Elevate Application Security from the Start with Static Analysis for Effective Risk Management
Securing your applications couldn’t be more important in today’s fast-moving world of software development. Organizations face mounting pressure to deliver innovative software at an accelerated pace, yet this speed must never compromise security. This is where DevSecOps becomes crucial. With threats constantly getting smarter, developers need effective tools to write secure code right from the start. Just ask Alex, a developer who once spent a sleepless night fixing a last-minute security flaw. That’s where Veracode Static Analysis (SAST) comes in as the definitive solution empowering DevSecOps. This powerful tool integrates seamlessly with IDEs, repositories, and CI/CD pipelines to make it easy to scan your code. By catching and fixing vulnerabilities early, Veracode SAST helps you avoid those late-night emergency coding sessions and ensures your applications are secure from the start.
Balancing Speed and Accuracy for DevSecOps Success
When it comes to securing your code, the choice between the available technologies can feel like picking between a detective and a coroner. Source code analysis is like being a detective in the code jungle, hunting down potential issues before they become big problems. But let’s be real, source code analysis isn’t perfect. It can miss vulnerabilities that only appear after the code is compiled.
On the flip side, binary analysis is like a post-mortem, examining executable files to catch those pesky post-compilation vulnerabilities. It excels at identifying those vulnerabilities that slip through the cracks during source code analysis and only become visible after compilation. Is it a classic showdown to pick one over the other? But why pick just one? In the world of DevSecOps, we don’t believe you should choose. Our configurable SAST scanner adapts to developer and security team use cases, seamlessly integrating with your DevSecOps workflows to ensure your tools work the way you need them to, delivering superior results.
By seamlessly combining the proactive diligence of source code analysis with the thoroughness of binary analysis, Veracode SAST goes beyond simply “shifting left.” We empower your DevSecOps pipeline with comprehensive coverage and unmatched accuracy, ensuring that every dependency, data declaration, function, and more, of your application is meticulously scrutinized. This isn’t just about preventing security debt; it’s about embedding security deep into every stage of your development lifecycle, giving you unparalleled visibility and control over your application’s security posture.
And because we understand that development needs to be streamlined and efficient, our static analysis solution integrates seamlessly with your IDEs, repositories, and CI/CD pipelines giving you continuous security without disrupting your workflow.
Precision and Efficiency: Eliminating False Positives in Static Analysis Testing
One of the most significant challenges in application security is the pervasive issue of false positives, which can lead to developer fatigue, erode trust in security tools, and divert valuable resources. False positive rates can be an annoyance and waste time. Veracode directly addresses this industry pain point by offering the lowest false positive rate of less than 1.1% out of the box, without extensive tuning. This precision is a critical enabler of true DevSecOps, fostering developer trust and ensuring that security findings are actionable intelligence rather than mere noise.
Veracode’s exceptional accuracy in eliminating false positive rates is the culmination of almost 20 years of experience with built-in reachability analysis. This includes advanced techniques such as data and control flow modeling, inter-procedural scanning, and full application scanning for context. We perform a complete analysis from source to sink to ensure that any weak points in the code can be reached by an attacker, and our dead code analysis feature ensures that no issues are reported in unreachable code, further reducing false positives.
With support for over 100 languages and frameworks your security stack is covered. This broad coverage ensures that no matter what technology stack you’re using, we’ve got you covered.
Oh, and by the way, it helps that our solution is certified by both FedRAMP and StateRAMP, meeting and complying with stringent regulations.
Taking it One Step Further with AI-Powered Code Remediation
Identifying security weaknesses is only the first step; the subsequent process of fixing them often constitutes a significant bottleneck in the software development lifecycle. So, take Alex, the developer mentioned in the intro. Chances are he would not have had a sleepless night fixing last-minute security flaws if he used Veracode Fix. Instead of pausing to manually research and fix a flaw, Veracode Fix complements Veracode SAST providing a powerful, proprietary AI remediation tool that integrates seamlessly into your SDLC tools (IDEs, Repos, and CI/CI pipelines), automating suggested fixes for identified vulnerabilities one at a time or in batch mode. This means you can keep your focus on building amazing features without getting bogged down in security details.
For example, if a vulnerability is found in a piece of code, Veracode Fix can suggest a fix right in your IDE and even apply it for you, with your approval. This not only saves you time but also ensures fixes are reliable and consistent, thanks to its responsible-by-design architecture. A study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Veracode, found that with Veracode Fix, a customer had a 92% faster meantime to remediate security flaws and a 200% reduction in time detecting flaws compared to manual processes.
Crucially, Veracode Fix is backed by proprietary security research, ensuring “no hallucinations” and differentiating it from solutions that might rely on open-source AI models vulnerable to manipulation or poisoning. This commitment to proprietary, controlled AI development implies a higher level of trust, accuracy, and security in the automated fixes, positioning Veracode as an innovator with robust and reliable AI capabilities that transform application security from a reactive burden into a proactive, automated advantage.
