The story behind the briefing
A daily cybersecurity newsletter, built by one person who just wanted the important news in one place.
Why I created this
Cybersecurity moves fast. Every day, I saw hundreds of new articles through RSS feeds, but most were either too technical for me at the time, not relevant, or buried between ads and distractions.
I needed a better way to stay updated. So I built Cyber Recaps, a tool that gives me the key stories, explained clearly, once a day.
Cyber Recaps has published a daily briefing since August 2025, with more than 290 editions. The newsletter goes out in English, Hebrew and Russian.
Hey, I’m Kirill
For the last seven years I have worked in SEO and web development: building sites, writing content, and creating automation systems for businesses.
Over time, I got drawn to cybersecurity. I want to help people stay safe, and to do that, I need to stay informed. That is what led me to create this newsletter, a simple, daily system to keep up with what matters.
It started as something just for me. Now it works, and I am sharing it with others.
Connect on LinkedInHow it’s made
Cyber Recaps runs on automation I built with RSS feeds, n8n, and AI, under human oversight.
Collect & filter
The system pulls new articles and alerts from trusted sources like Microsoft Security Blog, BleepingComputer, The Hacker News, and Dark Reading, then filters for what actually matters.
Summarize with AI
AI summarizes the key points in a clear, structured format, guided by prompts I wrote and checked for accuracy.
Same clear flow
Every summary follows the same shape: what happened, who it affects, why it matters, and how to prevent it.
Ready in minutes
You get a short, focused version, plus a link to the original post and extra resources when there is more worth exploring.
