Application Security ReviewPioneering application security review helps protect the enterpriseEnterprise applications are under attack from multiple security threats today. Every piece of software must undergo review and testing before deployment or purchase, to make sure it is as free of flaws as possible. Application security review gets more difficult, though, as software increasingly is built with code from multiple sources: internally developed code, COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) software, open-source code, and third-party or offshore vendors. Finding a cost-effective solution to help review application security becomes paramount in order to keep the cost of securing software from hurting profitability. That's why so many enterprises today are turning to Veracode for a highly effective application security review solution that is also extremely cost-effective. Veracode offers automated application security review serviceVeracode SecurityReview® is a new and innovative approach to application security review. SecurityReview is an automated, on-demand, application security testing solution that performs code analysis not at the source code level, where other solutions normally look, but at the binary level on compiled or "byte" code. This approach allows for more comprehensive and more accurate security review. By reviewing application code after it has been compiled, Veracode allows the enterprise to test even third-party software that would normally be difficult to assess because of proprietary source code issues. And because SecurityReview is a subscription service—enterprises submit code and get results via a Web interface—there are no software packages to purchase, no updates to manage, and no IT personnel to hire. Enterprises save money by purchasing only the software security assurance they need from Veracode's outsourced solution, allowing companies to stay focused on their core competencies. Veracode can easily scale to meet demand, and with results returned in 24 to 72 hours, enterprises get a highly accurate security review that allows development teams to stay on schedule and within budget. Increase security with more accurate review of applicationsAccuracy is one of the most significant benefits of Veracode SecurityReview. Veracode employs a team of world-class experts to continually create and refine Veracode's software security testing methods. As a result, SecurityReview returns more accurate results with fewer false positives, allowing companies to focus on fixing the most serious problems faster. Veracode also provides a remarkably comprehensive code review, testing both internally and externally developed applications, seeking out malicious code and application backdoors, as well as problems with functionality—performing both dynamic and static analysis. And Veracode allows development teams to incorporate regular and routine review into any development schedule, so development or purchase of critical applications can continue apace or even accelerate. |
