The Average Enterprise Runs 900 APIs. It Can List Maybe 600 of Them.
API attacks are climbing steeply and 87% of organisations reported an incident last year. The root cause is not weak authentication — it is that many production endpoints are on nobody's list.
Exposed .git Directories and the Git Internals That Leak Your Source
Roughly 4.96 million IPs expose .git metadata today, and over 252,000 leak live credentials in .git/config — a 2018-era bug that never went away.
Know your cloud environment: a practical asset inventory methodology
Gartner projects that through 2025, 99% of cloud security failures will be the customer's fault — almost always because an asset nobody tracked got misconfigured.
Best attack surface management (ASM) tools
A practical buyer's guide comparing top attack surface management tools and ASM platforms, with honest strengths, limitations, and evaluation criteria.
Why asset inventory should come before AppSec tooling
Only 17% of organizations can inventory 95%+ of their assets, and 69% have been breached through one they didn't know existed — start with the map, not the scanner.
A Step-by-Step Methodology for Mapping and Prioritizing Attack Surface
CVE-2023-34362 sat in one internet-facing file-transfer server and still produced thousands of downstream breaches — attack surface mapping is what catches that server before Cl0p does.
Understanding the software supply chain attack surface
SolarWinds, Log4Shell, and XZ Utils show the software supply chain attack surface is bigger than any single scan. Here's how to actually map and shrink it.
ASM vs. Penetration Testing: how they differ and work tog...
ASM and pen testing measure different things at different speeds. See how Safeguard's supply-chain-native ASM complements cloud-focused tools like Wiz—and manual testing.
Attack Surface Management Tools: 2026 comparison guide
Wiz secures your cloud footprint; Safeguard secures what ships into it. A 2026 comparison of attack surface management tools across supply chain vs. cloud scope.
Attack Surface Management (ASM): discovery, monitoring, m...
ASM isn't just cloud exposure. See why discovery, monitoring, mapping, and reduction must extend into the software supply chain—and where tools like Wiz fall short.
What is Attack Surface Management
Attack surface management explained: what it covers, how it differs from vulnerability management, and why CISA and Gartner now treat it as core AppSec.
What is an Attack Surface
An attack surface is every exposed point attackers can use to get in — code, configs, credentials, and dependencies. Here's how to define, measure, and shrink it.
