Vendor Security Audits

Ensuring your purchased software is secure

Veracode provides enterprises with an independent security assessment of purchased commercial off-the-shelf software – stopping security risk before it enters the organization.

Veracode SecurityReview for COTS

The burden of minimizing risk and controlling operational cost from insecure third-party software has been placed largely on the enterprises purchasing commercial of-the-shelf (COTS) applications. In most cases corporations do not have any insight into what vulnerabilities exist in these applications, resulting in an unacceptable level of unbounded risk. Veracode’s SecurityReview allows enterprises and government agencies to quantify and manage security risks of commercial off-the-shelf software before it is deployed in-house.

Organizations purchasing software use SecurityReview to:

  • Establish Secure Procurement Initiatives
  • Shift the responsibility and cost of application security back to vendors
  • Evaluate vendors as part of the RFP process
  • Set minimum security thresholds for purchased software
  • Understand risks in mergers & acquisitions

Automate Vendor Security Audits & Acceptance Testing

Veracode enables enterprises to conduct vendor security audits by a trusted entity as part of an organization’s formal software acceptance process, without the need for source code or costly on-site consultants. Because Veracode inspects the application at the same level that it is attacked, the binaries, we ensure that all threats are detected.

Enable Secure Procurement without Requiring Source Code

The primary inhibitor to organizations being able to identify vulnerabilities in COTS and outsourced applications is the availability of application source code. Veracode’s breakthrough patented binary analysis removes this restriction and allows transparency into the security of COTS or outsourced applications without the need for source code or other vendor intellectual property.
