The Data Collection Conundrum
Security teams are drowning in data. From static application security testing (SAST) and software composition analysis (SCA) to cloud security posture management (CSPM) and third-party findings, the sheer volume and variety of vulnerability data can overwhelm even the most sophisticated organizations. The problem isn’t just collecting this data—it’s making sense of it. Most solutions fail to unify these disparate data sources into a single, actionable view, leaving teams grappling with:
- Fragmented Insights: Tools like CSPM, CIEM, and vulnerability scanners often operate in silos, producing overlapping or conflicting findings that obscure the true risk landscape.
- Manual Correlation: Security teams spend countless hours manually mapping vulnerabilities to assets, identifying root causes, and prioritizing remediation, leading to inefficiencies and delays.
- Data Overload: Without intelligent prioritization, teams are buried under a backlog of alerts, unable to focus on the issues that matter most to their business.
These challenges create a fragmented risk posture, where critical vulnerabilities slip through the cracks, and remediation efforts are misdirected. Traditional application security posture management (ASPM) solutions often exacerbate the problem by offering rigid integrations or requiring extensive configuration, which can take weeks to implement and maintain.
Veracode Risk Manager: A Better Way to Unify and Act
Veracode Risk Manager (VRM) is an application security posture management solution (ASPM) purpose-built to address these pains by unifying risk from code to cloud and automating prioritization and remediation to resolve critical issues faster. This is achieved through VRM Connectors, read-only data collectors that unify vulnerability data from Veracode’s SAST, SCA, DAST, and third-party tools (e.g., GitLab, Tenable, Qualys) into a single dashboard. These connectors then prioritize risks, trace root causes, and provide remediation guidance, enhancing security across the SDLC
Introducing Our Latest VRM Integration: Wiz Connector
Veracode is pleased to introduce our newly certified Wiz Connector, making it easier than ever to manage cloud security risks with precision and speed.
The Wiz Connector easily integrates Wiz’s cloud security findings into VRM’s unified dashboard, transforming your security workflow with:
- Data Ingestion: Collects daily incremental updates of vulnerability findings and assets from Wiz, reducing data drift and ensuring accuracy.
- Issue Creation: Automatically generates issues and recommends solutions, streamlining remediation efforts.
- Risk Prioritization: Uses VRM’s analytics to score and prioritize risks based on asset context and business impact.
- Custom Dashboards: Offers customizable views for better visibility, from high-level risk trends to detailed code-level findings.
To get started, Wiz customers can navigate to Wiz’s settings, create a client ID and secret, and add them to VRM’s connector settings.
Why Veracode Succeeds Where Others Fail
Let’s use the Wiz Connector as an example:
- Seamless Data Integration
Unlike traditional ASPM solutions that require complex API configurations or custom scripts, VRM’s Connectors are designed for simplicity. Certified under Wiz’s WIN program, the Wiz Connector offers a dedicated UI card in the Wiz interface for quick credential setup. Users can configure the connector in minutes by generating a client ID and secret in Wiz and adding them to VRM’s settings. This streamlined process eliminates the need for extensive technical expertise, making it accessible to security teams of all sizes.
- Intelligent Data Unification
The Wiz Connector leverages VRM’s Detection & Ingestion Engine to pull incremental data daily, ingesting vulnerability findings, assets, and issues from Wiz. Unlike other solutions that overwhelm users with raw data, VRM’s Analytics Engine contextualizes this information through asset origin analysis, root cause analysis, and risk scoring. This ensures that security teams see a unified inventory of issues, prioritized by urgency and business impact.
- Actionable Remediation Guidance
Where most tools stop at identifying vulnerabilities, VRM goes further by recommending “Best Next Actions” (BNA). The Wiz Connector automatically creates issues and suggests solutions for Wiz vulnerabilities, reducing the need for manual developer tickets. Veracode’s Solution Engine translates complex findings into actionable root solutions, enabling teams to fix multiple issues with minimal effort.
- Enhanced Visibility and Collaboration
VRM’s custom dashboards provide a clear, drill-down view from executive summaries to source findings, empowering both technical and non-technical stakeholders. By integrating with ticketing systems like Jira and XDR/SIEM platforms like Splunk, VRM ensures seamless collaboration across security and development teams.
- Scalable and Future-Proof
The Wiz Connector’s incremental updates minimize data load and improve performance, ensuring scalability as your cloud environment grows. With no additional cost to VRM users, this feature delivers immediate value without breaking the budget.
The Veracode Advantage: Security for Real Humans
At Veracode, we believe security should be intuitive, not intimidating. The Wiz Connector, combined with VRM’s robust ASPM capabilities, embodies this philosophy by simplifying complex security data into actionable insights. Unlike other solutions that burden teams with fragmented tools and manual processes, Veracode empowers organizations to focus on what matters most: reducing risk efficiently.
As cloud environments continue to dominate, the ability to unify and prioritize security data will define the success of modern security programs. With the Wiz Connector, Veracode Risk Manager sets a new standard for ASPM, delivering a solution that is easy to deploy, intelligent in its approach, and impactful in its outcomes.
