GitHub dependency graph and dependency review explained
How GitHub Dependency Graph and Dependency Review actually work, what GitHub Advanced Security adds on top, and where the coverage gaps are for teams relying on manifest-only scanning.
Preventing malicious packages with automated detection
Malicious npm and PyPI packages skip CVEs entirely. Here's how attackers get them published and how automated detection catches them before they ship.
License compliance checks for open source dependencies on...
GitHub Advanced Security scans for vulnerabilities, not license risk. Here's what real open source license compliance requires—and where GHAS falls short.
SBOM export in GitHub: generating a software bill of mate...
GitHub lets you export an SPDX SBOM in two clicks, but the file only reflects what its dependency graph can see. Here's what's missing and how Safeguard fills it.
DAST vs SAST vs IAST: choosing the right testing method
SAST, DAST, and IAST each test different things. Here's how Checkmarx positions its platform, and where Safeguard's supply chain approach fits alongside it.
Unified AppSec platform vs. stitched-together point solut...
Checkmarx built its AppSec suite through years of acquisitions. Safeguard built one risk graph. Here's how to verify which model actually reduces triage work.
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.
Checkmarx vs Snyk: which AppSec platform fits your stack
Checkmarx vs Snyk searches usually miss the real question: does your AppSec stack cover source code, or the full build-to-deploy supply chain? Here's how to check.
How AppSec teams cut false-positive triage time
AppSec teams drown in false positives. See how Safeguard's supply-chain-native triage compares to Checkmarx's SAST-driven approach on reachability, context, and workflow fit.
PCI DSS compliance for application security teams
PCI DSS 4.0's software inventory rules are enforced since March 2025. Here's why scanner-only tools like Checkmarx miss Requirements 6.3.2, 6.4.3, and 11.6.1.
How to Secure a Monorepo Without Slowing Every Team Down
Monorepo security fails when every check runs on every commit. Path-filtered CI, CODEOWNERS, per-workspace scanning, and merge queues fix that.
Repository health and source-code manager (SCM) risk
Repository health—branch protection, stale permissions, leaked secrets, OAuth grants—is a supply chain risk AppSec scanners like Checkmarx can't see. Here's why it matters.
Self-healing security runs on Safeguard.
