Traditional vulnerability scanners are not equipped to address supply chain security challenges as threats increasingly target deeper system layers. While scanners focus on applications and operating systems, they lack visibility into low-level components such as hardware and firmware, where hidden risks often reside. Modern supply chain security requires understanding how components from various vendors interact and ensuring they function securely together. Organizations also need to verify that each asset is authentic, intact, and free from tampering. Without these capabilities, vulnerability scanners leave critical gaps, highlighting the need for specialized tools that provide deeper insight, validation, and protection across the entire technology stack.
