Inside the Apache Foundation's Security Practices
The Apache Software Foundation oversees 350+ projects including some of the most widely deployed software on earth. Their security practices set the standard for foundation-governed open source.
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.

Supply chain attacks on open source come in distinct flavors. Understanding the taxonomy helps defenders prioritize controls and recognize threats before they reach production.
PyPI paused new user registration for most of May 20-23 after a March wave of typosquats and info-stealers flooded the index. Here is what happened and why.
sum.golang.org went public in August 2019. After four years of production, here is what the Go checksum database got right and what it did not.

OpenSSL's transformation from a two-person project securing half the internet to a properly governed foundation offers a blueprint for open source security governance.
Responsible disclosure sounds simple in theory. In practice, coordinating vulnerability disclosure across open source projects with no budgets, no SLAs, and no obligation to respond is an exercise in patience and diplomacy.
Python's package registry saw an explosion of malicious packages in late 2022, from credential stealers to reverse shells. Here's what we found.
When a vulnerability affects a library used by thousands of projects, coordinating the fix is harder than writing the patch. The coordination problem is open source security's biggest operational challenge.
