Your Business Apps Are Bringing Friends You Didn't Invite
Every commercial software application is a complex assembly of first-party, contracted, open source, and third-party code. But when #SolarWinds, #Kaseya, and #Ivanti happened, we learned that vendor questionnaires and contractual assurances offer little protection against supply chain compromises.
At #BlackHat2025, Saša Zdjelar, Chief Trust Officer at ReversingLabs, reveals how organizations can finally verify the integrity of #software from outside vendors—without relying on blind trust.
The game-changer: Comprehensive binary analysis that deconstructs any file into its components to:
• Detect malware, tampering, and embedded secrets
• Identify #vulnerabilities and insecure practices
• Uncover undocumented network connections
• Flag #compliance risks from restricted regions
This isn't just another policy checkbox—it's a true technical control that inspects the software itself, regardless of size or complexity.
Real-world applications:
• Procurement: Auto-scan all software before deployment
• Version Monitoring: Detect unexpected behavior changes between releases
• Critical Environments: Verify integrity before software enters OT, ICS, or financial systems
• Risk Management: Assess COTS software as part of ongoing vendor reviews
With regulations like EO 14028 and the EU's #CyberResilience Act demanding transparency, the ability to technically validate every application delivers both strategic protection and measurable benefits.
