Binarly is a firmware and software supply chain security company that reads the code no one else looks at - the layer below the operating system. Its AI-powered Transparency Platform analyzes firmware binaries to surface known and unknown vulnerabilities, malicious implants, misconfigurations and cryptographic weaknesses, then builds a genuine software bill of materials by reconstructing dependencies from the binary itself rather than trusting a manifest. Founded in 2021 by veteran reverse engineers Alex Matrosov and Claudiu Teodorescu, the company has disclosed hundreds of high-impact firmware vulnerabilities, including the widely covered PKfail Secure Boot flaw.
