Binary Analysis

Binary analysis delivers greater application security

Application security is a top priority for enterprises today. To protect the organization, companies must test software before it is purchased or deployed, and fix any that may leave the enterprise vulnerable to attack. But as applications have grown in complexity, testing has become more costly and less accurate. A new testing technique, binary analysis, is helping to affordably produce more accurate test results. Binary analysis tests software by scanning compiled code, or "byte code", instead of source code as other products do. And for highly effective security testing with binary analysis, enterprises worldwide turn to Veracode.

Veracode: on-demand application security with binary analysis

Veracode is the first company to offer automated, on-demand application security testing using binary analysis. By testing compiled code rather than source code, Veracode allows the enterprise to effectively test applications containing code from multiple sources -- off-the-shelf software, third-party applications, outsourced and offshore vendors, as well as internally developed applications and code from other sources. Veracode's solution is an automated and on-demand service built on the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. This means there is no hardware or software to purchase, install or learn. Developers can submit code through an online platform and get results within 24 to 72 hours, accelerating secure software development while ensuring that applications are secure. Enterprises can scale their security testing on an as-needed basis, with no additional capital or operational investments. And Veracode's multi-tenant platform provides a single point of collaboration between geographically dispersed development teams, enabling enterprises to quickly roll out security best practices to developers, purchasing executives, quality assurance and security personnel.

Veracode combines binary with dynamic analysis and manual testing

Veracode offers the most comprehensive approach to application development security and secure software procurement. By combining static binary code analysis with dynamic testing and manual penetration testing in single on-demand service, Veracode enables the enterprise to test 100 percent of application code. That allows purchasing agents to audit software completely before buying, and for development teams to cost-efficiently conduct security reviews at multiple points in the development lifecycle. Test results are more accurate with fewer false positives, so developers can spend less time chasing dead ends and more time actually developing applications. Veracode's patented binary analysis solution provides enterprises with a cost-efficient and highly effective way to improve security while reducing operational burden.
