Anyone working in software development in the Department of War over the past five years has seen the requirements landscape shift significantly. From the introduction of SBOM mandates to the Software Fast Track (SWFT) initiative launched in May 2025, the DoD is focused on delivering secure software, faster.
The challenge for defense programs is that meeting these requirements, particularly for embedded systems, often results in increased labor and difficulty in getting tools approved and deployed.
That’s why we’re excited to share that the RunSafe Security Platform is now available on Iron Bank, the DoD’s hardened repository of pre-assessed and approved DevSecOps solutions.
As a verified publisher, RunSafe provides DoD software development teams with access to Software Bills of Materials (SBOM) generation, supply chain risk management (SCRM), and code protection through an ecosystem they already trust.
Why Iron Bank? A More Secure Path
Iron Bank is built to help defense programs quickly deploy new tools without spending months navigating approval processes. Every product listed on Iron Bank goes through rigorous security assessments, container hardening, and compliance validation. Because the containers are scanned daily for vulnerabilities, DoD teams gain access to resilient tools that keep the software supply chain secure and get software to deployment faster.
With RunSafe listed as a verified publisher, DoD teams and integrators can now pull down the platform directly from Iron Bank, making it easier for defense programs to integrate and use.
What RunSafe Brings to Iron Bank
The RunSafe Security Platform addresses some of the toughest challenges in embedded software security. Here’s what you can access through Iron Bank:
C/C++ SBOM Generation
RunSafe provides the authoritative build-time SBOM generator for embedded systems and C/C++ projects. Automating SBOM generation is critical for meeting DoD requirements, especially for unstructured C/C++ code where traditional SBOM tools fall short.
Supply Chain Risk Management
SCRM capabilities enable DoD teams to take action, not just generate a static SBOM. Teams can monitor for new vulnerabilities and check license enforcement and provenance. With a complete, correct SBOM, teams can implement required SCRM practices.
Runtime Code Protection
RunSafe hardens binaries against exploitation through moving target defense (e.g. Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP)), defending weapons systems at runtime to increase resilience. This resilience applies to future zero days as well, providing fielded weapon systems protection between software upgrade cycles that can be two years apart.
Accessing the RunSafe Security Platform on Iron Bank
If your program is working to modernize DevSecOps practices, automate SBOM generation, or secure embedded systems without code rewrites, RunSafe is now available directly on Iron Bank.
