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.
Gemini Code Assist makes developers faster. But faster is not safer. Here's how Griffin AI layers a security engine onto the same developer workflow.
SPDX is the format auditors ask for, the format regulators reference, and the format most enterprise procurement teams standardize on. Griffin AI treats it as a first-class graph. Mythos-class tools treat it as a long document.
FedRAMP HIGH demands 421 controls with documented, continuous evidence. Griffin AI produces control-mapped records every day. Mythos-class pure-LLM tools cannot fill a 3PAO evidence package.
Taint tells you whether attacker data actually reaches a sink. Griffin AI propagates it; Mythos-class tools infer it. The difference shows up fast.
Griffin AI reports 98-100% hold rate against adversarial probes. Most Mythos-class tools have never published an adversarial number at all.
Unsafe deserialization looks obvious on a slide and impossible on a real codebase. Sinks are language-specific, gadgets live in third-party libraries, and the tainted byte can arrive wrapped in six layers of framework ceremony. Griffin's engine-plus-LLM design handles each of those concerns separately; Mythos-style pure-LLM scanners blur them into pattern-matching.
Most AI bug hunters skip the hardest step: trying to kill their own findings. Here is why Griffin AI's disproof pass is the single biggest lever on false-positive rate.
