Aqua Cloud Native Security Platform vs. Veracode

Excellent tool for identifying Cloud security issues such as vulnerabilities or misconfigurations. The complaince scanning ability is perfect for enterprise organization to maintain complaince based off various complaince programs.

Within our organization it is clear that when a codebase is available, and in a language that Veracode supports, the use of Veracode (with a particular focus to the static scanning platform) is a great suggestion. The depth of information it can provide with respect to security flaws is valuable, with very little setup required from the developers. When a codebase is unavailable, say in the instance of third-party applications for which you are creating extensions or some form of module, then static code scanning is not an option but even then dynamic scanning (DAST) may prove to be helpful, though potentially less so.

• seamless integration with GitHub, Jfrog, etc
• Easy configuration of security policy
• detailed instructions regarding finding of Vulnerabilities

Incentivized

• The pipeline scan is a very fast way to scan code and inform developers if a new flaw is introduced by their pull requests.
• Upload & Scan provides an in-depth analysis of the codebase, which features like reporting being made easy.
• SCA Scans help us not only identify the vulnerabilities but also in helping fix them and in identifying if our application is using that part of the vulnerable library or not.
• Veracode is very easy to integrate into the CI/CD pipelines (especially Jenkins)

Incentivized

• The UI/UX of the Aqua platform has several issues, especially with the sign up/in flow, authentication, alerts and display of results
• Missing a few prominent notification channels for alerts such as Datadog, Webhooks
• Lacks complete granularity in RBAC with the ability to set permissions based on the cloud
• Some parts of the cocumentation for connecting an Oracle Cloud account is not up to update or clear

Incentivized

• MPT Results should be segmented from DAST/SAST results.
• MPT Reports should include more information on scoping and testing dates as generally provided by accounting firms conducting similar tests.
• Vulnerability readouts should not be so hidden in the platform (It shouldn't take as many clicks to get to and view).

At this time, and we just renewed a month ago, I dont see any products out there overall that can offer what Veracode does. Yes, its not cheap by any means, but for the money its the best application security scanning tool out there.

The UI and UX of the platform requires some work since the platform is not for all screen sizes and the experience with certain features such as authentication and creating alerts is not great. The session times out while performing an action and having to repeat the entire action once again, which is not a great experience. Adding notification channels while creating the alerts is not seamless. But the platform has good UX with some great documentation for integrations along with the ability to customise dashboards.

- Almost no setup required and easy to configure - Very easy to use, intuitive UI with integrated analytics and learning portals. - Seamless to review the results, triage them, generate reports. - Security progression of the product/application is tracked via successive scans. - Privileges/Roles nicely fine grained and tightly controlled to let teams "view" only their products.

Veracode has always been up and available to us.

At this point, it runs well and mostly in a timely fashion. Dynamic scans take days but this may be a config issue still to be resolved.

Overall, Veracode support is helpful, community support is great, and documentation is available for self-service. Our Customer Success Manager is very helpful and reaches out regularly to see if we need assistance. We have not utilized many of the other resources offered by Veracode, however, in the future we would like to leverage secure coding training for our Development teams.

We use it as a SAS service, so really just getting our teams to mold the use of Veracode into their SDLC has been a process of years in the making. It comes down to what your teams are ready and willing to accept and change. Management is key in getting their groups on board with using it regularly. If it doesnt have management backing, your security teams have little to no influence in getting this process off the ground fully.

Mend.IO formerly WhiteSource software is a product we used prior to Vericode. It did not have all of the capabilities or depth of Vericode. Additionally, Whitesource did not offer automatic scanning as part of their product and there was no Certification program to speak of.

It meets our needs.

• ROI is high with our Aqua project.

• Developers are now realizing that security is there to help them, not just the people saying NO.
• When setting up Veracode integrations we found that Devs really like their IDEs and Repos. It's like a personal choice. However, as a company, it was unwieldy without devoting people to Veracode integrations to have so many so we had to slime the available IDEs to 3 and Repos to 3, just to be able to set up and maintain the integrations.
• Veracode is paying for itself (though through a different cost category). Our Development costs are going down and releases are getting quicker and more agile.
