While open source analysis tools are effective for scanning vulnerabilities in accessible source code files, many third-party and infrastructure components are distributed as precompiled binaries.

Static Code Analysis is the technique of automatically analyzing the application’s source and binary code to find security vulnerabilities. Two categories exist in this realm: Binary Code Analysis ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) can help improve binary code analysis and, in turn, make the software supply chain more secure. Effective binary code analysis is paramount as supply chain risks rise.

The high cost of finding and patching application flaws is well known. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to write secure code in the first place? One of the fastest growing areas in the software security ...
