Why asset inventory should come before AppSec tooling
Only 17% of organizations can inventory 95%+ of their assets, and 69% have been breached through one they didn't know existed — start with the map, not the scanner.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

Fewer than 5% of published CVEs are ever exploited in the wild, yet most teams still triage by raw count — here's the exploitability-first alternative.
Broken access control now shows up in 100% of tested applications, per OWASP's 2025 Top 10 — up from 94% in 2021. Here's how to close it in Express.
A patched Grammarly bug let any website steal a user's documents; a 2025 flaw in Anthropic's Claude extension enabled silent prompt injection. Extensions keep failing the same three ways.
Roughly 70% of the CVEs Microsoft and Google's Chrome team assign each year trace to memory-unsafe C/C++ code — how static analysis, sanitizers, and fuzzers each catch a different slice of it.
MISRA C:2025 now spans roughly 225 guidelines and explicitly covers AI-generated code — but memory-safety bugs still drive roughly 70% of the vulnerabilities patched in major C/C++ codebases.
eval(), exec(), and pickle.load() can each hand an attacker a Python interpreter — CVE-2020-1747 shows how one unsafe deserialization call became a real RCE.
os.system() and subprocess.run(shell=True) both hand a string straight to /bin/sh — one unescaped semicolon is enough to run arbitrary commands.
CVE-2013-0156 let attackers RCE Rails by feeding YAML into a parameter parser — the same insecure-deserialization pattern CTF players train on every weekend.
