IT Risk ManagementIT risk management requires greater application securityOne of the most urgent aspects of IT risk management today is application security. As organizations have been fairly successful in securing their networks, hackers have set their sights on the application layer as the weak link in enterprise security. Through application flaws, backdoors, and other forms of malicious code embedded in enterprise applications, hackers can gain access to private company and customer data, wreaking havoc with a company's credibility and bottom line. Consequently, IT risk management personnel must be diligent about reviewing application code for vulnerabilities before software is purchased or deployed. For effective and cost-efficient application security testing to improve IT risk management, enterprises everywhere turn to Veracode. Learn more about IT risk management and Veracode now Veracode: On-demand application security testing for enhanced IT risk managementVeracode SecurityReview® is the industry's first on-demand, automated, application security testing solution. Veracode simplifies IT risk management by making code review easy and cost-efficient. Built on the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, SecurityReview enables organizations to avoid capital investment in application security software and hardware, as well as the expense of installing, maintaining, and upgrading it. With Veracode, developers, QA, security personnel, and software procurement agents can simply submit applications to Veracode through an online portal and receive test results within 24 to 72 hours. SecurityReview delivers the most accurate results in the industry by employing a binary approach to code review and dynamic web vulnerability scanning. Other products perform static analysis on source code or simple Web scans. But since many applications today reuse binary code from third-party libraries, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software, open source components, and more, source code is often not available for review. By scanning binary code (compiled or "byte" code) instead of source code, Veracode can review 100 percent of any application, delivering a far more comprehensive security assessment for better IT risk management. Simplify management of critical IT issues and risksVeracode SecurityReview aids IT risk management by providing a single point of collaboration for globally dispersed application developers to review and remediate security vulnerabilities in software. As an on-demand service, Veracode can be easily be integrated into the secure software development life cycle and the software procurement process. Test results are delivered in a Fix-First Analysis, prioritized both by threats with the highest risk and threats that can be most easily fixed. This improves management of the remediation process and allows developers and IT security personnel to optimize their time in fixing vulnerabilities. |
