Why Binary Analysis Is Now a Must-Have Control
for Commercial Software Risk
As enterprises expand their use of commercial and third-party software, a critical gap is widening between what security teams are asked to trust and what they can independently verify. Applications, updates, and patches often arrive as compiled packages that bypass the visibility and controls applied to internally developed code. Yet many organizations still rely on supplier attestations and SBOMs that cannot be validated at the artifact level.
Threat actors exploit these blind spots in the commercial software supply chain. Hidden malware, tampered components, weak cryptography, and embedded secrets are frequently discovered only after deployment—when operational dependencies are already established and response options are limited.
Recognizing this shift, Gartner in their latest CISO Guide to Commercial Software Supply Chain Security identifies binary analysis as a must-have control for verifying commercial software before installation or update.
In this session, ReversingLabs experts explain why binary analysis is essential to modern software onboarding and how binary-level inspection detects supply chain threats before they reach production.
Key takeaways include:
- Why software trust decisions increasingly require independent binary-level inspection
- The practical limits of SBOMs and supplier assurances without validation
- How binary composition analysis uncovers hidden risks missed by surface-level controls
- What security teams should verify prior to installing or updating commercial software
- How to strengthen software onboarding decisions and reduce downstream exposure
