Application Security Software

Protecting the enterprise is made easier with application security software alternative

For the enterprise, security is a constant and costly endeavor. Threats from cyber warfare seem to multiply daily, and companies must be diligent about finding and fixing software vulnerabilities. Application security software promises to help by finding flaws in internal and third-party programs. But applications have become increasingly complex—applications may be built with code from third-parties, off-shore providers, open sources, off-the-shelf packages, and internal development teams. With such a "mash-up," it's hard to find application security software that can effectlvely find vulnerabilities quickly and at a reasonable cost. For enterprises that want a highly reliable and cost-effective alternative to application security software, Veracode has developed SecurityReview®, the industry's first automated, on-demand, application security testing solution.

Veracode: A superior alternative to application security software

Veracode offers a new approach to application security that doesn't involve purchasing software. Veracode SecurityReview is a subscription based on an on-demand service that provides automated code security analysis. By eliminating the need to purchase, install, and constantly update application security software, Veracode enables enterprises to save money while getting faster and more accurate test results. Where application security software tools test source code, SecurityReview tests for vulnerabilities after code has been compiled—at the binary level (also called "byte" code). Not only does binary code analysis increase accuracy, but it also allows enterprises to test third-party applications without having to view proprietary source code. Thus Veracode application security testing is complete, and enterprises may choose to outsource software development without fear of weakening security. With test results normally returned within 72 hours—the fastest time to benefit in the industry—Veracode enables companies to maintain the aggressive development schedules needed to stay competitive without compromising security .

Enhance security, speed application development and reduce software costs

Veracode SecurityReview provides remarkable benefits for the enterprise:

Reduced cost. As a subscription service, SecurityReview reduces the cost of testing code, as enterprises pay only for the amount of service they require, and not for the cost of buying and updating software.

Increased production capabilities. With Veracode's ability to turn around actionable results within 24 to 72 hours, companies can more easily stay on schedule when developing or purchasing applications. Enterprises can easily integrate testing through Veracode into any production schedule, and may even be able to accelerate secure software development with an easier and more efficient testing routine.

Improved accuracy. Veracode's team of experts constantly re-evaluates and refines the testing methodology to produce fewer false positives so that companies can focus on fixing real problems faster.

Comprehensive review. Veracode tests both internal and external code, performs dynamic application security testing and static code analysis, and locates both malicious code, as well as the absence of functionality—making it the most comprehensive testing solution in the industry.
