Reducing false positives in security scanning
Most security scan findings never warrant action. Here's why scanners over-alert, what it costs teams, how Aikido's consolidation approach compares, and what actually cuts false positives.
What is AI-native SAST vs AI-augmented SAST?
AI SAST isn't one thing. Aikido bolts AI onto a rule-based Semgrep fork; AI-native tools use AI as the detection engine itself. Here's the real difference.
Why EDR and proxy tools won't stop supply chain malware
EDR and network proxies were built to watch endpoints and traffic, not evaluate what a dependency does before it runs — here's why that gap keeps letting supply chain malware through.

AI coding assistants ship code fast, but studies show nearly half contains vulnerabilities, hallucinated packages, and leaked secrets nobody reviewed.
How AI pentesting works and where it fits alongside SAST/...
AI pentesting explained: how autonomous agents test live apps, how it differs from SAST/DAST and Aikido's bolt-on approach, and where Safeguard fits in.
How to Compare SCA Offerings Before Buying in 2026
A buyer's framework for evaluating SCA products in 2026: what to test, what to ignore in vendor pitches, and how to size the operational cost honestly.
Solving The 1,000-Vulnerability Backlog Problem
How security teams escape the four-figure vulnerability backlog using reachability analysis, automated PRs, and AI-driven triage that actually scales.
CVE Fatigue: How To Stop Drowning Engineers
CVE fatigue is a productivity tax disguised as a security control. Here is how reachability filtering, auto-PRs, and AI triage restore engineering focus.
Open Source vs Commercial Security Scanners 2026
When to use Trivy, Grype, and OSV-Scanner versus commercial scanners in 2026: honest tradeoffs, integration realities, and decision criteria.
Triage Time Economics: Cost Per Finding
Most security teams have no idea what triage actually costs them. Here is how to calculate cost per finding and drive it down with reachability and AI.
Buyer Guide: Software Supply Chain Security 2026
A senior-engineer buyer guide for software supply chain security in 2026: what the categories mean, what to test, and what to ignore in vendor pitches.
