ReversingLabs empowers modern software development & SOC teams to protect their software releases & organizations from sophisticated threats. 

Secure by Design is the biggest single thrust in the federal government's efforts to change the game on software risk, with the clear goal of shifting liability to software producers for supply chain security. 

But there's a big problem: Even if best practices are used, the application security tools gap, as noted in the ReversingLabs Software Supply Chain Risk Report, is leaving organizations exposed to supply chain attacks. And cybercriminals and nation state groups, which are embracing supply chain attacks as a preferred means, are evolving their methods to exploit these gaps.

What is needed for development organizations to make Secure by Design a reality? How can you trust your releases are secure? First, software producers must be able to verify the integrity of their releases. That requires modern tools that go beyond legacy application security testing (AST) and software composition analysis (SCA).

In this webinar, you will learn:

✓ About the benefits of Secure by Design — and the broader shift to making software producers liable for the security of their software.
 
✓ The real-world problem of realizing Secure by Design. The app sec tools gap is real, and companies know it’s leaving them exposed.
 
✓ What you need to be able to verify the integrity of your software releases — and to deliver the trust that Secure by Design demands.

Secure by Design: Why Trust Matters for Software Risk Management

In this episode, ReversingLabs Field CISO Matt Rose explains why it's key for teams to understand the process by which supply chain attacks happen — and the results of those attacks.

Software Supply Chain Attacks: How vs. What

Traditional software analysis tools exclusively detect vulnerabilities, leaving users unaware of active, severe threats hidden in their third-party, open source and proprietary components. The first step in reducing the risks of releasing or deploying untrustworthy code is finding and fixing those threats before software is released, acquired or deployed.

ReversingLabs Software Supply Chain Security solution leverages the world’s largest threat repository of malware to locate urgent issues that legacy tools miss.  

Join us for a quick, 20-minute demo to see how we are solving the complex risks that supply chain attacks are bringing to our enterprise customers today.

In this demo, we will demonstrate the benefits of having:

✓ A final exam for software releases and updates - capable of scanning complex, multi-GB binaries in minutes

✓ Identification of multiple types of threats and exposures (malware, tampering, vulnerabilities, mitigations, and secrets) from one platform

✓ A detailed inventory of open source, third-party and proprietary software components and the threats and exposures hidden in each component

✓ Security posture analysis to know your software’s security level and how to improve it

Malware Analysis,Threat Hunting & Software Supply Chain Security Product Updates

Security teams struggle with alert fatigue caused by a variety of factors, which impacts the overall security posture of an enterprise. Too much time is wasted chasing false positives and investigating anomalies that turn out to be normal application behaviors. 

The information provided by software supply chain security during the normal application review process can aid security teams long term by helping tune alerts before software is deployed, or address specific concerns or risks with extra layers of detections as needed. 

This addition to the application review process can lead to significant resource savings, and increased network security.

Key episode takeaways: 

✓ Enterprise security team pain points related to detections and false positives

✓ Identifying behaviors likely to trigger host based security alerts

✓ Reviewing network traffic elements for inclusion in relevant allow lists across security applications and appliances
