How the Snyk CLI's authentication flow issues and stores ...
A technical walkthrough of how Snyk's CLI authenticates via `snyk auth`, where it stores API tokens locally, and why that plaintext credential file is worth protecting.
What is Patch Latency
Patch latency is the gap between a fix existing and the fix running in production. Here's how to measure it honestly, why it balloons, and how teams get it under 30 days.
The Confidence Gap: Why Developers Trust AI Code More Tha...
Studies show developers trust AI-generated code more than human code, even though it's often less secure. Here's what's driving the AI code trust gap.
Autocomplete Anxiety: Measuring How Often AI Coding Assis...
Studies show 40-45% of AI-suggested code contains exploitable flaws, and models hallucinate fake packages developers install. Here's what the data says.
The Gap Between SBOM Generation and SBOM Consumption
Most companies generate SBOMs to satisfy a compliance checkbox, then let them sit unread. Here is why SBOM consumption lags generation, and how to close the gap.
Runtime Reachability Analysis: Cutting Through Vulnerabil...
Most CVE findings are noise. Here's how runtime reachability analysis separates exploitable risk from theoretical severity, and why CVSS alone can't prioritize your patch queue.
Sigstore Cosign Keyless Signing Explained for Teams
Keyless signing swaps long-lived private keys for ten-minute certificates tied to an OIDC identity. How Fulcio and Rekor work, and how to roll it out without breaking deploys.
Consolidation Wave: Why AppSec Vendors Are Buying Runtime...

Benchmarking Mean Time to Remediate Across Company Size a...
MTTR benchmarks vary 2-5x by company size and industry. See how financial services, healthcare, and mid-sized firms compare — and what a realistic 2026 target looks like.
Shift Left Fatigue: Why Developers Are Pushing Back on Se...
Shift-left security handed developers new duties without removing old ones. Here's why teams are pushing back — and how better tooling fixes the real problem: noise, not ownership.
Measuring Developer Security Maturity Beyond Tool Coverage
Tool coverage tells you what's installed, not whether developers are actually getting safer. Here's how to build a maturity model around remediation velocity, recurrence, and secrets hygiene instead.
