ReversingLabs launched Spectra Assure Catalog on October 28, introducing a central place for employees and IT teams to obtain software cleared under their organization's security policies.
The company said the feature is available immediately to Spectra Assure customers, enabled by default without a contract change.
According to its announcement, the system imports packages from vendor download addresses and analyzes the finished files for malware, tampering and vulnerabilities without requiring source code. It then assigns a pass or fail verdict against the customer's policy.
Only approved versions are published in the catalog for download. Rejected requests or time-limited exceptions can be accompanied by a shareable assessment explaining the decision.
ReversingLabs said the catalog works alongside existing application stores and distribution systems, determining which packages are cleared rather than replacing those tools.
The product is intended to connect security review with the exact installer distributed to staff. Its advertised capabilities are company descriptions; publication of this announcement does not establish that any software package is free of all security risks.
