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.
SCA is required wherever you ship code built on open-source dependencies and need to prove which components you use and whether they carry known vulnerabilities.
A static code scan analyzes source without running it, catching injection, secrets, and unsafe patterns early. Here is what it can and cannot see, and how to wire one into CI.
Snyk secret scanning finds hardcoded credentials in your code as part of Snyk Code's SAST engine and, more recently, through the dedicated Snyk Secrets product. Here is what each covers and where the gaps are.
A candid SCA tools list for teams that need dependency and license scanning wired into CI, covering open-source scanners and commercial platforms and how to tell them apart.
A DAST solution tests your running application from the outside, the way an attacker would. Here is how dynamic testing works, what it catches, and how to pick one that fits your pipeline.
DOM XSS payloads execute entirely in the browser when untrusted input reaches a dangerous sink like innerHTML or eval. Here is how the class works and how to shut it down without shipping exploit code.
A practical look at Checkmarx IAST, how interactive testing differs from SAST and DAST, and where it fits in a modern AppSec program.
An open redirect attack abuses a trusted domain's own redirect functionality to send victims to a malicious site — low severity on its own, but a key ingredient in phishing and OAuth token theft.
A buffer overflow exploit example, walked through step by step, showing exactly how writing past the end of a fixed-size buffer can turn a simple C function into arbitrary code execution.
