What is SCA? Software Composition Analysis explained
SCA scans your open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities and license risk. Here's what it checks, how it differs from SAST, and why reachability matters.
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.
SCA scans your open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities and license risk. Here's what it checks, how it differs from SAST, and why reachability matters.
CVE-2021-43527 is a critical heap buffer overflow in Mozilla NSS that can lead to remote code execution when verifying certain digital signatures.
Nginx 1.18.0 left support in 2021, but not every scanner hit is exploitable — and many distro builds are already patched. How to audit what you actually run and get onto a supported line.
The cloud cyber security fundamentals teams reliably skip — identity sprawl, misconfigured storage, and compliance standards treated as a checkbox instead of a control.
SAST, DAST, and SCA each answer a different security question — here's what each catches, when to run them, and how to prioritize the flood of findings.
Open source malware is code deliberately planted in packages to attack the systems that install it. Learn how it spreads, real incidents, and how it differs from CVEs.
Cognition's Devin executes engineering tasks autonomously in cloud sandboxes. We unpack the trust boundaries, the human checkpoints, and what defenders must require.
Most vulnerability scans stop at direct dependencies, missing the 70-80% of your codebase that arrives transitively — where Log4Shell and other major CVEs actually hid.
A known vulnerability is a publicly disclosed, CVE-tracked flaw — and disclosure alone doesn't mean it's fixed, patched, or harmless.
