Security Assessment

Security assessment finds flaws in software

Protecting your enterprise gets more complicated every year. New threats emerge daily.

Software becomes more complex. Applications today may use code from third-party vendors, off-shore sources, open-source applications, acquired assets, and internal development teams. With such a hybrid approach, it's no wonder so many threats are directed at the application layer today. A security assessment solution can help. By identifying security vulnerabilities in software, security assessment technology provides greater protection for your company.

Yet many security assessment solutions can reduce profits and productivity: they may be prohibitively costly and can slow the speed of application development. That's why Veracode has developed SecurityReview®, the industry's first on-demand and automated security assessment service.

Veracode: On-demand security assessment

Veracode is the industry's first provider of automated, on-demand, application security testing solutions

for security assessment. Developed by a world-class group of application security review experts from @stake, Salesforce.com, Symantec, Verisign, and Guardent, Veracode offers outsourced services to perform assessment and discover software vulnerabilities that are the result of malicious intent or coding errors.

For greater accuracy and comprehensive assessment, Veracode SecurityReview performs vulnerability scanning at the binary level (on compiled or "byte" code), rather than the source code level. This innovative approach makes the application security audit faster and the most accurate—and allows companies to test third-party software without needing to review proprietary source code. As an outsourced service, Veracode performs dynamic, static, and manual analysis through an online code analysis platform. With the bandwidth to handle large volumes of code on demand, Veracode allows application development to proceed more quickly. Results are available within 24 to 72 hours, and can be prioritized both by seriousness of the flaw and time to resolution, allowing developers to make the most efficient use of their time. There simply is no more effective or cost-efficient way to perform software assurance.

Reduce assessment costs, increase security

Veracode SecurityReview provides a number of advantages for the enterprise:

Reduced operational burden. With Veracode, developers are freed from the need to install, learn, operate, and update software tools. No investment in hardware or software is required.

Fewer false positives. A world-class team of experts develops and enforces Veracode testing methodologies, yielding a lower rate of false positives. That means companies can spend more time remediating flaws and less time responding to non-threats.

Quick global deployment. Veracode's ease-of-use and on-demand service make it possible to quickly deploy global application security. You can literally be up and running with Veracode in a matter of hours. And as an on-demand solution built on the Software-as-a-Service model, Veracode can be easily integrated into any application development life cycle, as well as making SOA security much simpler.
