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.
Three forks of the same codebase, three different security philosophies. Here is how to choose the right TLS library for your project.
Node.js finally has an experimental permission model. It is a significant step toward containing supply chain attacks, but it has important limitations.
Bun prioritizes performance over Node.js compatibility. But some of those performance choices have security implications worth understanding.
Deno requires explicit permission grants for file, network, and environment access. This capability-based model changes the supply chain risk equation.
Swift's type safety helps, but it does not eliminate all security bugs. Here is the current tooling landscape for finding vulnerabilities in Swift code.
Rust's compiler catches memory safety bugs. Clippy catches everything else -- including security anti-patterns the borrow checker does not care about.
TypeScript's strict mode catches entire categories of bugs at compile time. Some of those bugs have direct security implications.
