Why complex binary analysis is an essential tool for TPSRM

This piece summarizes an ISACA webinar sponsored by ReversingLabs on third-party software risk management, noting DBIR-reported growth in breaches linked to third-party providers and arguing that traditional TPRM methods (vendor questionnaires, RFIs, AV, pentesting) are insufficient for software supply chain risks. It advocates increased SBOM use and, critically, independent complex binary analysis (e.g., RL Spectra Assure) to verify commercial software for malware, tampering, vulnerabilities, and secrets, and to operationalize scalable, continuous TPSRM across large software portfolios.
