Veracode

Veracode is an application security platform provider that delivers cloud-based software testing and security governance capabilities for enterprises building and operating software at scale.

• Cloud-based Application Security Testing (AST) platform (application security)
• Static, dynamic, and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) of first-party and third-party code (application security testing)
• Security policy management, governance, and reporting for development and security teams (security governance)
• Developer enablement through security training, remediation guidance, and Immutable Deployment Environment (IDE) integrations (developer security tooling)
• Integration with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines and ticketing systems for automated security workflows (DevSecOps)

More About Veracode

Veracode provides a cloud-delivered application security platform used by enterprises, software vendors, and public sector organizations to assess and manage security risks in their software portfolios. The platform is designed to fit into modern software delivery practices, including agile development and DevSecOps, so that security checks occur throughout the software development lifecycle rather than only during pre-release audits.

The company’s core offering is a suite of AST capabilities (application security) that typically includes static analysis of source or binary code, dynamic analysis of running applications, and SCA of open-source and third-party components. These capabilities are used to detect vulnerabilities such as insecure coding patterns, misconfigurations, and known issues in open-source libraries, and to provide remediation guidance to development teams.

Veracode’s platform (application security) is built as a multi-tenant cloud service, which allows organizations to centralize scanning activities, policy management, and reporting across many applications, teams, and business units. Security leaders and governance teams can define security policies, thresholds, and compliance requirements, then apply those policies to applications and pipelines. The platform provides dashboards and analytics that help track vulnerability trends, policy compliance, and remediation progress over time, supporting audit and regulatory reporting requirements.

For software engineering organizations, Veracode integrates with developer tools and workflows (DevSecOps), including Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), build servers, CI/CD platforms, and issue-tracking or ticketing systems. This allows security scans to be triggered automatically as part of build and deployment pipelines and surfaces findings directly to developers within the tools they already use. The platform typically supports automation via APIs and plug-ins, enabling enterprises to incorporate application security controls into standardized engineering toolchains.

Veracode also offers training and enablement content (security training) aimed at developers and security practitioners, including secure coding education, remediation examples, and in-context guidance tied to identified vulnerabilities. This is intended to help organizations address both technical and human factors in software security programs.

Within an enterprise IT marketplace taxonomy, Veracode fits into categories such as AST, SCA, secure DevOps tooling, and security policy and compliance management. Its offerings are used by CISOs, application security teams, development leaders, and risk and compliance stakeholders who need a consolidated approach to measuring and reducing software risk across on-premises (on-prem), cloud-native, and third-party applications.
