Fastly has been the ideal CDN (Content Distribution Network) to solve and optimise the management of our content in our applications and portals; we have easily integrated its use, which has meant an increase in performance, a time savings in terms of management, and a saving of resources that we can use to make further improvements to improve our customers' web experience.

Veracode
It is a strong and reliable application security platform that helps to cover all aspects throughout the software development lifecycle of an application, making it a good fit for use in enterprise-scale applications. Its integration with CI/CD tools, multiple options for security scanning, and compliance reporting make it quite valuable in keeping a safe codebase. However, the learning curve is steep, and at times, false positives can prove to be very time-consuming and more effortful.

Pros
Fastly
No answers on this topic
Veracode
  • It is good at recommending fixing issues with third-party dependencies used in application code with detailed version information and knowing which version fixes what.
  • It has a very nice interface for triaging flaws. One can sort the vulnerabilities found in code from Very Likely to be exploited to least likely to be exploited.
  • There is a collections feature that allows us to group together groups of application profiles belonging to the same suite of applications.

Cons

Veracode
  • Scan results stability: from one scan to another, additional flaws appear whereas code did not change.
  • Entry points selection: hard to be sure selection is optimal, should be automatized or hidden.
  • Branches management: we currently use sandboxes to scan different branches of our software. Would be good to have real branches management.

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.

- 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.

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.

Veracode is slower with scan results however the flaws discovered and sites crawled are almost the same. Rapid7 InsightAppSec only does dynamic scans. Veracode did find more links on a site crawl. Rapid7 InsightAppSec has more out of the box reports than Veracode. Both integration to DevOps tools were striaghtforward.

  • Positive: Scanning all our applications on Veracode provides us an overview of our cyber security posture for the organization as a whole.
  • Positive: Performing the SAST, SCA and DAST scanning for all the applications at the early stages of the SDLC helps us identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities early, reducing the risk of data breaches and cyber-attacks.
  • Negative: Sometimes Veracode SAST scanner closed and reopens some findings, leading to reliability issues on the scanner itself.
