When is a CVE not a CVE?
Not all CVEs are equal: NVD's 2024 backlog, disputed curl CVEs, and duplicate OpenSSL bugs show why CVE quality varies wildly.
Vulnerability vs weakness: CVE vs CWE explained
CVE identifies one specific vulnerability; CWE identifies the weakness pattern behind it. Here's how the two taxonomies connect and why both matter.
Snyk Alternatives in 2026: 8 Options Compared
An honest, opinionated guide to the best Snyk alternatives in 2026 — Endor Labs, Socket, Mend, Aikido, Semgrep, Sonatype, Trivy, and Safeguard — with a fair blurb and a 'best for' line for each, plus where reachability and remediation actually matter.
The CWE Top 25 most dangerous software weaknesses
MITRE's 2023 CWE Top 25 ranks the software weaknesses behind 43,996 CVEs. Here's how it's scored, what moved, and how to prioritize fixes.
Reachability Analysis in 2025: Separating Exploitable Vulnerabilities from Noise
Reachability analysis determines whether a vulnerable function is actually called by your application. The technology has matured from research concept to production tool. Here is how it works and where it falls short.
Runtime Reachability Analysis: Cutting Through Vulnerabil...
Most CVE findings are noise. Here's how runtime reachability analysis separates exploitable risk from theoretical severity, and why CVSS alone can't prioritize your patch queue.
Best DevSecOps tools to secure the SDLC
Comparing the best DevSecOps tools to secure the SDLC: Mend.io's SCA-first platform vs Safeguard's reachability-driven, supply-chain-wide approach.
Reachability analysis for prioritizing vulnerable depende...
Most flagged CVEs in your dependency tree are never executed. Here's how reachability analysis application security separates exploitable risk from noise—and how Safeguard compares to Mend.io.
10 dimensions of Python static analysis
Python static analysis spans ten distinct techniques, from AST linting to reachability analysis — most teams run only two or three, missing real exploitable risk.
Claude, GPT, and Coding Harness Security: Comparing Model...
Claude and GPT both write vulnerable code by default in coding harnesses. Comparing model behavior, then Safeguard's approach versus Endor Labs' reachability-first SCA.
Endor Labs Alternatives: Evaluating SCA and Reachability ...
A practical, verification-first comparison of Safeguard and Endor Labs on reachability methodology, ecosystem coverage, and workflow fit for SCA buyers.
Endor Labs vs Safeguard: Reachability-Based SCA Compared
How Endor Labs and Safeguard both use reachability analysis to cut SCA noise, and where their scope and approach to supply chain security diverge.
