Knowing what an SBOM is gets you to the starting line. What separates a working SBOM program from a compliance checkbox is the operational detail: which fields actually have to be there, how the identifiers work, why VEX exists, where in the pipeline you generate, and which deadlines are already

The agency that tells the rest of the US government how to secure its systems left administrative AWS GovCloud keys and dozens of plaintext internal passwords sitting in a public GitHub repository for roughly six months. As reported by KrebsOnSecurity, which broke the story after being contacted by the researcher

During an incident, your logs are the one thing you need to trust, and attackers know it. The first move after getting root is almost always to wipe the evidence. If you're not actively protecting your logs, you're blind the moment a breach happens, and there&

There's a gap between what Linux logs by default and what you need to actually detect a compromise. Most environments have logging switched on, which feels like coverage right up until you're pulling logs after an incident and finding fragments: a login here, a process there,

F5 pushed an out-of-band security release on July 15 covering eight vulnerabilities across NGINX and BIG-IP. The one that matters most is CVE-2026-42533, a heap buffer overflow in the map directive reachable by unauthenticated crafted HTTP requests, and the affected version range is the part

Containers feel like VMs — own hostname, own process list, own network — but the isolation is namespace sleight-of-hand over a shared kernel, not a hardware boundary. Worth verifying rather than assuming, because the gap between "looks isolated" and "is isolated" is exactly where container escapes

The classic tell: a box with clean top, clean ps, an EDR reporting green, and outbound encrypted traffic to an IP that netstat swears isn't there. Every user-space tool agrees the system is fine because every user-space tool asks the same kernel the same question, and

Most people maintaining an open source project weren't hired to be security engineers, and GitHub's security settings page is dense enough that it's easy to close the tab and move on. But leaving those settings untouched quietly stacks the deck against you: no automation,

In Omdia's 2026 software supply chain security report, 73% of organizations that generate SBOMs say they enable more efficient vulnerability mitigation — yet 86% still find the generation process challenging. That gap between recognized value and operational difficulty is where most teams are stuck. If you build or secure

Why Container Security Tooling Needs Its Own Evaluation Framework Container adoption keeps outpacing security maturity in most organizations. Traditional endpoint protection was never designed for ephemeral, highly dynamic containerized environments, and it often fails to provide the visibility these workloads demand—agents assume persistent endpoints with stable operating systems, and

Controls Without Context Don't Work Container security programs lose effectiveness when controls are implemented without connecting them to specific attack outcomes. Running a container as root increases the impact of a container escape. Non-root execution reduces what an attacker can do with that foothold. The control only

The Detection Gap: Transparency Matters Commercial endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools are black boxes. You buy a binary, run it with elevated privileges, and trust it works. You don't know what rules it's actually using. You don't know if detections are accurate or
