A New Era for Software Supply Chain Security
In ReversingLabs view, the Gartner new Magic Quadrant™ for Software Supply Chain Security reflects the growing demand for software supply chain security as a strategic discipline for both software providers and enterprise software consumers. The team at ReversingLabs believes the company’s inclusion in the report acknowledges its continued innovation and execution in empowering organizations to build and buy safe software.
Software producers looking to safeguard customers from supply chain attacks and demonstrate quality improvements with a rigorous and verifiable set of software safety checks.
Enterprise software consumers looking to secure software onboarding processes with automated pre-deployment evaluations to accelerate approvals while enforcing internal policies.
The Complete Approach to Software Supply Chain Security The ReversingLabs platform brings together three capabilities organizations need to protect against software supply chain attacks and accelerate third-party software approvals while enforcing internal policies. These include:
Complete Visibility Into the Final Artifact: Spectra Assure analyzes software in the form it is actually shipped to market (binary, package, container, or model), enabling both enterprise software consumers and producers to manage third-party software risk. It also uncovers threats and risks that only appear in compiled outputs by recursive inspection of embedded files, dependencies, and layers. For open-source ecosystems, active harvesting and continuous reprocessing of 6M+ packages across popular registries provides community-specific behavioral context that separates signal from noise.
Multi-Layered Threat Detection: Instead of discrete malware signatures, Spectra Assure uses continually tuned threat-hunting policies and predictive ML models to detect both known attacks (e.g. Shai-hulud) and novel attacks. Large-scale analysis of open-source ecosystems adds behavioral context to OSS malware detection, separating signal from noise. When an automated detection requires confirmation, ReversingLabs’ malware analysts close the loop, providing human-verified intelligence.
Continuous Monitoring and Improvement: Spectra Assure tracks security over time using SAFE Levels, a tiered benchmarking system with clear, measurable milestones for progressively improving software quality with every release. The "Share Report" feature fosters transparency between enterprise software consumers and producers, ensuring detected risks and threats are communicated, while built-in differential analysis verifies improvements with each new version without introducing new risks.
