Detailed Analysis: Impact and Efficiency of Veracode on Cybersecurity Posture of an Organization

We use Veracode for performing Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) scans for all of our products. These scans help us find and address security vulnerabilities early in the Secure Development Life Cycle (SDLC) of every product. We have also automated the SAST, DAST and SCA scans by adding the Veracode scan step in our CI/CD pipelines.

We prefer using solutions from a single vendor if all the solutions provided are above average than all its competitors in the market. By using all the solutions from a single vendor, we can consolidate all the different findings onto a single glass of pane, which provides better visibility into the overall security posture of the organization as a whole.

Reporting and analytic features are crucial components of any security tool as these provide visibility into the security posture of an organization's environment. Analytics like compliance, Trend Analysis, Risk Management, Performance Metrics, Scan Activity and Peer benchmarking highlight how well organization's AppSec and Dev team are performing.

We use all the Analytics and Reporting features of Veracode as it provides all the details that we need to work to secure our applications and to provide necessary data to the upper management.

We use Veracode Greenlight IDE from the very early stages when the dev starts to write the code. Once the code is written and ready to be built, we have added Veracode scanning as a post-build step of the CICD pipeline. And even after the application is built and deployed, we use Veracode to scan it frequently in order to find any deployment related security findings using the DAST scanner.
