Reading an OWASP Benchmark Score Without Being Sold To
A tool that flags every test case scores 100% detection on the OWASP Benchmark. Recall is the number vendors quote and the one that means least — here is what the suite actually measures.
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.

The difference between a security test and an unauthorised attack is permission on the target. If that boundary is a setting, then a typo, a redirect or a merged config is all it takes to cross it.
Most of an application is behind a session, so an unauthenticated scan tests the login page and the marketing footer. Getting in is the easy half — staying in, and not clicking Delete Account, is the rest.
Per-phase timeouts add up. Six phases capped at ten minutes each is a sixty-minute scan wearing a ten-minute label — and the phase that mattered gets whatever is left.
A DAST scan has no repository and no commit history — only what the server sends a browser. That is enough to identify the builder that generated an app, and nowhere near enough to name the model.
AI-generated code arrives faster than review can absorb and fails in distinct patterns. SAST, DAST, and reachability each catch part of that — and each misses a specific, predictable slice.
Classic DAST discovers attack surface by following hyperlinks. In an estate of APIs and serverless functions there is nothing to crawl, so the scan completes, reports clean, and covers little.
API attacks are climbing steeply and 87% of organisations reported an incident last year. The root cause is not weak authentication — it is that many production endpoints are on nobody's list.
On 25–26 June 2026 attackers compromised a third-party vendor and injected malicious code into Polymarket's website frontend, manipulating users into approving fraudulent transactions.
