Santa Monica, CA – February 26, 2025 – Binarly, a leading innovator in software supply chain security, today announced that it has been granted U.S. Patent No. US 12,236,262 for its groundbreaking "Machine Learning Technique for Efficiently Scheduling Tasks for Large-Scale Analysis of Binary Executables."
The patent, issued on February 25, 2025, covers a novel method for analyzing binary software efficiently by leveraging machine learning to predict peak memory usage and dynamically allocate computing resources.
The patented technology extracts features from software packages (like binary executables) using advanced preprocessing techniques and machine learning models trained on extensive datasets generated from monitoring memory usage during analysis.
By estimating the peak memory usage required for analysis, the system can determine and allocate the optimal number of memory resource units, or queue the task in a backoff queue when resources are insufficient. This approach enhances the efficiency of large-scale analysis by ensuring that each software package is processed using precisely the amount of computing resources needed, thereby reducing processing delays and lowering operational costs.
The Binarly invention, credited to researchers Sam Thomas, Yegor Vasilenko, Lukas Seidel and Alex Matrosov is particularly significant in the context of security analysis and vulnerability assessment, where rapid and precise evaluation of binary executables is critical for identifying potential security risks within software supply chains.
“Our patented technology represents a significant advancement in the field of software security analysis,” said Matrosov, who is CEO and Head of Research at Binarly. “By intelligently predicting and managing resource allocation for binary analysis, we can dramatically decrease the cost of vulnerability detection, ultimately contributing to a more secure digital ecosystem.”
“We’re proud to say that the techniques described in this patent have been implemented in our flagship Binarly Transparency Platform since last year,” Matrosov added.
The invention is expected to have broad applications in enterprise environments where large volumes of software need to be analyzed quickly and efficiently. Binarly anticipates that this technology will not only enhance the performance of existing analysis pipelines but also enable new approaches to automated vulnerability management and risk assessment.
