Software Trust Manager offers two types of threat detection. You can scan your software for malware, vulnerabilities, secrets, and more before releasing your software for consumption using our Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) service powered by ReversingLabs. You can also scan Developer ID-signed software for malicious components before distribution outside of the Mac App Store.

Dica

If you do not see Threat detection in the left navigation menu, contact your account manager to add ReversingLabs integration to your service agreement. For more information about how to run a scan and interpret a scan report, refer to Threat detection.
