Application Security Already Knows What's Broken. Context Is How You Fix It Faster.

While traditional security tools excel at finding vulnerabilities, the sheer volume of alerts—now accelerated by AI-driven development—has made manual triage impossible. The true value of Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) lies not in providing more visibility or creating a cleaner backlog, but in shifting from cataloging risk to taking fast, context-driven, machine-speed action to actually fix what is broken.

Over 140 popular Mastra npm Packages Hit by Supply Chain Attack

On June 17th we detected a large-scale supply chain attack targeting the entire @mastra npm scope, a popular open-source AI agent framework. An attacker republished 141 packages in a burst between 01:15 and 02:00 UTC, silently injecting a malicious dependency into every one of them. The affected packages include @mastra/core, which has 918K weekly npm downloads, as well as mastra and create-mastra.

Cyber Sessions with Sohail Iqbal, CISO at Veracode | CSO Cybersecurity Conference & Awards

As AI accelerates software development at machine speed, security teams are struggling to keep up with remediation. In this insightful interview, Veracode CISO Sohail Iqbal breaks down the security realities of AI-assisted coding and shares how organizations can close the growing gap between code velocity and secure deployment.

Full Fathom Five: The context of Anthropic's Mythos-class public release

This week bore witness to some interesting events and milestones as Anthropic announced the availability of Claude Fable 5, a descendant of their Mythos Preview model, and Microsoft published their largest Patch Tuesday in history with over 200 vulnerabilities. The two are not unrelated.

CrowdStrike Named an Innovation and Growth Leader in the 2026 Frost Radar: Cloud and Application Runtime Security

We're proud to announce that Frost & Sullivan has named CrowdStrike a Leader for the second consecutive time in the 2026 Frost Radar: Cloud and Application Runtime Security (CARS). Building on last year's recognition, CrowdStrike scored highest on both the Growth and Innovation indices.

Aikido x Docker: less noise, more signal in your containers

TL;DR: Aikido now supports Docker Hardened Images. A scan that used to return hundreds of CVEs collapses to the handful that actually apply, because Docker's VEX attestations filter out everything they've verified as non-exploitable. Zero additional setup. Container security has a noise problem You scan a container image and get back a list of 50, 100, sometimes hundreds of CVEs. You open a few. Some look scary. Most are irrelevant. Some have already been patched by the image maintainer.

npm v12 delivers one of the biggest security improvements in years

npm's next major release, v12, scheduled to land July 2026, will stop running dependency install scripts by default. We’re relieved to hear it. Turning off install scripts is the most useful change npm could make to its defaults. The community suffered a barrage of supply chain attacks in the last year, like Nx s1ngularity and Shai-Hulud, that exploited postinstall scripts. This npm update is a long-awaited change that will shrink a huge supply chain attack vector.

SBOMs in 2026: Everyone's generating them, no one's using them

ENISA just published its SBOM Adoption State of Play 2026, based on a survey of 334 organizations (65% EU-based, 80% directly impacted by the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)). It is the clearest snapshot yet of where the industry stands on software supply chain transparency, and the picture is more nuanced than "everyone's on board." Here's what stood out.

Code is being written everywhere, and the device is the only constant

This post is based on Mackenzie's conversation with James Hawkins on The Secure Disclosure podcast. Listen to the full episode or watch below. PostHog's engineering team is merging roughly as many pull requests through Slack as through their code editor. As James Hawkins, co-founder and co-CEO of PostHog, explains on the podcast, the shift towards dispersed coding interfaces is underway. "Why are code editors all desktop apps right now? That's a relic of the past.

Why Claude Mythos Changes AppSec Research, Not Your Scanning Stack

If you’re like our team, the morning after the Claude Mythos announcement brought more questions than answers. Among them: “Serious question. Do customers still need SAST?” It’s a fair question if you stop at the headline. Claude Mythos, Anthropic’s frontier AI model currently gated to vetted partners through Project Glasswing, had autonomously identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers . No rule books, no checklists.
