Open Source Vulnerability Management Tools, Compared
OSV-Scanner, Trivy, Grype, and Dependency-Check all find known CVEs for free, but they differ sharply in language coverage, database freshness, and how far they get you toward an actual fix.
The Snyk Tool: What It Does, and What It Doesn't
The Snyk tool covers SCA, container, and IaC scanning well, but its SAST depth and enterprise pricing are the two things buyers most often get wrong going in.
Application Security Testing Software: A Category Map
A clear map of the application security testing software categories — SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA, and the platforms that bundle them — and when each one actually applies.
What is a False Positive in Security Scanning
False positives waste security team hours flagging vulnerabilities that aren't actually exploitable. Here's how to spot, measure, and reduce them.

FinTech Cuts CVE Noise 80% With Reachability
An anonymized story of how a high-growth payments FinTech slashed vulnerability backlog noise by 80% using Safeguard's reachability analysis.
Reachability Noise Reduction: Findings
The Safeguard Research team ran reachability analysis across a large corpus of real codebases. This is what we learned about which CVEs actually matter.
Reachability Analysis for Go Modules in 2026
Go's static linking, vendoring, and govulncheck make reachability analysis tractable. Here is what works, what does not, and the false-positive numbers.
Next-Generation Software Composition Analysis: Beyond Dependency Lists
Traditional SCA tools tell you what's in your software. Next-gen SCA tells you what matters. Here's how the category is evolving.
