Manage 3rd-Party Security Risk
The burden of minimizing risk and controlling operational cost from insecure third-party software has been placed largely on the enterprises purchasing commercial, open source, or outsourced 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 allows enterprises and government agencies to quantify and manage 3rd party security risks before software is deployed.
Organizations purchasing software use Veracode to:
- Establish Secure Procurement Initiatives
- Shift the responsibility for 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
Veracode enables enterprises to conduct independent vendor security audits by a trusted entity as part of an organization’s formal software acceptance process. The primary inhibitor to organizations being able to identify vulnerabilities in commercial, open source, and outsourced applications is the availability of application source code. Veracode’s breakthrough patented binary analysis removes this restriction and allows transparency into application security without the need for source code or other vendor intellectual property.

Veracode also offers a VerAfied mark of security quality assurance that software vendors can choose to earn to demonstrate independent due diligence of the application security quality of their products. Vendor management and procurement professionals can use our VerAfied software directory to learn which software vendor products have earned the mark and therefore demonstrated their commitment and compliance with standards of due care for software security.
