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.
What is a Vulnerability Assessment
A vulnerability assessment finds and ranks security weaknesses at scale — here's how it differs from a pentest, its five-step process, and reporting essentials.
Vulnerability Checker: How to Scan Your Code and Websites for Flaws
What a vulnerability checker does, the different kinds (dependency, website, container), and how to choose and use one to actually reduce risk rather than generate noise.
Anthropic's Mythos Vulnerability Scanner: An Honest Assessment of Strengths, Weaknesses, and Reasons to Be Cautious
Anthropic's Mythos model is generating buzz for AI-powered vulnerability detection. We break down what it does well, where it struggles, and why security teams should approach the results with healthy skepticism.
The Limits of Single-Model Vulnerability Scanning: A Technical Analysis of the Mythos Approach
Anthropic's Mythos model claims to find vulnerabilities in open-source code using a single LLM. We analyze where this approach falls short and why production-grade zero-day discovery requires Safeguard's Multi-Agent TAOR Deep Think AI Engine.
Why LLM-Based Vulnerability Scanning Needs More Than a Single Model
Large language models are being used to find vulnerabilities in open-source code. But a single model, no matter how capable, isn't enough. Here's why multi-agent orchestration, structured CWE analysis, and deep context matter more than model size.
How to Scan Source Code for Vulnerabilities: A Practical Guide
Scanning source code means running automated analysis over your repository to find security flaws before they reach production. Here is how to do it well.
How to Scan Websites for Security Issues
A practical walkthrough of how to scan websites for common vulnerabilities, which tools fit which job, and how to turn scan output into fixes.
A guide to modern vulnerability scanning
Scanners disagree, CVE volume is exploding, and hardened base images solve only one layer. Here's how modern vulnerability scanning actually works — and where prioritization beats raw CVE counts.
FedRAMP vulnerability scanning requirements explained
FedRAMP mandates monthly vulnerability scans and 30-day remediation windows. Here's what Rev 5 requires, and why minimal images like Chainguard's don't exempt you.
Docker image security fundamentals (quick-start guide)
A practical guide to docker image security: how vulnerabilities hide in base images, common misconfigurations, how scanning works, and a five-step quick-start checklist.
