In 2025, RL's research team identified a 73% increase in malicious open-source packages, with nearly 90% of detections concentrated in npm. That includes the discovery of Shai Hulud, the first registry-native npm worm ever observed. Spectra Assure closes that gap, automatically inspecting binaries, virtual containers, AI models, open-source packages, and third-party software to validate their integrity and security before the code they contain is curated, released, procured, or deployed.
Mario Vuksan, CEO of ReversingLabs, stated: "We're honored to receive the Cybersecurity Star Award. This recognition reinforces our belief that meaningful security is measured in outcomes, not alerts. Those are the challenges our customers face every day."
Spectra Assure gives organizations the visibility and control they need at every stage of the software lifecycle, whether that's reviewing software before a purchase, securing a software build pipeline, or validating a final release before it reaches customers. Over the last year, Spectra Assure has delivered a 1000% efficiency improvement for purchasing and deploying third-party commercial software, reduced approval times for employee software/freeware requests from 8 hours to 1 hour, and reduced Third-Party Cyber Risk Management times from 3 months to 1 week and time to secure Virtual Machines from 8 hours to 30 minutes.
