Use of Components with Known Vulnerabilities
Equifax lost 147M records to one unpatched library. Here's what "components with known vulnerabilities" means and how reachability analysis fixes the triage problem.
What is Container Security
Container security protects images, runtimes, orchestration, and hosts. Here's what it covers, why 87% of images ship with critical CVEs, and how to fix it.
What is Kubernetes Security
Kubernetes security spans four layers — cloud, cluster, container, code — and misconfiguration, not novel exploits, causes most real-world incidents.
What is an API Gateway and Its Security Role
An API gateway centralizes auth, routing, and rate limiting for every request — get it wrong and, as T-Mobile and Optus learned, millions of records leak.
What is CI/CD Pipeline Security
CI/CD pipeline security explained: how SolarWinds, Codecov, CircleCI, and tj-actions were breached, and concrete steps to lock down your build pipeline.
Container Security: Why Reachability Analysis Changes Everything
Stop chasing phantom vulnerabilities. Learn how reachability analysis reduces CVE noise by 80% and focuses remediation on what actually matters.
JavaScript Security Explained
JavaScript security means managing three attack surfaces: runtime bugs, browser XSS, and npm supply chain compromise — the last of which caused 2025's biggest incidents.
Node.js Security Best Practices
Node.js supply chain attacks like event-stream, ua-parser-js, and Shai-Hulud show why dependency depth is the real risk -- here's what actually reduces it.
Python Security Explained
How Python's install-time code execution and open PyPI namespace fuel real supply chain attacks — and what actually reduces the risk.
Java Security Explained
Java security failures like Log4Shell exposed 3 billion devices — here's why Java's dependency depth makes it uniquely risky, and how to fix it fast.
Rust Security Explained
Rust kills most memory-safety bugs, but crates.io supply chain attacks and CVE-2024-24576 prove "written in Rust" isn't a security guarantee.
C/C++ Security Explained
C/C++ still cause ~70% of critical CVEs. From Heartbleed to the xz backdoor, here's why memory bugs persist and how to find exploitable ones fast.
