What Is a Package Vulnerability Scanner and How Do You Pick One?
A package vulnerability scanner checks your dependencies against known-CVE databases so you catch risky libraries before they ship. Here is how they work and what separates a good one.
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.

Static code scanning tools read your source without running it to find bugs and security flaws. Here is how they work, where they fall short, and how to pick one.
Not every npm XML parser carries the same risk. We compare xml2js, fast-xml-parser, sax, and libxmljs on their CVE history, XXE exposure, and safe configuration.
A small team can build a real scanning habit with zero budget — the trick is turning one-off checks into a repeatable workflow before traffic (and risk) grows.
DAST stands for Dynamic Application Security Testing, a way of finding vulnerabilities by attacking a running application from the outside. Here is what that means in practice.
Code quality scanning and security scanning overlap more than most teams realize. Here is what static analysis of code quality actually finds and how to run it without alert fatigue.
A practical SQL injection demo that shows how unsanitized input reaches the database, why it works, and the one fix that reliably closes the hole.
The SSRF full form is Server-Side Request Forgery, a vulnerability where an attacker tricks your server into making requests on their behalf. Here is what that means and how to defend against it.
A website security scan tests a live site for common weaknesses. Here is what the different scan types actually check, how to read the results, and where the free ones fall short.
