Product Security & Compliance

Use Case: Securing software development lifecycles (SDLC) by integrating binary-level security checks to detect vulnerabilities in both first-party and third-party components before deployment.
  • Problem: Traditional source code scanning tools fail to analyze pre-compiled binaries, firmware, and transitive dependencies creating major security blind spots.
  • Solution: The Binarly Transparency Platform scans compiled binaries (instead of just source code), detecting vulnerabilities in third-party libraries, embedded software, and firmware that developers may not have source access to.
  • Impact: Organizations can eliminate security risks before release, preventing vulnerabilities and supply chain threats from reaching production. This proactive approach helps mitigate potential brand damage and costs afterwards.
Example Scenario: A DevSecOps team integrates Binarly into their CI/CD pipeline, enabling automated binary security scanning after the software is built but before release/deployment. The platform detects a vulnerable third-party library in software component, allowing the security team to remediate the issue before the product reaches customers.

​
Procurement & Third-Party Software Validation

Use Case: Assessing third-party software and firmware before purchase, ensuring security compliance and reducing supply chain risk.
  • Problem: Many organizations integrate third-party software, firmware, and hardware components into their infrastructure without fully validating their security. This can introduce hidden vulnerabilities, backdoors, and supply chain compromises.
  • Solution: The Binarly Transparency Platform scans vendor-supplied binaries before procurement, ensuring they are free from known and unknown security threats. This prevents organizations from purchasing or integrating compromised components or products.
  • Impact: Security teams gain visibility into third-party software risks, reducing the likelihood of supply chain attacks, compromised firmware, and regulatory non-compliance.
Example Scenario: A healthcare company is evaluating IoT medical devices from multiple vendors. Before purchasing, their security team scans the firmware binaries using Binarly, uncovering hidden vulnerabilities and insecure configurations in one vendor’s product. Preventing them from purchasing and deploying a vulnerable device, prone to compromise, into their infrastructure.

​
Cryptographic Export Control

Use Case: Identifying and mitigating security risks introduced by insecure cryptographic implementations in software and firmware binaries. The platform detects weak keys, outdated protocols, and non-compliant algorithms, generates a Cryptography Bill of Materials (CBOM), and assesses Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness.
  • Problem: Weak or misconfigured cryptographic implementations expose systems to data breaches, supply chain attacks, and regulatory non-compliance. Organizations often lack visibility into third-party and embedded cryptographic assets, increasing security risks.
  • Solution: The Binarly Transparency Platform analyzes binary files to detect hardcoded keys, insecure encryption algorithms, and weak cryptographic protocols. It generates a CBOM to provide full cryptographic inventory transparency and assesses compliance with NIST PQC standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) to help organizations proactively transition to quantum-safe encryption.
  • Impact: Organizations can eliminate cryptographic vulnerabilities, reduce the risk of data exposure, prevent supply chain threats, and ensure compliance with NIST, FIPS, GDPR, and emerging PQC regulations.
Example Scenario: A defense contractor scans firmware binaries and uncovers hardcoded encryption keys and weak RSA-1024 usage, both of which violate compliance standards. Using Binarly’s insights, they replace insecure cryptographic assets, preventing potential exploitation and securing mission-critical systems.
