Veracode provides advanced application security solutions, trusted by enterprises to develop and maintain secure software. Its platform identifies exploitable risks, speeds up vulnerability remediation, and reduces security debt at scale using a proprietary AI-assisted remediation engine.
During the course of our using Veracode, we still do evaluate other platforms to see what they offer, and how they compare to Veracode. I do most of the evaluations myself, and I still come back to Veracode as being the overall best platform. Most every platform, for better …
It has been a brilliant tool and we have harnessed it for so many applications - Threat intelligence, Risk Analysis, Automation, Endpoint protection, Vulnerability Management, Application Security, Protecting all our Cloud Applications. We love the fact that we only have to see those threats that are meaningful to us. We don't need clutter and endless dashboards with information that just gets in the way and makes things complicated. By having this full, crisp, easily discernible visibility, our decision-making is enhanced and we can see clearly what's happening in real time. We also love the fact that if a dashboard isn't proving to be productive, then we can go ahead and scrap it, and create another one. The tailor made/bespoke aspect of the Application is the thing that really sets it apart. By having all our dashboards aligned, our teams are all working from the same page and it means we are safe in the knowledge that our systems and applications are being monitored in the most effective and efficient ways. There haven't been any real scenarios where it has been ineffective. - perhaps just In-depth Risk Vulnerability Analytics are a bit lacking. However, I'm probably just picking hairs there.
Veracode is well suited for development applications that can be made more secure right from the beginning. There is an excellent extension in Visual Studio that scans code from the IDE. However, it is less appropriate or incompatible with scanning SOAP or WSDL APIs. It supports only REST APIs.
Veracode performs Static Application Security Testing (SAST) very well by finding flaws in the code using entry points so that it tests for everything a user can interact with in the application. This approach is very helpful for avoiding a lot of false positives early on.
Veracode performs SCA automatically on every SAST scan, so that we don't have to manually scan the application again for SCA scans.
Veracode integrates very well with the ticketing tools, so that it becomes very easy to track every finding and its status within our ticketing tool.
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.
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.
IntSights Cyber Intelligence, from Rapid7 was by far the clear winner, in terms of seamless integration with our exisitng systems, deployment, cleaner User Interface, ease of operation, better for monitoring Indicators of compromise and dark web information, having more features etc.
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.
Veracode's platform has had a very positive impact on our security posture, paving the path towards having coverage monitored automatically on hundreds of internal applications throughout the development lifecycle.
Veracode's platform has also had a very positive impact on improving the security knowledge of our development team, providing meaningful feedback as well as training options to reduce mitigation time and help to prevent flaws before they are created.
