Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)
IAST instruments running apps to catch injection flaws and unsafe data flows in real time. Here's how it works, its limits, and where it fits.
SAST vs DAST: Key Differences
SAST reads code before it runs; DAST attacks it while it's live. Here's what each catches, what each misses, and when to run both.
SAST vs SCA Testing
SAST scans the code you wrote; SCA scans the code you imported. Here's the real difference, with Equifax, Log4Shell, and xz as case studies.
Open Source Dependency Scanners: A Buyer's Checklist
A practical checklist for evaluating an open source dependency scanner — ecosystem coverage, reachability analysis, license detection, and how each handles transitive dependencies.
Tracking Kubernetes CVEs in 2026: A Practical Method
Kubernetes CVE news moves fast across control plane, kubelet, and CNI components — here's a repeatable method for tracking what actually applies to your cluster.
SCA vs SBOM: What's the Difference
SCA and SBOM aren't the same thing: one is a scanning process, the other is a compliance artifact. Here's how they differ and why you need both.
SAST vs Penetration Testing
SAST scans code before deploy; pentesting attacks it after. Here's where each catches real vulnerabilities, where they miss, and what Log4Shell proved.
How to Choose an Enterprise Vulnerability Management Tool
What an enterprise vulnerability management tool actually needs to do, how it differs from a scanner, and the evaluation criteria that separate a program that scales from one that drowns in noise.
PHP Application Security: A Practical Guide to Locking Down Your Code
PHP application security comes down to a handful of high-impact controls. Here is how to handle injection, sessions, uploads, and dependencies without the theory.
Solving The 1,000-Vulnerability Backlog Problem
How security teams escape the four-figure vulnerability backlog using reachability analysis, automated PRs, and AI-driven triage that actually scales.
What is Penetration Testing
Penetration testing simulates real attacks to prove exploitability, not just list CVEs. Here's how it works, what it costs, and how often it's required.
What is Vulnerability Scanning
Vulnerability scanning automatically checks code, dependencies, and infra against known-flaw databases like the NVD. Here's how it works and why reachability matters.
