State of Open Source Security Report Overview
Open source vulnerabilities tripled in six years, but 70-85% aren't even reachable. A data-driven look at the real state of open source security in 2026.
State of Cloud Security Report Overview
This year's cloud security reports point to the same conclusion: detection isn't the bottleneck anymore — identity sprawl, supply chain risk, and slow remediation are.
State of Agentic AI Adoption Report Overview
Safeguard's State of Agentic AI Adoption Report finds 71% of enterprises now run agents with production access, outpacing identity, SBOM, and reachability controls.
