you. Over time, similar stories rank higher and irrelevant topics fade out automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers before you try the workflow.

Do I have to configure anything to get value from BrieflySec?

No. You can start reading immediately. As you upvote and downvote stories, BrieflySec learns what you care about and improves ranking automatically.

How does BrieflySec reduce duplicate headlines across sources?

BrieflySec clusters related coverage of the same CVE or campaign into one story card with source attribution, so you read once and still see all sources.

What are role-based summaries?

Each story includes multiple AI views (TL;DR, Detailed, Red Team, Blue Team, Architect, Executive) so different roles can get the right takeaways quickly.
