Developers are coding everywhere. AI agents, Slack bots, and MCP servers have made the developer device the biggest security blindspot.
SBOMs in 2026: Everyone's generating them, no one's using them
ENISA's 2026 SBOM adoption report covers 334 organizations and surfaces a consistent gap between generating SBOMs and actually using them. Here is what stood out.
Why EDR and proxy won’t save you from supply chain malware
EDR and proxies weren't built for supply chain malware. When malicious code arrives through npm install, it looks like normal behavior. Here's why that matters.
What MDM can't protect on developer machines (and what to do about it)
Most security teams have MDM deployed. The problem is that npm installs, VS Code extensions, and AI coding tools happen completely outside MDM's view. Here's what's actually unprotected and how to close the gap.
Legitimate-Looking Codex Remote UI Secretly Steals Your AI Tokens
A polished Codex remote UI, the npm package codexui-android, has active development and thousands of weekly users. It has been quietly exfiltrating OpenAI auth tokens for the past month.
