The Economics of Vulnerability Backlogs
A vulnerability backlog is an inventory problem with interest payments. Triage costs, carrying costs, and why fixing by EPSS beats fixing by CVSS on pure ROI.
OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities explained
A breakdown of all 10 OWASP Top 10 categories with real CVEs (Log4Shell, Equifax, Heartbleed) mapped to each, and stats on which risks hit production most.
Container Security for the Software Supply Chain
Container scanning means more than SCA: OS layers, secrets, and provenance matter too. See the gaps in SCA-first tools and how Safeguard closes them.
OWASP API Security Top 10 risks explained
The OWASP API Security Top 10 ranks BOLA, broken auth, SSRF, and 7 more API risks behind breaches like Optus and T-Mobile — explained with real incidents.
What is SAST? Static Application Security Testing explained
SAST scans source code for vulnerabilities before deployment. Learn how it works, where it fits vs. DAST/SCA, its false-positive limits, and 2026 tooling.
Report Scanner: How Vulnerability Scan Reports Work
A report scanner turns raw scan output into something a team can act on — deduplicated, prioritized, and mapped to owners — which is where most scanning programs actually stall.
How Snyk's --project-tags and business-criticality flags ...
How Snyk CLI's --project-tags and --project-business-criticality flags attach business context to scans, and why that context can drift out of date.
What is SCA? Software Composition Analysis explained
SCA scans your open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities and license risk. Here's what it checks, how it differs from SAST, and why reachability matters.
Nginx 1.18.0 Vulnerabilities: Audit and Upgrade Path
Nginx 1.18.0 left support in 2021, but not every scanner hit is exploitable — and many distro builds are already patched. How to audit what you actually run and get onto a supported line.
SAST vs DAST vs SCA: choosing the right tool
SAST, DAST, and SCA each answer a different security question — here's what each catches, when to run them, and how to prioritize the flood of findings.
What is a known vulnerability?
A known vulnerability is a publicly disclosed, CVE-tracked flaw — and disclosure alone doesn't mean it's fixed, patched, or harmless.
The Real Cost of Delayed Patching in Open Source Components
Patches for open source flaws often exist for months before teams apply them. Here is what that patch lag actually costs in breaches, cleanup, and trust.
