Cisco End-of-Month Security Updates Roundup for October 2024

In this blog post, we summarise key details for all Cisco security fixes released in the last month, as well as highlight some of the most critical issues. This month, four Critical Security Updates among 54 Flaws Patched in Cisco Products.

Security teams have never had more information at their fingertips, yet most of it goes unused. Alerts overwhelm inboxes. CVE feeds continue to grow. And during long buying cycles, it can be difficult to keep prospects engaged with something genuinely useful rather than generic marketing noise.

This is exactly the gap Threat Radar aims to bridge: making AppCheck’s detection intelligence more visible, more relevant, and far more valuable to both customers and prospects.

Why We’re Bringing Threat Intelligence Forward

AppCheck’s detection engine has always been at the heart of the platform. Thousands of checks run continuously, mapping known vulnerabilities, emerging exploits, and active threats. Historically, much of that intelligence sat behind the scenes. Useful for scanning, yes, but not visible enough to support the broader conversations security leaders want to have.

Threat Radar changes this by giving organisations an accessible view of the vulnerabilities and technologies that matter to them. Rather than waiting for a scheduled scan or digging through technical logs, users can explore live detection data and understand how threats are evolving in the real world.

This shift is intentional. Many larger organisations have sales and evaluation cycles that can stretch over months, often with multiple touchpoints and a proof of concept near the end. During that time, teams want meaningful updates, not boilerplate messages. Threat Radar allows AppCheck to keep that dialogue open with intelligence that actually helps them build their internal case.

How Threat Radar Works Today

Threat Radar consolidates our detection intelligence into one place, allowing users to browse vulnerabilities, explore CVEs, and see what our scanners are catching right now. The detections themselves haven’t changed — what’s changed is how accessible that information now is, and how it can support ongoing security decisions.

Over time, this will evolve into something richer. For example, the platform now gives us the foundation to let customers and prospects register the technologies they care about or run lightweight discovery scans. From there, Threat Radar can deliver targeted updates on new threats relevant to their environment, keeping them informed even before they deploy scanning.

The Start of a Bigger Journey

Threat Radar is live now and will continue to expand over the coming releases. As we build on this foundation, users will gain more personalised intelligence, deeper visibility, and a clearer understanding of how AppCheck’s detection coverage protects their estate.
