Node.js Permission Model: Restricting What Your Code Can Do
Node.js finally has an experimental permission model. It is a significant step toward containing supply chain attacks, but it has important limitations.
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.

Interactive Application Security Testing and Runtime Application Self-Protection both operate at runtime, but they serve different purposes. Here is how they compare and when to use each.
Deno was built with security as a first-class concern, requiring explicit permissions for file, network, and environment access. Here is an honest assessment of what that model delivers in practice.
Deno requires explicit permission grants for file, network, and environment access. This capability-based model changes the supply chain risk equation.
Static scanning finds known vulnerabilities. Runtime analysis finds actual exploitation. Using only one gives you half the picture.
eBPF is being called the future of security observability. It is genuinely powerful, but it is not a magic bullet for runtime security.
