Application Security

Superior application security demands innovative methods

Application security ranks near the top of every enterprise's most important priorities. No application is perfect—whether developed internally or purchased from a third-party, all software has vulnerabilities that can result in security risks. These security vulnerabilities become harder to spot as the threat space moves faster than the security space. And as applications are increasingly being created with COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) and third-party libraries and components developed by outside divisions and offshore development groups, application security grows even more complicated. Adding to the problem is the sheer expense of testing code manually or using tools that require additional training, which can cut deeply into profitability. For enterprises seeking a cost-effective solution for achieving superior application security, Veracode offers SecurityReview®.

Veracode delivers an on-demand, application security solution

Veracode SecurityReview® is the industry's first automated, on-demand, application security testing solution that gives enterprises an easy and cost-effective way to identify flaws in applications—and remedy them before they can damage the business. Unlike other software security testing solutions, Veracode SecurityReview performs vulnerability scanning at the binary level—on compiled or "byte" code rather than on source code—and offers static, dynamic, and manual testing. This approach delivers greater accuracy and makes it simple to perform a comprehensive security review, even testing third-party software, which is normally more difficult because of proprietary concerns when reviewing source code. SecurityReview is a subscription service—there is no software to purchase or install. Testing is automated and on demand, making it more cost-effective than purchasing, installing, and constantly having to update a software solution. And Veracode SecurityReview allows companies to test software and get results within 24 to 72 hours, allowing application development to stay on course or even to accelerate.
