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.
Your suppliers send SPDX. Your tools expect CycloneDX. Interoperability between SBOM formats is a real operational challenge. Here is how to solve it.
Announcing the Safeguard Desktop App -- a native application for macOS, Windows, and Linux that brings SBOM management, vulnerability tracking, and policy gates to your desktop.
Most SBOM quality discussions stop at completeness. Real quality requires measuring accuracy, freshness, depth, and actionability. Here is a practical framework.
Post-quantum cryptography migration requires knowing what cryptographic algorithms your software uses. CBOMs provide that inventory. Here is what they are and why they matter.
States and cities are adopting SBOM requirements faster than most vendors have noticed. A survey of where the mandates sit and what they actually require.
The SBOM format debate misses the point. Safeguard ingests both CycloneDX and SPDX, normalizes to a common model, and lets you query and export in either format.
A security data lake aggregates SBOMs, vulnerability data, build provenance, and runtime signals into a queryable store. This architecture enables the cross-cutting analysis that siloed tools cannot provide.
Where the DoD Zero Trust Reference Architecture meets the software supply chain, and what program offices are actually doing about it.
GraalVM native images change the supply chain story in ways that most SBOM tooling has not caught up with yet. Here is what gets baked in, what gets stripped out, and what still needs to be tracked.
