Application Security Assessment Software

Seeking an alternative to application security assessment software?

Application security assessment software isn't all it's cracked up to be. It promises to enhance security by testing software for vulnerabilities. But when threats evolve constantly, application security assessment software must be constantly updated. A less-than-accurate and incomplete solution based on source code analysis can create so many false positives that developers spin their wheels solving problems that don't exist rather than prioritizing and dealing with the most significant problems. The cost of deploying and maintaining an assessment solution can be prohibitively high. And unless the application can be easily integrated into the secure software development life cycle, productivity and competitiveness will suffer. For companies seeking a better approach than application security assessment software, Veracode has the answer.

Veracode outperforms application security assessment software

Veracode SecurityReview® is the first automated, on-demand, application security testing solution. With Veracode, companies no longer have to purchase expensive application security assessment software, spend the time and money to administer and update it, train development teams in how to use it, or worry that it is not up-to-date enough to deliver accurate results. As an on-demand Software-as-a-Service using an online code analysis platform, Veracode makes it simple for development teams or software purchasers to submit code for review and get actionable results within 24 to 72 hours. Most importantly, unlike other cyber security assessment solutions, Veracode actually performs analysis at the binary level, on compiled or "byte" code rather than on source code, delivering complete results—faster, more accurate, and less prone to false positives. And since binary code analysis does not involve review of proprietary source code, Veracode makes it easy to evaluate the applications of vendors, third-parties, partners, and code to be acquired from potential mergers. There truly is no more complete and effective way to achieve application security.

Speed application development, reduce software security costs with Veracode assessment

Veracode SecurityReview provides a number of significant benefits over application security assessment software:

  • Cost-efficiency. By providing outsourced software assurance, Veracode enables companies to optimize their spending on security. No investment in hardware or software is needed. No personnel need to be hired to install, train, operate, and update vulnerability assessment software. And Veracode allows development teams to spend less time on testing and more time on their core competencies.
  • Accelerated timelines. As an outsourced service, Veracode allows development teams to test large amounts of code quickly, enabling them to stay on track or accelerate development timelines.
  • Comprehensive analysis. Combining static, dynamic, and manual testing capabilities, Veracode provides the most comprehensive assessment possible, as companies can easily test code throughout the enterprise, whether developed internally or externally.
