Secure Software Development Life Cycle

Accelerate your secure software development life cycle

A secure software development life cycle is critical for enterprise security. As applications are developed, flaws must be found and fixed before the software is deployed, or the enterprise faces significant risks from cyber warfare. One of the keys to an effective secure software development life cycle is in the security testing phase. The quality of code review during this part of the life cycle determines whether the application security audit will help speed secure development timelines or drag them down. Inaccurate code analysis may not only miss vulnerabilities that will create problems later, but it could also produce many false positives, so that developers waste too much time hunting down flaws that don't exist. That's why enterprises focused on accuracy and cost-efficiency in the secure software development life cycle turn to Veracode for solutions.

Veracode: On-demand solutions for the secure software development life cycle

Veracode provides automated, on-demand application security testing solutions for enterprises throughout the world. Veracode SecurityReview® is an outsourced service that can effectively and cost-efficiently identify flaws introduced in an application through coding errors or malicious intent. SecurityReview brings greater efficiency and accuracy to the secure software development life cycle through dynamic and static binary analysis. By scanning for flaws at the binary level—on compiled or "byte" code rather than the source code level as other solutions do—Veracode delivers faster and more accurate results. Evaluating third-party software is easier too, as the sensitivities over reviewing proprietary source code are not in play. Veracode allows companies to scan all software regardless of its origin, delivering the most comprehensive secure software audit in the industry today.

Integrate secure Veracode software assessment into the life cycle of application development

As an on-demand service, SecurityReview enhances the secure software development life cycle by performing analysis and returning actionable results within 24 to 72 hours. That means development timelines can be more easily met or even accelerated. Enterprises are not required to invest in hardware or software; nor must they budget for the personnel to deploy, manage, update, and operate it. With an easy-to-use online code analysis platform, Veracode allows geographically dispersed teams to quickly access application security review results throughout the life cycle, prioritizing fixes and optimizing remedial efforts. And with a world-class team of experts defining and continually refining the testing methodology, Veracode delivers the most accurate testing results with the fewest false positives in the industry.
