Engineers Speak: Veracode Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) Recognized as a Platinum Vendor

By Donna Namorato

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news that truly validates our mission to secure the world’s software: Veracode has been recognized as a leading vendor in both Static Analysis (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) in the June 2025 VDC Research Vendor Impact Awards! What makes this recognition even more significant is that these awards are based on aggregated ratings from VDC Research’s global “Voice of the Engineer” survey. That’s right – it’s the engineers, the folks in the trenches building and securing software every day, who’ve spoken, and they’ve chosen Veracode as a top performer.

With threats leveling up and the average cost of a data breach reaching an alarming $4.88 million in 2024, partnering with a vendor that brings nearly two decades of industry leadership and AI-assisted innovation, like Veracode, isn’t just smart, it’s how you ensure your software is compliant, secure, and accelerates your development. This is where Veracode Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) come in, giving you the clarity and control you need.

Veracode SAST: Catch Flaws Early, Without Compromise

Veracode SAST is a powerful tool designed to fit right into your existing workflow. It integrates seamlessly with your IDEs, repositories, and CI/CD pipelines, making it incredibly easy to scan your code. This means we’re meticulously examining your code for security flaws before they ever make it into production, helping you secure code earlier in the development process. But Veracode SAST goes beyond simply catching issues early; it stands apart by offering a balanced solution that meets the needs of both development and security teams. It delivers comprehensive coverage and accuracy to foster collaboration rather than conflict, right from the earliest stages of your Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
