File-Based Vulnerability
Assessment
Detect known software vulnerabilities by directly analyzing files before applications, or libraries ever execute.
File-Based Vulnerability Assessment proactively identifies vulnerable software components at the file level,
closing security gaps left by traditional post-installation scanners.

Traditional Vulnerability Scanning
Leaves Critical Gaps
Post-installation scanning and footprint-based detection miss vulnerabilities in software before deployment,
leaving systems exposed to potential threats.
Vulnerabilities Are Detected Too Late
Most scanners identify vulnerabilities only after software is installed and running, creating a window where attackers can exploit known weaknesses.
Incomplete Visibility Into Software Components
Traditional tools rely on system footprints, registry entries, or package managers that can be missing, altered, or intentionally hidden.
High Risk in Isolated and OT Environments
Air-gapped, OT, and critical infrastructure environments cannot afford vulnerable software entering networks undetected through removable media or updates.

Proactive Vulnerability Detection at the File Level
File-Based Vulnerability Assessment identifies vulnerable software by directly analyzing files before installation, execution, or network access.
Pre-Installation
Vulnerability Detection
Scan files before deployment to identify known vulnerabilities and prevent risky software from entering environments in the first place.
Binary-Level Software
Intelligence
Analyze executables, installers, and libraries directly—without relying on installed software footprints or system state.
Protection for High-
Security Environments
Secure air-gapped, OT, and critical systems by assessing files before they reach isolated networks.
