Binarly

Binarly is a cybersecurity company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company focuses on firmware supply chain security, offering an AI-powered platform designed to identify vulnerabilities and threats that exist below the operating system level.

Binarly's core technology uses binary code analysis, deep code inspection, and machine learning to detect firmware vulnerabilities, malicious firmware modifications, and supply chain risks without requiring access to source code.

The platform is agentless and cloud-agnostic, making it deployable across enterprise environments regardless of infrastructure. A key capability of the platform is generating firmware Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), giving security teams visibility into the components present within firmware images.

The company addresses a gap in traditional security tooling, which historically has lacked visibility into firmware-level threats. Binarly's platform is designed to detect threats such as UEFI bootkits and firmware implants that have historically evaded detection for extended periods. The platform provides actionable insights for incident response, including root cause analysis that goes beyond simple integrity-monitoring approaches.

Binarly's target market includes enterprise security teams and device manufacturers. The company offers a free binary scan tool (FwHunt) for public use, in addition to its enterprise platform. Co-founders Alex Matrosov and Claudiu Teodorescu previously held security research roles at NVIDIA, Intel, ESET, BlackBerry, Cylance, and FireEye.

Binarly has raised funding from Westwave Capital and Acrobator Ventures, among other cybersecurity-focused investors.
