The Future of IoT Security: A Modern Approach to Scanning with Source Code, Binary, and Third-Party Analysis

Traditional vulnerability scanners weren’t built for IoT. They analyze package manifests and application-layer software, but they completely miss compiled binaries, embedded firmware, and hidden third-party components—leaving your devices exposed to undetected vulnerabilities, supply chain risks, and regulatory non-compliance.

As cyber threats evolve and compliance requirements like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) demand deeper visibility, IoT security teams need to go beyond standard scanning. In this webinar, we’ll cover:

• Why scanning source code isn’t enough—critical risks lurk in compiled binaries
• How third-party and open-source components create hidden security gaps
• Where traditional scanning tools fail—and what they’re not telling you
• How firmware and binary analysis uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do

Join us for a webinar Thursday, May 22, 11 AM ET, that digs deeper into source code, binaries, and third-party components to reveal risks standard scanners simply miss.
