How the security industry is scaling partnerships for AI risk
No vendor covers model security, agent runtime policy, supply-chain risk, and code-level AppSec alone — partner-sourced ARR at one major vendor grew over 6x from 2023 to 2025.
Insecure Hash Algorithm Usage in Application Code
MD5 and SHA-1 collisions were proven broken decades ago, yet they still power passwords, checksums, and signatures in production code today. Here's why—and how to find them.
Insecure Randomness in Security-Sensitive Code
A single deleted line broke Debian's OpenSSL keys for two years. We break down real insecure randomness vulnerabilities and how Safeguard catches weak PRNGs before attackers do.
Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data
Missing encryption of sensitive data (CWE-311) drove breaches from Equifax to CVS Health. Here's how it happens across the software supply chain and how to catch it early.
Cleartext Sensitive Information in Cookies
Cleartext sensitive data in cookies (CWE-315) quietly enables account takeover and IDOR. Here's how it happens, why it survives review, and how Safeguard catches it.
Unrestricted File Upload Vulnerabilities
Unrestricted file upload flaws let attackers turn a simple upload form into remote code execution. Here's how real-world CVEs happened, and how to prevent them.
Insecure Temporary File Creation
Insecure temp file creation (CWE-377) still causes real CVEs today — from JUnit4 to npm's tmp package. Here's how the race condition works and how to stop it.
Race Conditions (TOCTOU) in Application Code
From Dirty COW to runc's CVE-2021-30465, TOCTOU race conditions keep slipping past code review. Here's why they're invisible to standard tooling — and how to catch them.
Sensitive Information Exposure in Error Messages
Stack traces, SQL errors, and debug pages routinely leak credentials, paths, and library versions to attackers. Here's how CWE-209 exposure happens and how to close it.
Logging Vulnerabilities: Log Injection and Sensitive Data...
Log4Shell, plaintext password logs, and CRLF injection show how logging vulnerabilities turn debug output into a full-blown breach vector for attackers.
SQL Injection Prevention in Java with PreparedStatement
Java teams still ship SQL injection bugs despite PreparedStatement being free and built into the JDK since 1997. Here is how it works and where it fails.
SQL Injection Prevention in Python with Parameterized Que...
SQL injection remains widespread in Python apps despite decades-old fixes. Here's how parameterized queries actually prevent it, and where ORMs still leave gaps.
