July 2026

First-party Security Engines

Safeguard now ships a suite of first-party, defensive security engines, all reporting into one unified findings model and each independently admin-toggleable via server-enforced feature flags:

  • Application Security Testing (SAST & DAST) - static source analysis and defensive, authorized dynamic testing.
  • Red Team (Defensive Adversary Emulation) - breach-and-attack simulation and purple-teaming using benign ATT&CK detection canaries (no weaponized payloads), attack-path graph with unified risk correlation, safe recon, and an AI/LLM guardrail-validation harness - gated by a signed rules-of-engagement, scope checks, rate/blast caps, human approval for high-impact steps, a global kill-switch, and full audit.
  • AI-SPM - model-artifact malware scanning (pickle opcode disassembly, torch-zip walker, safetensors/GGUF validation).
  • DSPM - sensitive-data classification (PII/PHI, Luhn-validated PCI, entropy-gated secrets) with an enforced redaction mandate.
  • Runtime Protection (CWPP & CNAPP) - ATT&CK-mapped runtime threat rules and cloud-native risk correlation. The eBPF runtime collector is a Linux follow-on, rolling out.
  • Package Firewall - inline install-time allow/warn/block for dependencies, with audit and quarantine modes.
  • AutoTriage - cross-scanner deduplication and noise reduction with a measured reduction metric; never suppresses malware or secrets findings.
