Software Security Testing

Software security testing identifies vulnerabilities

As enterprises seek ways to improve software security, testing has become a standard method for identifying software vulnerability issues. Software security testing reviews applications and finds flaws that could be exploited for malicious attack. But enterprise software today is often built using code from a combination of sources—off-the-shelf commercial packages may be combined with third-party code, open-source software, and internally developed applications. Testing such applications can take a great deal of time and quickly become prohibitively costly. To satisfy application security concerns without hurting productivity or profitability, enterprises can turn to Veracode for an innovative software security testing on-demand service that is extremely cost-effective.

Veracode provides the industry's first on-demand, software security testing solution

Veracode has developed a first in the software security testing industry—an automated, on-demand, application security testing solution that offers comprehensive testing with higher accuracy, lower cost, and faster results. The Veracode SecurityReview® solution is offered through a Software-as-a-Service model and tests applications for flaws through patented binary analysis (also called "byte" or "compiled" code) rather than on the source code level. This is significant for several reasons. By reviewing binary, or byte code, SecurityReview delivers a more accurate assessment of vulnerabilities. It also makes it possible to review vendor applications without needing to see proprietary source code—which delivers a more complete assessment of all the applications within the enterprise IT network. As a subscription service, SecurityReview relieves the enterprise of the need to buy and install testing software and hire IT security experts to operate and update it. With SecurityReview, enterprises can submit binary code for testing, pay only for the amount of code tested, and get results within 24 to 72 hours—the industry's fastest time to benefit.
