Software Supply Chain Security

Know your software risk before it becomes an incident. Binary analysis shows what is inside the firmware and software you run, before it deploys.

xOT Risk Begins in the Supply Chain
xOT risk does not begin at the network boundary. It begins in the compiled code inside firmware and software. Roughly 80% of that code comes from open-source contributors the buyer cannot see (NetRise, 2026). Dragos Software Supply Chain Security analyzes compiled binaries to show what ships.
What Verified Software Evidence Gives You

Software declarations are not software evidence. An attestation says what should be in a product. Binary analysis of the compiled artifact shows what is. That gap is where supply chain risk lives.

Know Risk Before Deployment
Vulnerabilities, exposed credentials, and misconfigurations embedded in device software and firmware are surfaced before those devices enter operations and often before a CVE exists at all.
Scope Exposure in Under a Minute
When a component is compromised, its blast radius is scoped in under a minute, not days or months, and matched against every device, so teams act on evidence.
Benefit 3 Verify Vendors with Evidence
Verify Vendors with Evidence
Before accepting vendor software, know what is actually inside it rather than what was declared. Procurement decisions rest on the artifact, not the attestation.
Benefit 4 Meet Transparency Mandates
Meet Transparency Mandates
SBOM management and audit-ready documentation support EU Cyber Resilience Act readiness, NERC CIP, NIS2, and TSA directives.
Solution Brief
Compiled firmware and software is analyzed without source code to generate a verified SBOM for every device. Reachability shows which vulnerable code actually executes, and provenance flags contributor risk early.
Why Dragos for Supply Chain Risk

Binary analysis exists elsewhere. So does provenance. Only Dragos pairs them with xOT threat intelligence, placing every finding against the adversaries that target it and the assets that run it.

Dragos Intelligence Dragon Eye Stock
The Dragos Intelligence Fabric
Findings feed the same living knowledge engine that powers the Dragos Platform, built from over 5 petabytes of daily OT telemetry, a decade of adversary research, and frontline incident response.
xOT Context, Not IT Scoring
Reachability shows which vulnerable code actually executes, and “Now, Next, Never” adds xOT context, so teams act on the 3-6% of vulnerabilities that need it.
One Environment, One Platform
Findings connect to Dragos Exposure Management, asset visibility, and threat detection, so you can start before the network and grow into full xOT security.
Solution Brief
How binary-level analysis of compiled firmware and software surfaces the risks vendor SBOMs and attestations miss, and what that changes for procurement, compliance, and response.

FAQs

An SBOM is an inventory of the components inside a piece of software. xOT devices are long-lived, rarely patched, and increasingly built on open-source components. Without an SBOM, defenders cannot answer which assets contain a vulnerable component when a CVE is published.

A vendor SBOM describes what the vendor believes it shipped. Binary analysis examines the compiled artifact itself and routinely surfaces components, credentials, and misconfigurations that attestations miss. The gap between the two is where supply chain risk sits.

It adds unreviewed components. Code produced with AI tooling pulls in libraries and dependencies no developer on the project vetted. 44% of AI-generated code fails security testing, a rate unchanged across four years and 100+ models.

Executive Order 14028, the EU Cyber Resilience Act, NERC CIP, NIS2, and TSA security directives increasingly require organizations to demonstrate what is inside the software running their operations. SBOM generation and audit-ready documentation support each of these frameworks.
