Veracode is an application security platform providing SAST, DAST, SCA, and developer security training to find and fix vulnerabilities in software.
About
Veracode is a leading application security platform that provides a comprehensive suite of testing services for identifying security vulnerabilities in software throughout the development lifecycle. Combining static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and developer security training, Veracode enables organizations to systematically reduce application security risk at scale.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) in Veracode analyzes source code and compiled binaries for security vulnerabilities without executing the application. The analysis engine supports over 100 programming languages and frameworks and detects a wide range of vulnerability types including injection flaws, authentication issues, cryptographic weaknesses, and insecure configurations. The binary analysis capability is particularly valuable for organizations that cannot share source code with a vendor, including those using commercial or legacy applications.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tests running web applications and APIs by sending specially crafted requests and analyzing the responses for evidence of vulnerabilities. DAST finds issues that are only detectable at runtime, such as server configuration problems, authentication bypass vulnerabilities, and injection flaws that emerge from the interaction between the application and its environment.
Software Composition Analysis (SCA) identifies open source components and their known vulnerabilities within the application's dependency tree. As modern applications incorporate hundreds of third-party libraries, SCA provides visibility into the inherited risk from these dependencies and prioritizes remediation based on exploitability and business impact.
The Veracode Continuous Software Security Platform integrates all testing capabilities into the development workflow through IDE plugins, CI/CD integrations for Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, and others, and a web application console for security team oversight. This integration enables security testing to be performed automatically at every code commit or pull request, catching vulnerabilities early when they are cheapest to fix.
Developer education through Veracode Security Labs provides hands-on coding challenges that teach developers to recognize, exploit, and fix common vulnerability patterns in the languages and frameworks they use daily.
Positioning
Veracode is a comprehensive application security platform that identifies vulnerabilities across the software development lifecycle through static analysis (SAST), dynamic analysis (DAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and container security scanning. The platform integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows, shifting security testing left without slowing delivery velocity.
With nearly two decades of scanning data, Veracode has built one of the largest proprietary vulnerability databases in the industry. This data advantage powers more accurate results with lower false positive rates, while policy-driven enforcement ensures security standards are consistently applied across every application in an organization's portfolio.

Core Areas
Application Security Testing
Comprehensive vulnerability detection through SAST, DAST, SCA, and IAST scanning integrated into development workflows
DevSecOps Integration
IDE plugins, CI/CD pipeline integrations, and API-driven scanning that makes security testing a natural part of development rather than a gate
Compliance Management
Policy-based security governance with automated evidence collection for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and FedRAMP compliance requirements
Remediation Acceleration
Prioritized vulnerability findings with AI-assisted fix guidance and developer training to reduce mean time to remediation
Why It Matters
Application vulnerabilities remain the primary attack surface for data breaches, yet most organizations lack the security expertise to review every line of code and every dependency. Veracode automates this analysis at scale, scanning entire application portfolios continuously so that vulnerabilities are found and fixed before they reach production.
The platform's nearly 20 years of scanning data creates a compounding advantage — each scan benefits from patterns learned across billions of lines of previously analyzed code, resulting in more accurate results than tools that rely solely on rule-based detection without this historical context.
