Software Security Assurance

Software security assurance protects the enterprise

Software security assurance is a critical part of enterprise security today. As enterprises have become more successful at protecting their network perimeter, applications have become the preferred target of malicious attacks. Software security assurance is designed to test applications for vulnerabilities before deployment or purchase. While the stakes are large—a software security vulnerability can do great damage to an enterprise's credibility, productivity and bottom line—the task of securing software assurance today is daunting. Many applications are hybrids, combining code from third parties and open-source applications, components, and libraries, as well as commercial off-the-shelf packages. Source code, in these cases, is often not available for review, which makes traditional software security assurance tools almost obsolete. That's why among enterprises throughout the world there is so much interest in and demand for Veracode SecurityReview®, the first automated, on-demand, application security testing solution.

Veracode: On-demand software security assurance

Veracode SecurityReview automates the software security assurance process, delivering on-demand service and the most accurate results in the industry. SecurityReview is a comprehensive solution, combining static analysis, dynamic application security testing and manual penetration testing in a single service. Instead of analyzing source code as other products do, SecurityReview scans binary code (also known as compiled or "byte" code), enabling 100 percent of an application to be reviewed, regardless of where the code originated. Because SecurityReview is offered as an on-demand software-as-a-service, enterprises no longer need to invest in vulnerability assessment software or hardware, which is expensive to purchase, install, learn, and maintain. Code is submitted to Veracode through an online platform and results are returned within 24 to 72 hours. With Veracode, organizations can achieve software security assurance more effectively and more cost-efficiently than ever before.
