What is Binary Management?
Binary Management software provides capabilities to help organizations effectively govern, manage, and secure their binary code assets across the software development lifecycle. Key capabilities include:
- Binary cataloging and inventory - Discover and inventory binary artifacts from across the organization's infrastructure and development pipelines.
- Provenance tracking - Understand the lineage and transformations of binaries from creation through distribution.
- Security analysis - Identify security issues in binaries through SAST, SCA, and malware analysis.
- Distribution controls - Control, monitor, and analyze how binaries flow through the organization and beyond.
- Policy enforcement - Define and automate policy enforcement for binary usage, movement, security levels, licensing, and more.
Benefits of Binary Management solutions include improved visibility into binary risk exposure, accelerated detection and remediation of issues, automated governance and compliance, and centralized control over the binary software supply chain. Target users are security, development, IT ops, and governance teams within software-driven enterprises.
