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.
xz-utils, event-stream, and ua-parser-js show how single-maintainer projects lack the security training and support that high-impact infrastructure now demands.
Most open source maintainers have no succession plan. That gap has already caused real incidents, from event-stream to XZ Utils, and it explains why.
CVE-2024-3094 shows how a patient social-engineering campaign turned trusted open source maintainership into a near-catastrophic SSH backdoor.
Automated scanners missed the XZ Utils backdoor for years. Here's why CVE scores, SAST tools, and dependency bots can't replace human maintainer judgment.
Bus factor, commit velocity, and maintainer concentration predicted the xz-utils and event-stream incidents before any CVE did. Here's how to read these proxies — and where they mislead.
Fragmented SAST, SCA, and DAST tools cost more than three licenses — they cost analyst hours, slower remediation, and longer audits. Here's the real ROI math for consolidation.
Three PyPI packages impersonating Alibaba's AI Labs SDK exfiltrated .gitconfig data from developer machines in a regionally targeted 2025 espionage campaign.
A concrete look at the detect-prioritize-remediate workflow for open source vulnerability management, where Mend.io's SCA approach falls short, and how Safeguard closes the gap.
Most flagged CVEs in your dependency tree are never executed. Here's how reachability analysis application security separates exploitable risk from noise—and how Safeguard compares to Mend.io.
