Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

In our hyper-connected reality, software applications are the unsung heroes of business operations. But, let's face it, with great tech comes great vulnerability to cyber shakedowns and data leaks. This begs the question: “Is scanning enough to manage risk?” Organizations are playing a high-stakes game of keeping their apps secure to safeguard their secrets.

Organizations face an increasing number of software security threats that can compromise their sensitive data and disrupt business operations. To effectively manage these risks and enhance their security posture, it’s crucial for organizations to adopt modern application risk reduction strategies that not only mitigate potential vulnerabilities but also provide clear, actionable next steps and insights for reporting purposes.

If you’re an avid reader of Application Security surveys, analyst papers, or incident reports, you may have concluded that the biggest issue most organizations have with application security is NOT finding the flaws in their codebase, but is, in fact, finding ways to remediate them while also creating new applications and updates, oh and keeping the lights on. Many organizations are drowning in security debt.

We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to your support and trust, Veracode has been recognized as a Customers' Choice in the 2024 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for Application Security Testing for the fifth consecutive year! We believe this distinction is not just a testament to our solutions and services but, more importantly, a reflection of the strong partnerships we have formed with each of you.

The OWASP Top Ten lists have been the cornerstone for application security best practices for over two decades. The 2019 list was the first edition of the OWASP API Security Top 10. The latest, OWASP API Security Top 10 2023, gives our security and engineering teams a glimpse of attack vectors that are becoming more common. With that in mind, it also helps our security teams to ensure that they have adequate coverage for security testing.

For assessing and reporting on the risks associated with your applications, you know you need Application Security Posture Management (ASPM). However, this quickly evolving space has many variables that security leaders may not realize. Here’s how you can elevate your security strategy by optimizing ASPM tools in a way that minimizes risks, enhances operational efficiency, and builds a robust security-aware culture in your organization.

We're happy to announce two new Veracode Scan products: Veracode Scan for Eclipse and Veracode Scan for Visual Studio. Building on the success and adoption of Veracode Scan in Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, PyCharm, and Rider, we're releasing versions for Eclipse and Visual Studio. Now the power of Veracode’s outstandingly accurate Static Application Scanning is avaialble two of the most widely used and customer-requested IDE’s.

In today's digital landscape, developers face mounting pressure to deliver secure applications within tight deadlines. But with faster release cycles, it becomes challenging to prioritize security. Security testing needs to work and scale within your DevOps speed and release frequency. Web applications are highly targeted assets, accounting for 40% of breaches within organizations, according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report.

If you're a security professional like me, you're not used to your function being seen as a revenue driver for your business; you’re used to being seen as a cost center. But what if you could demonstrate that security acts as a catalyst for innovation, even leading to 20% revenue increase? Here's how a strategic security investment was not only able to help protect a business from potential threats, but also create a foundation for sustainable growth.

Are you getting the results you want from your application security (AppSec) program? Discovering the return on investment (ROI) is a great start, but how should you go about calculating that? That’s where our recently commissioned Total Economic Impact (TEI) study conducted by Forrester Consulting comes in. We’re thrilled and deeply grateful to share these customer stories with you.
