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.
MSSP and partner program models in AppSec
Checkmarx built an MSSP and partner program around code scanning. Here's how that model works, where it misses software supply chain risk, and what to check before signing.
Static Analysis Tools compared
Veracode built its name on SAST, DAST, and SCA for application code. Safeguard focuses static analysis on the software supply chain. Here's how the two actually differ.
Veracode Trust Center walkthrough / vendor security trans...
What Veracode's trust center actually proves about vendor security — and why SOC 2 reports don't answer software supply chain questions like SBOM and build provenance.
Veracode vs. Checkmarx / Snyk / SonarQube / Fortify (comp...
Comparing Veracode, Checkmarx, Snyk, SonarQube, and Fortify against Safeguard's supply chain security approach — scan scope, deployment, and fit.
