What happened
Collection of Rapid7 blog posts (Feb–Mar 2026) covering application security and current threat activity. Key themes: the importance of continuous DAST for finding runtime web-app vulnerabilities and meeting compliance; AI-assisted code-security (Claude Code Security) and its implications for SAST/AppSec; partner and summit announcements; an analysis on digital footprints and pre-breach reconnaissance; a Metasploit wrap-up adding multiple exploit/evasion modules and support for critical vulnerabilities (notably Ollama path traversal RCE and Grandstream VoIP overflow) and updates for Beyond_T/3
