Security TestingSecurity testing provides critical protectionSecurity testing offers the promise of improved IT risk management for the enterprise. By testing for flaws in software, security testing solutions seek to remove vulnerabilities before software is purchased or deployed—and before the flaws can be exploited. Yet for the competitive enterprise, software testing can be problematic. The cost of purchasing, installing, maintaining, and hiring IT security assessment administrators to operate it can be costly. And the time it takes to execute can impact productivity by slowing secure software development. That's why so many leading enterprises have chosen the automated and on-demand security testing service from Veracode. Veracode delivers on-demand security testingFounded by experts from @stake, Symantec, Salesforce.com, Verisign, and Guardent, Veracode is the world's first provider of automated, on-demand, application security testing solutions. Veracode's SecurityReview® uses an online code analysis platform so companies can submit code for vulnerability scanning and get results back within 24 to 72 hours. As an on-demand service, Veracode can handle large volumes of code, therefore secure application development can continue without the bottlenecks often associated with software testing. The most innovative aspect of SecurityReview is that it scans compiled code (or "byte" code), rather than source code, to seek out flaws. This new approach to software security vulnerability assessment allows Veracode to return the most accurate results faster. Companies can use Veracode both for internally developed applications and for third-party code, since there is no need to view proprietary source code as part of the assessment. In a business world where threats are constantly evolving, Veracode delivers the solutions to achieve protection effectively and cost-efficiently. More accurate testing for greater securityVeracode's security testing solution raises the bar on accuracy and completeness. With the ability to perform both static analysis and dynamic analysis, Veracode tests for both malicious code as well as the lack of functionality that might lead to vulnerabilities. Veracode's testing methodologies, developed and enforced by a team of world-class experts, return fewer false positives, allowing companies to spend more time fixing serious flaws. Veracode also reduces operational burden by allowing companies to outsource software assurance rather than needing to invest in hardware, software, and personnel to operate and maintain it. And because Veracode is available through an easy-to-use online platform, it can be quickly integrated into the software development life cycle of even the most distributed enterprise networks. |
