The AWS shared responsibility model explained
AWS secures the cloud; you secure what's in it. Here's exactly where that line falls across EC2, RDS, Lambda, and EKS -- with real breach examples.
Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) security
A secure SDLC needs more than periodic scans. See where Veracode's upload-and-scan model leaves supply chain gaps, and how continuous, provenance-aware security closes them.
How to secure an Amazon S3 bucket
S3 misconfigurations have caused breaches from Verizon to Pegasus Airlines. Here's what actually secures a bucket—defaults, policies, encryption, and monitoring that hold.
API Scanner Tools: What to Look For
An API scanner tool needs to do more than replay a Postman collection against your endpoints. Here's what actually separates a useful API scanner from one that generates noise.
Vulnerability Scanner Tools: how they work
A breakdown of how SAST, DAST, SCA, and container vulnerability scanner tools actually work, where Veracode fits, and why false positives remain the industry's biggest problem.
AWS IAM permissions boundaries best practices
How AWS IAM permissions boundaries cap delegated identities, differ from SCPs, and where teams get privilege escalation wrong.
Web Application Security Standards overview
A breakdown of OWASP, NIST SSDF, and PCI DSS 4.0 web application security standards, where Veracode's scanning model covers them, and where supply-chain gaps remain.
Top 10 Azure security risks and prevention
Real Azure breaches — BlueBleed, ChaosDB, OMIGOD, Midnight Blizzard — trace back to storage misconfigs, identity sprawl, and exposed secrets, not zero-days.
OWASP Testing Tools and Methodology
OWASP testing tools cover the methodology; Veracode wraps part of it commercially. Neither was built for supply chain risk — here's where the gaps are and how to close them.
Achieving PCI DSS compliance through AppSec testing
PCI DSS 4.0 made application security testing mandatory, not optional. Here's what auditors check, where scanner-only programs fail, and how to close the gaps.

A mechanical look at how Snyk Code's semantic analysis engine parses source into a code model, tracks data flow across files, and prioritizes vulnerability findings.
Inside DeepCode AI: how Snyk Code's ML models are trained...
How Snyk's DeepCode AI turns millions of open-source commit fixes into the symbolic-AI and ML models powering Snyk Code's vulnerability detection and autofixes.
