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.
Free secrets scanning covers a lot: code host scanning, open source scanners, pre-commit hooks. Here is what each category misses and when to pay.
Free SCA covers known-vulnerability lookup well. It leaves gaps in prioritisation, fixes, policy and evidence. Check these limits before you rely on one.
Free IaC scanners catch common cloud misconfigurations in pull requests. Here is what they cover, where they stop, and how to judge when to add more.
Free DAST is real but narrow: OWASP ZAP is free and open source, and its baseline scan is passive. Know the limits before trusting it with release gates.
Free container scanning means open source CLIs and registry basic scans. Know what each covers, where it stops, and what to ask before you rely on it.
Scan code and history for leaked secrets, revoke first and clean up second. See where the Safeguard Chrome extension helps and where it does not.
Install the Safeguard extension from Open VSX, check staged commits for secrets, and run the CLI detect command in Cursor's terminal. What each step does.
Pitch vulnerability management as maintenance with a deadline, not a tool. Use three numbers a CFO can audit and one buying test for any vendor.
Explain secrets scanning to a CFO as a cheap smoke alarm for leaked keys: what it protects, what it costs in time, what to measure, and what it cannot do.
