SDLC Security

Get a cost-effective solution for SDLC security

Security is a critical aspect of the software development life cycle (SDLC). Effective SDLC security must ensure that new applications are free of flaws that could be exploited for malicious intent, and that they do not lack critical functionality that could leave the enterprise open for attack. But as the variety of threats to enterprise security continues to grow, SDLC security grows more complex, burdening the process with increased costs and expanding timelines. For enterprises that want to improve SDLC security without sacrificing profitability or competitiveness, Veracode offers SecurityReview®.

Outsource your SDLC security concerns to Veracode

Veracode offers a service unique to SDLC security: automated, on-demand, application security testing solutions for analyzing code for flaws and functionality. Veracode SecurityReview is the perfect SDLC solution—with the ability to scan large volumes of code on demand, enterprises can use SecurityReview to quickly and efficiently assess security concerns without creating bottlenecks in the SDLC process. Because Veracode is an outsourced solution offered as a Software-as-a-Service model, enterprises need pay only for the amount of code they need to analyze, and there are no costs for purchasing, installing, maintaining, or training on software.

To improve accuracy and comprehensiveness in software assessment, SecurityReview combines static, dynamic, and manual testing capability and scans code after it has been compiled—at the binary level or "byte" code level rather than the source level, as other solutions do. This offers two distinct advantages: One, binary code analysis is more efficient, so vulnerabilities can be found more quickly and with fewer false positives. And two, binary code analysis is the most complete application security testing method because all code can be scanned regardless of origin. Whereas third-party software often presents application security assessment difficulties because of the sensitive nature of reviewing proprietary source code, Veracode allows enterprises to evaluate both internally developed and third-party code, providing the most comprehensive software assessment solution available today.

Enhance SDLC efficiency and security

Veracode SecurityReview holds tremendous benefits for SDLC security:

• Reduced time-to-market. As an on-demand service, Veracode can help accelerate development timelines. Veracode's online analysis platform can be easily integrated into any secure software development life cycle and deployed across geographic and functional boundaries.
• Fewer false positives. With the industry's most accurate results, Veracode allows development teams to spend time fixing real flaws rather than responding to false positives.
• Greater efficiency. Veracode reports allow development teams to automatically prioritize software vulnerability by taking into account enterprise business objectives, acceptable levels of risk and the estimated time to fix each issue. The result is a "Fix First" list and application ratings that help optimize the remedial process.
