Software Assurance

Software assurance provides greater enterprise security

Enterprise applications are under attack. The majority of malicious threats today target applications, and enterprises must constantly seek assurance that the software they are developing or buying is free of vulnerabilities. Software assurance involves testing applications for malicious code, application backdoors, design flaws, or lack of security functionality that may lead to vulnerabilities. But acceptance testing is difficult and costly when using traditional tools. That's why Veracode has developed a new approach to software assurance—the world's first automated, on-demand, application security testing solution for more effective and cost-efficient IT risk management.

Get on-demand software assurance with Veracode

Veracode SecurityReview® offers an on-demand approach to software assurance—and is the industry's most accurate and comprehensive security testing solution. Because SecurityReview is "on demand," organizations can achieve assurance more cost-effectively. They no longer need to invest in expensive application security software or hardware, nor pay for installation, maintenance, and training. When an application needs to be tested, code is submitted to SecurityReview through an online platform, and results are returned within 24 to 72 hours. A team of world-class security experts is continually updating SecurityReview in order to address evolving threats and technologies.

Because SecurityReivew combines multiple testing techniques, organizations get more accurate results and 100 percent code coverage. Other products and traditional tools test for vulnerabilities by scanning source code. But source code is often not available for review. In commercial software, source code is proprietary—it is intellectual property and can't be accessed for evaluation. Even applications developed in-house may use applications from other sources—third-parties, offshore development teams, assets acquired from mergers, etc. —and source code is not always available. That's why SecurityReview performs static application security testing at the binary level, scanning compiled code or "byte" code, which has no proprietary issues. SecurityReview also includes dynamic testing and manual penetration testing, offering complete assessment in a single solution.

Enhance software development and purchase assurance

Veracode provides software assurance benefits for both application development and purchase. For those procuring applications, Veracode provides a quick and simple way to test both commercial off-the-shelf software as well as code bought from third parties. For development teams, Veracode can easily be integrated into the development process, delivering a single point of collaboration for teams that may be widely dispersed. Because Veracode returns results quickly and prioritizes problems based on severity and ease of remediation, development teams can optimize resources and meet deadlines more easily.
