Docker Hub typosquatting of official images
Attackers are cloning popular Docker Official Images under lookalike names, tricking `docker pull` into fetching malware instead of trusted base images.
Container image supply chain attack trends
Container images have become the software supply chain's most contested attack surface. A look at the xz-utils backdoor, registry-borne malware campaigns, and the detection gaps behind them.
Alpine vs Debian base image vulnerability comparison
A 2026 look at Alpine vs. Debian base image CVEs shows raw vulnerability counts mislead — patch cadence and reachability matter more than distro choice.
Outdated container images still running in production
New industry data shows most production containers still run on stale, vulnerable base images months after fixes ship -- here's why, and how to close the gap.
Container registry credential leak trends
2026 data shows container registry credential leaks accelerating as CI pipelines speed up — and why layer-aware scanning, not just final-image checks, is now essential.
Distroless image security trend report
Distroless adoption is up nearly 3x since 2024, but Safeguard's 2026 scan data shows SBOM gaps, missed dependencies, and inflated CVE lists still undermine the hardening it promises.
Kubernetes Helm chart vulnerability trends
New Safeguard research finds most public Helm charts ship risky defaults and stale image pins—here's what the data shows and how to fix it.
NuGet package vulnerability trends report
NuGet's growing attack surface: typosquatting, steganographic malware, and patch lag are reshaping .NET supply chain risk in 2026 — here's what the data shows.
Most vulnerable .NET libraries report
Safeguard's H1 2026 analysis of 41,000+ .NET repos reveals a small cluster of NuGet packages driving nearly half of all vulnerability findings—and most aren't even reachable.
LLM Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Malicious model files, poisoned datasets, and compromised ML packages are the new software supply chain frontier. Here is how these LLM attacks actually work.
NuGet dependency confusion risk report
NuGet's default feed-resolution behavior keeps dependency confusion risk elevated across .NET orgs. Here's what the incident history shows, and how to close the gap.
