About secure.software CLI tools

ReversingLabs secure.software solutions include a set of multi-platform CLI tools for fast and flexible software package analysis. The rl-secure CLI tool scans software packages and helps users improve their software quality and security. The rl-deploy CLI tool optimizes the process of integrating rl-secure with DevSecOps tools and processes.

✨ New in secure.software CLI docs ✨

The CLI section of the docs website has changed to accommodate new tools and features available to our users.
Here are some of the most visible changes:

  • Wherever possible, we clearly indicate the CLI tool by its name.
  • We added a sidebar category called "Cloud deployment" with instructions for using the rl-deploy tool.
  • Installation instructions for rl-secure now mention rl-deploy as an option.
  • We renamed the "Reference" sidebar category to "Reference docs", and "Configuration" is now called "CLI configuration".
  • We created a guide for the new ReversingLabs Levels feature in the "CLI Configuration" category.
  • Instructions for updating and uninstalling rl-secure are in a new sidebar group called "Maintenance guides".
  • "Policies" are now in the Concepts section of the website - you can access it from the top navbar.

Benefits of secure.software CLI​

Self-managed deployments of rl-secure let you experiment with scanning capabilities, control usage costs, implement full shift-left capabilities, and process sensitive information without submitting anything to the cloud.

rl-deploy makes it easier to:

  • Install and use rl-secure in short-lived, temporary environments and on machines that don't have a stable machine number.
  • Integrate rl-secure in your build pipelines and automate security scanning of your build artifacts.

With rl-secure, you can:

  • Scan your software release packages on-premises and in your CI/CD pipelines to prevent threats from reaching production.
  • Compare package versions to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced in the open source libraries and third-party components you use.
  • Prevent private keys, tokens, credentials and other sensitive information from leaking into production.
  • Improve developer experience and ensure compliance with security best practices.
  • Generate actionable analysis reports to help you prioritize and remediate issues in collaboration with your DevOps and security teams.

rl-secure is designed to help you:

  • Understand how your software behaves
  • Improve your code and container security
  • Optimize your software development lifecycle

You can rely on rl-secure to:

  • Identify code quality issues
  • Detect vulnerable dependencies
  • Highlight problematic signatures and other certificate-related weaknesses
  • Warn about leaked secrets and other sensitive information in software packages
