aDolus FACT (Software and Firmware Validation Solutions) is a file trustworthiness assessment platform designed to help organizations validate software and firmware before installation on mission-critical devices. FACT analyzes submitted files by decomposing them into subcomponents — including hidden ones — and generating an enriched Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). Each component is evaluated against an aggregated intelligence database of known valid and malicious files. The platform produces a "Trust Score" — a quantitative metric that summarizes a file's overall trustworthiness. This score is intended to support security policy decisions and reduce the risk of counterfeit or tampered software entering an organization's supply chain. Core analysis capabilities include: - Malware scanning using multiple engines and techniques to detect deeply buried threats - Code-signing verification, including full certificate chain evaluation - Vulnerability correlation using ML and NLP across multiple vulnerability databases - Digital fingerprinting for file identity confirmation The Trust Score and underlying intelligence can be used to whitelist trusted packages, uncover dangerous or counterfeit files, identify component vendors, and maintain an audit trail for governance purposes. FACT can be embedded into internal SecDevOps workflows via API. The platform offers two levels of analysis: simple digital fingerprinting or in-depth analysis for hidden vulnerabilities and malware. It is particularly relevant for OT/ICS environments and supply chain security use cases.
