Software binary analysis (SBA) features
DigiCert® Software Trust Manager's threat detection services allow you to scan open-source components in your development workflow to help your team automatically track, manage, and remediate licensing issues and vulnerabilities before releasing your software.
SBA scans via threat detection services are a security tool used to analyze the compiled binary code of an application or system without executing it.
SBA is also known as a binary analysis or binary code analysis.
Currently, there are two types of service tiers, a free service (named Software Assurance Service) and a paid service (named Supply Chain Compromise Risk Assessment Service).
At a high level, if you run a scan under the free service, then that scan data will be purged after 7 days. Even if you upgrade your service within 7 days, scan data that ran under the free service will be purged after 7 days.
To retain scan data, you must upgrade your service, and then execute a scan.
Service tiers
Review the following table to understand the differences between SBA service tiers.
