Consolidation Wave: Why AppSec Vendors Are Buying Runtime...
CrowdStrike, Cisco, Tenable, and others have spent three years buying runtime-visibility startups. Here's why AppSec vendors need runtime context to fix alert overload.
Contextual project classification for SCA accuracy
Flat SCA scanning treats every dependency the same, burying real risk under test-path noise. Here's how contextual project classification fixes accuracy — and where Mend.io falls short.
EPSS Meaning: The Exploit Prediction Scoring System Explained
EPSS is a daily-updated probability that a given CVE will be exploited in the next 30 days. Here is what the score means and how to use it.
Reachability Analysis Explained: Function-Level vs Packag...
Package-level reachability flags 60% of CVEs as "reachable." Function-level analysis, tracing real call paths, cuts that to under 10%. Here's the difference.
What Is a Risk Score in Vulnerability Management?
A risk score turns raw severity into a prioritized number by factoring in exploitability, exposure, and business context. Here is how to read and build one.
Reachability analysis for vulnerability prioritization
Most CVEs your scanner flags are never executed. See how reachability analysis filters noise, how Socket.dev approaches it, and how Safeguard finds real risk.
Reachability analysis for prioritizing vulnerabilities
Reachability analysis cuts vulnerability noise by 70-90% by tracing which CVEs are actually callable from your code, not just present in your dependency tree.
Vulnerability Prioritization in 2025: EPSS, VEX, and the End of CVSS-Only Triage
CVSS scores alone cannot tell you what to patch first. EPSS exploit prediction and VEX documents are reshaping how mature security teams prioritize vulnerabilities at scale.
Vulnerability prioritization: moving beyond CVSS scores
CVSS scores flood teams with thousands of "Critical" findings, but fewer than 5% of CVEs are ever exploited. Here's how reachability and exploit data fix triage.
Reachability Analysis vs EPSS vs CVSS: Prioritization Showdown
CVSS scores severity, EPSS predicts exploitation, reachability proves applicability. A spec-level comparison of the three signals — and the order to apply them.
Application Risk Management: Methods and Tools
A practical breakdown of application risk management: the methods (reachability, RBVM), the tool categories (SCA, SAST, DAST, CSPM), and how to fix the backlog problem.
Asset-First Application Security
Vulnerability-first scanning drowns teams in noise. Asset-first application security starts with a complete inventory, then layers reachability and context to cut backlogs by 90%.
