Security is of utmost concern for embedded software used in mobile, IoT and automotive industries. Although significant security vulnerabilities have been discovered in popular open source software, majority of companies still heavily rely on open source code to build their software products. While it is possible to build a secure product by avoiding the use of known vulnerable code, the difficulty in doing so arises from the fact that most third-party software is distributed in binary format without the source code, making it extremely difficult to identify the potential vulnerabilities.

Insignary Inc. has evolved the Binary Analysis Tool (BAT), a framework which has been deployed since 2009 to detect open source license compliance issues, into a commercial solution called Insignary Clarity. Insignary Clarity, in addition to identifying license compliance issues, enables proactive scanning of embedded firmware for known, preventable security problems to facilitate “security by default.” It provides increased confidence to security and compliance teams in the deployment of products containing open source software.

Insignary Clarity was first announced at LinuxCon Europe in Berlin in October 2016. We are currently offering early access to the solution for select customers and partners through our Beta Program. It will be publicly available starting February 2017.

Insignary was incorporated in 2016 in South Korea. We own the IP behind the Binary Analysis Tool (BAT) and have exclusive rights to distribute BAT commercially. We are backed by venture capital and have significant business and technical talent in our executive team with extensive experience in the software industry, venture capital and business development. Furthermore, our founder team is specialized in open source, compliance and security.
