What to check before installing an open source package
A practical guide to vetting open source packages before you install them — real incidents, concrete checks, and how reachability analysis cuts through CVE noise.
Consolidating point solutions into a unified AppSec platform
Point solutions for SAST, SCA, DAST, and secrets scanning create duplicate alerts and blind spots — here's why teams are unifying AppSec now.
Attack Surface Management (ASM): discovery, monitoring, m...
ASM isn't just cloud exposure. See why discovery, monitoring, mapping, and reduction must extend into the software supply chain—and where tools like Wiz fall short.
2026 Q1 CVE Trend Analysis
A data-driven look at CVE trends from Q1 2026: publication volume, severity distribution, exploitation patterns, and what the shifts mean for defenders.
What is Application Security (AppSec)
Application security spans SAST, SCA, secrets and container scanning. See how AppSec differs from DevSecOps, why it's now board-level, and how Safeguard prioritizes fixes.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
SAST scans source code for exploitable flaws before deployment. Learn how it works, how it differs from DAST/SCA, and where it falls short.
Image Scanning
How container image scanning works, where tools like Aqua Security's Trivy fall short on noise and reachability, and what modern scanning workflows require.
Container Registry Scanning
How container registry scanning actually works, why Aqua's Trivy isn't enough on its own, what the xz-utils backdoor exposed, and how Safeguard prioritizes findings that matter.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
DAST tests running apps like an attacker would. Learn how it works, what it catches and misses, and how PCI DSS 4.0 now mandates it.
True Positives vs False Positives in Cyber Security
A true positive is a real finding your tools caught correctly; a false positive is noise that looks like a finding but isn't — and the ratio between them decides whether your security program gets trusted or ignored.
SBOM vs. VEX: What's the Difference and When Do You Need Each?
SBOMs tell you what is in your software. VEX tells you which of those components are actually exploitable. Here is how to use both without drowning in noise.
Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
SCA finds every open source package in your code and flags known CVEs against it. Here's how it works, its blind spots, and how to fix them.
