Secure Outsourced Applications Veracode Outsourcing SecurityReview delivers a simple, cost-effective, and automated security audit that ensures enterprises receive secure code from offshore development partners. Veracode Outsourcing SecurityReview
With over $50 billion in custom code being developed in locations such as India, China, and Eastern Europe many businesses have rushed to take advantage of cost savings and flexibility to gain a competitive advantage. Unfortunately, due to training and developer turnover, secure coding and application security testing are often overlooked. This pushes both costs and liabilities onto the enterprise resulting in an unacceptable level of unbounded risk. Veracode’s on-demand Outsourcing SecurityReview provides a simple and cost-effective way for enterprises to gain insight into the security and risk found in their outsourced applications. Enterprises use Veracode’s Outsourcing SecurityReview to:

Automate Your Manual Security Testing to Lower Costs
Enterprises concerned about the security of their outsourced applications typically spend over $300K per application for manual penetration testing. This manual effort is costly and can add months to project deliveries. Veracode’s automated, Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) drastically reduces costs and provides results in 24-72 hours enabling organizations to shorten delivery times and test their entire outsourced application portfolio.

Traditional approaches test at the source code level which not only is unpractical as outsourced code often is unavailable but also insufficient. Veracode inspects application code at the same level that it is attacked – the binaries. This approach ensures that all threats, including vulnerabilities and backdoors are detected without requiring source code.
