Web Services Security

Web services security requires superior testing solutions

Web services security is critical part of enterprise security strategy. Because web applications, by definition, provide access to data about and to customers, employees, suppliers, and others, they are frequently the target of malicious attack. A superior web services security solution must include software testing technology that can scan applications for vulnerabilities that may leave the organization open to attack. But these products require a significant investment, tying up business resources and requiring the services of consultants or new hires to install, use, and update the software and hardware. For companies seeking a better web services security solution, consider Veracode.

Veracode: On-demand application testing for better web services security

Veracode SecurityReview® is an automated, on-demand, application security testing solution that offers more effective and cost-efficient way to achieve web services security. Built on the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, SecurityReview provides dynamic analysis for web security as a service. Businesses need no longer purchase hardware or software or hire people to administer and update it. Software development and procurement teams can more easily meet deadlines, as businesses can scale security testing services quickly and cost-efficiently as-needed. SecurityReview is easy to use—code is submitted through an online analysis platform and results are returned within 24 to 72 hours. Results are prioritized so developers can address the most serious needs first. And the online platform serves as a single point of collaboration on vulnerability remediation, so globally dispersed teams of developers can work together quickly to solve issues and increase speed-to-market results.

Get innovative application testing for web services security and more

Veracode employs dynamic analysis or "black box" testing to scan Web applications for flaws. But SecurityReview also provides static analysis and manual penetration testing to deliver the most comprehensive solution available today. To get coverage this broad in the past would have meant purchasing multiple on-premises products. Veracode's approach to static analysis is revolutionary. Using binary code analysis instead of source code analysis, Veracode can scan 100 percent of applications no matter where the code originated. Many applications today include components such as third-party libraries and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software in which source code is not available. While other testing products that scan source code provide only partial scanning, Veracode's solution delivers complete and comprehensive protection.
