False positives vs. false negatives in security scanning
False positives waste engineering time; false negatives cause breaches. A verifiable, metrics-based look at how Safeguard and Checkmarx approach scan accuracy.
Checkmarx vs Veracode: platform comparison
Checkmarx and Veracode both scan code for vulnerabilities. Here is how the platforms compare, and where software supply chain security fits in.
Interactive Application Security Testing Tools: How IAST Works and When to Use It
IAST watches your running application from the inside during normal testing, catching real, reachable flaws that static scanners can only guess at.
Code Scanning Tools: How to Choose and Use One That Works
A code scanning tool automatically inspects your source and dependencies for vulnerabilities. Here is how the main types differ and how to wire one into CI without drowning in noise.
Checkmarx API Security: What It Does and How to Use It
Checkmarx API Security discovers your real API footprint — including shadow and zombie endpoints — and correlates static and dynamic findings. Here's how it fits an AppSec program.
Working With the Semgrep API: Pulling Findings and Automating Scans
The Semgrep API lets you list deployments, pull findings, and manage projects and tokens programmatically. Here is how authentication works and how to use it well.
DevSecOps and CI/CD pipeline security
CI/CD pipelines are now a prime attack surface. Here's what Checkmarx's SAST-first approach misses, and how Safeguard secures the full pipeline.
Reducing developer friction in AppSec adoption
Why traditional SAST tooling like Checkmarx creates developer friction, what it costs engineering teams, and how to build developer experience application security that ships.
What is Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
SAST scans source code for flaws before deployment. Learn how it works, where Checkmarx-style tools fall short on supply chain risk, and how Safeguard closes the gap.
Static Analysis Tools compared
Veracode built its name on SAST, DAST, and SCA for application code. Safeguard focuses static analysis on the software supply chain. Here's how the two actually differ.
What is AI Code Remediation?
AI code remediation turns vulnerability findings into ready-to-merge patches. Here's how it works, where Veracode's approach falls short, and how Safeguard closes the gap.
OWASP Secure Coding Practices: A Working Checklist
OWASP secure coding practices boil down to a handful of checks that catch most real-world vulnerabilities — here's the checklist teams actually use, not the full 200-item reference.
