Vectra and Veracode help organisations find application risk across first-party code, open-source dependencies, web applications, APIs, containers and infrastructure as code—then prioritise, fix and govern that risk across the software development lifecycle.
AI-assisted development, open-source dependencies, APIs and cloud-native delivery are increasing the volume and speed of software change. Point-in-time testing alone cannot keep pace with a codebase that changes continuously.
Veracode's current strategy is built around continuous Application Risk Management: find risk earlier, prioritise what matters, help developers fix it and keep governance visible across the organisation.
AppSec should be part of the way software is built—not a security gate waiting at the end.

Veracode brings application testing, software supply-chain security, remediation and posture management into one platform so security teams and developers are working from a common view of risk rather than separate tool queues.
Identify vulnerabilities across first-party code, web applications, APIs, open-source dependencies, containers and IaC.
Use business context, ownership, root cause and correlated findings to focus teams on the issues that matter most.
Give developers actionable guidance and AI-powered fix assistance without forcing constant context switching.
Move software supply-chain defence earlier by controlling packages before they are introduced into development pipelines.
No single scanner can answer every application-security question. Veracode combines complementary testing and risk capabilities across the development lifecycle.
SAST
Analyse first-party source, binary or hybrid code without executing the application. Veracode's current SAST supports 100+ languages and frameworks and integrates with IDE, CLI and CI/CD workflows.
DAST
Test running web applications and APIs using production-safe attack simulation to expose exploitable runtime weaknesses and application-perimeter risk.
SCA
Identify vulnerable open-source and third-party components, understand dependency paths, manage licence risk and generate software bills of materials.
Cloud-native delivery
Find vulnerable container components, IaC misconfigurations and exposed secrets before insecure deployment reaches production.
AI-powered remediation
Generate remediation guidance for first-party SAST findings and vulnerable open-source dependencies using Veracode's expert-curated security data.
ASPM
Aggregate, deduplicate and contextualise findings from Veracode and third-party tools, identify root cause and ownership, and surface the next best action.
Software supply-chain prevention
Block packages that violate policy because of malware, vulnerabilities, typosquatting risk, licence issues or other defined controls before they enter the pipeline.
Threat intelligence for dependencies
Use Veracode threat research and proprietary intelligence to understand emerging package and ecosystem risk beyond a static vulnerability list.
AI coding assistants are changing the economics of software delivery, but faster code generation also creates more code to review, more dependencies to assess and more opportunities for security debt to accumulate.
Veracode's approach is to put proven testing and remediation directly into AI-augmented developer workflows—so AI-generated code is held to the same security expectations as human-written code.
Open-source risk is no longer only about known CVEs. Malicious packages, typosquatting, compromised dependencies and policy violations can enter a development environment before a vulnerability database catches up.
Veracode's supply-chain model separates three jobs that are often blurred together: detect what is vulnerable, prevent unsafe packages from entering and keep teams informed about emerging package risk.
Veracode Risk Manager is the platform's Application Security Posture Management capability. It brings Veracode and third-party findings into a consolidated application-risk view, then reduces noise through correlation and context.
The result is a better question than "how many findings do we have?": which underlying issues create the most risk, who owns them and what action removes the most risk next?
Vectra helps customers position Veracode around the development model, risk appetite and assurance requirements they actually have—then connect application-security findings to the broader cyber programme rather than leaving AppSec isolated from the rest of security.
Review application portfolios, development workflows, existing tooling, risk ownership and where testing currently happens.
Align SAST, DAST, SCA, container/IaC, supply-chain controls and ASPM to the applications and teams that need them.
Plan onboarding around IDE, repository, CI/CD, policy and developer workflows so security fits the way software is built.
Use application-risk context, testing results and assurance activities to focus remediation and improve governance.
Bring security feedback closer to the code and provide remediation guidance developers can use inside familiar workflows.
Combine testing methods, correlate findings and govern the application-security programme without treating every vulnerability as equal.
Move reporting away from scanner volume and toward security debt, ownership, risk concentration and remediation progress.
Veracode is an Application Risk Management platform that combines application security testing, remediation, software supply-chain security and application security posture management across the software development lifecycle.
SAST analyses first-party application code for security flaws without running the application. DAST tests a running web application or API from the outside. SCA analyses third-party and open-source dependencies for vulnerabilities and licence risk. Mature AppSec programmes typically use these approaches together because they identify different classes of risk.
Veracode Risk Manager is Veracode's Application Security Posture Management capability. It aggregates and correlates findings, adds context, identifies root cause and ownership, prioritises risk and provides Next Best Action guidance for remediation.
Veracode Fix provides AI-powered remediation for first-party SAST findings and open-source dependency vulnerabilities. It is designed to give developers actionable fix guidance inside development workflows using Veracode's expert-curated security data.
Package Firewall sits in front of supported package sources and applies policy before open-source packages enter development pipelines. It can block packages because of malware, known vulnerabilities, typosquatting risk, licence rules or other defined policy conditions.
Yes. Veracode provides container and IaC security capabilities to identify vulnerable container components, infrastructure misconfigurations and exposed secrets earlier in cloud-native development workflows.
Yes. Veracode positions its current Application Risk Management platform for AI-augmented development by applying SAST, SCA, remediation and governance to code and dependencies regardless of whether they were written by a developer or generated with AI assistance.
Vectra can help organisations align Veracode with their application-security and wider cyber programme, while also providing complementary assurance capabilities such as penetration testing, vulnerability management and broader cyber security assessments.
