What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a way to follow updates from websites without visiting them individually. Instead of checking dozens of bookmarks every day, an RSS reader collects new articles from all your favorite sites in one place.
Think of it like a personal newspaper that automatically fills itself with articles from sources you choose. There are no algorithms deciding what you see, no ads injected into your feed, and no account or personal information required.
- Stay on top of vulnerability disclosures and security advisories as they happen
- Follow multiple vendor blogs, threat intelligence feeds, and news outlets in one place
- No social media account required — your reading list stays private
- Works offline in many readers — catch up on articles during travel or downtime
How to Subscribe
Getting started takes about two minutes. Here's what to do:
Step 1: Choose an RSS Reader
An RSS reader is an app that fetches and displays articles from feeds you subscribe to. Pick one from the recommendations below, or use one you already have.
If you're not sure which to pick, Feedly is a good starting point — it's free, works in your browser, and has mobile apps.
Step 2: Add the CSOH Feed
In your RSS reader, look for an option like "Add Feed," "Add Subscription," or a + button. Then paste this URL:
Most readers will automatically detect the feed name and start pulling in the latest articles.
Step 3: Start Reading
That's it! New cloud security articles will appear in your reader automatically. Most readers check for updates every 30 minutes to an hour, so you'll always have fresh content waiting for you.
