Code Analysis

Superior code analysis offers greater security

The enterprise today is under constant attack from criminal hackers and other malicious threats. As the enterprise network has become more secure, attackers have turned their attention to the application layer, which now contains 90 percent of all vulnerabilities, according to Gartner. To protect the enterprise, security administrators must perform detailed code analysis when developing or buying software. Yet such code analysis can be extremely costly—on-premises software solutions are expensive to purchase, deploy, and maintain, and they can easily impair development timelines to the point where speed-to-market is compromised. That's why so many leading enterprises are turning to highly effective and cost-efficient code analysis solutions from Veracode.

Outsource code analysis with Veracode

Veracode SecurityReview® is the industry's first automated, on-demand, application security testing solution. Whether you are analyzing applications developed internally or by third parties, SecurityReview enables you to quickly and cost-effectively scan software for flaws and get actionable results within 24 to 72 hours. As an independent and trusted analysis of the security of your applications, Veracode enables you to better protect your enterprise without sacrificing productivity or profitability. Using an on-demand, Software-as-a-Service solution allows you to more easily control costs, paying only for the services you need. And because Veracode scans at the binary level, reviewing compiled or "byte" code rather than source code, you get the most accurate and comprehensive analysis available. All applications, regardless of their origin, can be scanned and reviewed. Even third-party software, when developers may be prohibited from reviewing source code, can be scanned at the binary level. Veracode SecurityReview is simply the most effective solution for code analysis in the industry today.

Get comprehensive analysis, improved accuracy in code review

Veracode SecurityReview performs both dynamic and static code analysis and finds security vulnerabilities that include malicious code as well as the absence of functionality that may lead to security breaches. For example, SecurityReview can determine whether sufficient encryption is employed and whether a piece of software contains any application backdoors through hard-coded user names or passwords. Veracode's binary scanning approach produces more accurate testing results, using methodologies developed and continually refined by a team of world-class experts. And because Veracode returns fewer false positives, developers can spend more time remediating problems and less time sifting through non-threats.
