Accepting The Unfixable: A Decision Framework
Some vulnerabilities cannot be fixed in any reasonable timeframe. Here is a structured framework for accepting risk responsibly with reachability and AI evidence.
How to Run Grype in Offline/Airgap Environments
A hands-on tutorial for running Grype vulnerability scans in offline and airgapped environments, including vulnerability database hosting and CI integration.
Ageing Vulnerabilities: Fix vs Mitigate
Old vulnerabilities accumulate quietly until they become a compliance problem. Here is how to decide between fixing and mitigating, with evidence that holds up.
Exploit Chaining: A Supply Chain Perspective
How attackers chain low and medium severity flaws across dependencies to reach critical impact, and why supply chain context changes triage priorities.
Vulnerability Burndown Charts That Actually Work
Most burndown charts lie about progress. Here is how to build one that survives executive scrutiny by combining reachability, age cohorts, and inflow data.
Dataflow Analysis in Modern Codebases
Dataflow analysis is the workhorse behind most vulnerability research. Here's how it adapts to TypeScript, Rust, and the polyglot realities of modern software.
How to Build a Vulnerability SLA Dashboard
Track remediation SLAs across projects with a self-service dashboard that surfaces aging findings, breach risk, and team accountability — complete code inside.
Differential Testing for Supply Chain Vulns
Differential testing compares the behavior of multiple implementations of the same specification. In supply-chain work, it surfaces bugs that nobody else can see.
CVE Triage Is Broken. Here's a Better Workflow.
Most enterprise CVE queues are noise. KEV plus EPSS plus reachability plus policy-as-code cuts the real actionable list to a manageable few percent.
Triage Hand-Off From Security To Engineering
The handoff between security triage and engineering remediation is where most programs lose time. Here is how to fix it with context-rich PRs and AI.
