Reducing false positives in SAST and SCA tools
NIST benchmark data puts some SAST false-positive rates near 78%. Reachability analysis and contextual triage are how teams cut that noise without missing real risk.
Scanning AI-Generated Code Before It Merges: Wiring Scanners into Coding Assistants with MCP
Research found ~40% of Copilot suggestions were vulnerable, and devs using AI assistants trusted their code more. MCP lets you scan before merge.
A prioritization framework for triaging security alerts at scale
Only 2.6% of CVEs tracked in 2019 saw real-world exploitation, per Kenna Security/Cyentia — yet most teams still triage by CVSS alone. Here's a better framework.
The real ROI of shifting left: what early flaw detection actually saves
A 2025 data breach averages $4.44M globally and $10.22M in the US. Here's a defensible cost model for catching flaws before they ship, not after.
Known Vulnerabilities in Dependencies: Detection and Triage
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies aren't a detection problem — they're a triage problem. Here's how CVEs get exploited, why CVSS alone misleads, and how to prioritize fixes.
AI Agents and Supply Chain Security FAQ: 2026 Answers
Answers on where AI agents meet software supply chain security — the dependencies agents pull in, hallucinated packages, MCP servers as components, AIBOMs, and how Safeguard keeps the agentic supply chain governed.
The Best Software Supply Chain Security Platforms in 2026
Supply-chain security has grown from SCA into a platform category spanning SBOMs, build integrity, and malicious-package defense. This balanced guide compares Snyk, Sonatype, Chainguard, Endor Labs, Socket, and Safeguard.
Cloud-Native Application Security: Securing the Full Stack in 2026
Cloud-native apps spread risk across code, containers, and infrastructure-as-code. This guide maps the full attack surface and a layered strategy to secure all of it.
node-fetch Security Guide (2026)
node-fetch brought the browser fetch API to Node.js and became a near-universal HTTP client — and its two real CVEs, a redirect-based header leak and a size-limit bypass, are exactly the kind of subtle bug that ships to millions of apps.
Protocol Buffers (protobuf) Security Guide (2026)
Protocol Buffers is the serialization format behind gRPC and much of modern service-to-service traffic — and because parsing untrusted binary is its whole job, its real CVEs are denial-of-service by design, with a critical prototype-pollution bug in the JavaScript runtime.
PyYAML Security Guide (2026)
PyYAML is the default YAML parser for Python — and its history of arbitrary-code-execution CVEs from unsafe loading makes yaml.load() one of the most dangerous calls in the language.
Rust Supply Chain Security: build.rs, Typosquatting, and Auditing crates.io
Rust's borrow checker guarantees memory safety in your code — and nothing about the crates you pull in. A cargo build runs arbitrary code at compile time, before any safe code executes.
Self-healing security runs on Safeguard.
Your first fix PR is minutes away.
No sales call required, even your agent can complete the purchase over MCP.
