Vulnerability Scanning Enhances Enterprise Security
Enterprise applications are under attack from a variety of threats. To protect the security of your enterprise, you must be sure that your applications are free of flaws that could be exploited by hackers and malicious individuals, to the detriment of your organization.
Vulnerability scanning offers a way for you to find application backdoors, malicious code and other threats that may exist in acquired software or internally developed applications. Most traditional web vulnerability scanning tools require a significant investment in software and hardware and require dedicated resources for training and ongoing maintenance and upgrades.
Vulnerability scanners mainly scan source code, and do not offer a comprehensive assessment since source code is rarely available for acquired applications.
Veracode: The On-Demand Vulnerability Scanner
Veracode delivers an automated, on-demand, application security testing solution offering a highly accurate and cost-effective approach to vulnerability scanning. Setting itself apart as a cost-effective on-demand solution, Veracode eliminates the need for expensive on-premises software solutions.
Whether assessing vulnerabilities during a software acquisition or internal application development project, you can effortlessly test applications with Veracode’s advanced scanning technology through an online platform and get results within a matter of hours.
Results are prioritized in a Fix-First Analyzer, which considers your business objectives, levels of risk tolerance, level of threat each vulnerability represents, and those flaws that can be fixed fastest. The Fix-First Analyzer enables you to optimize your time, improving productivity and making web vulnerability scanning more efficient.
Veracode Delivers Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanning
Veracode's cloud-based service and systematic approach delivers a simpler and more scalable solution for reducing global application-layer risk across web, mobile and third-party applications. Recognized as a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader since 2010, we combine multiple assessment technologies and web scanning techniques, including static analysis, dynamic analysis, and manual penetration testing, for comprehensive vulnerability scanning.
Veracode's static analysis provides an innovative and highly accurate testing technique called binary analysis. Where most vulnerability scan tools look at application source code, Veracode scans binary code (also known as “compiled” or “byte” code). Unlike scanning source code (which is often ineffective, since source code may be unavailable for practical or proprietary reasons), scanning binary code allows you to review an entire application - 100 percent of code is scanned, delivering a far more accurate and comprehensive analysis.
