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.
GitHub Actions is a powerful CI/CD platform — and a significant attack surface. Here's how to lock it down against supply chain threats.
CI/CD pipelines trust environment variables implicitly. Injecting or modifying them can hijack builds, steal secrets, and compromise deployments.
Your CI/CD pipeline is a high-value target. Without proper audit logging, you will not know when it has been compromised until it is too late.
Ephemeral environments — short-lived, on-demand copies of your application stack — are transforming how teams approach security testing. No more fighting over shared staging environments.
Build systems create and process temporary files constantly. Race conditions in temp file handling can be exploited to inject malicious content into builds.
Generating SBOMs manually is unsustainable. Here's how to automate SBOM creation, validation, and distribution as part of your existing CI/CD pipeline with practical examples.
