JFrog vs Veracode

About Veracode

Veracode sells an Application Risk Management Platform that identifies risks across the software development lifecycle, automates flaw fixes, and simplifies governance and compliance. Veracode says it identifies and resolves application risks with decades of expertise and AI-driven insights. Veracode combines decades of security research, proprietary data, and AI-driven analysis to give enterprises a clearer view of application risk from code to runtime. Veracode describes the platform as a suite of application risk management tools purposely built to reduce risk, catch vulnerabilities early, and empower developers to deliver secure code across the SDLC.^[3]

Veracode Application Risk Management (ASPM) centralizes risk data across code, containers, and cloud. Application Security Posture Management prioritizes vulnerabilities and pinpoints the owner and root cause of each security issue. Veracode's Application Risk Management platform is described as helping quantify technical risks in business terms. Veracode consolidates scanning data (SAST, DAST, SCA) into a single source of truth. Over 100 languages and frameworks are supported to secure the SDLC.^{[3][5][11][12]}

Veracode's Static Application Security Testing (SAST) scans over 100 languages and frameworks in real time within IDEs and CI/CD pipelines. Static analysis can scan first-party source code alongside third-party or proprietary code when source is not available. Static analysis supports full program analysis for applications up to 5GB of code. The static analysis engine aligns its findings with the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) standard. Dynamic application security testing identifies and addresses runtime vulnerabilities in web apps and APIs through simulated attacks. Dynamic scans can be automated or scheduled to match release frequency, compliance, and policy needs. Dynamic scans can cover hundreds of assets across environments, including those behind a firewall. Resola used Veracode Dynamic Analysis for faster scans, improved security, and boosted customer trust. The platform automates open-source security scans, identifies new vulnerabilities, and manages license risks. SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC, and container scans are integrated into IDEs.^{[1][3][5][11][13][15]}

Veracode Container is included with the Veracode CLI, which is available on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Container scanning inspects and corrects container images and Infrastructure as Code files. Tools for scanning containers and Infrastructure as Code cover vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and embedded secrets. The platform is described as proactively stopping vulnerabilities, malware, and policy violations before they reach development pipelines. Insights for security teams are curated by the Veracode Threat Research team and delivered via a proprietary threat feed. SBOMs can be created and managed, alongside third-party reviews and detailed reporting for compliance and stakeholder satisfaction. Veracode acquired Phylum, Inc technology for enhanced software composition analysis.^{[1][3][6][7][8][11]}

Veracode Fix brings AI-powered remediation to the code written in-house and the open-source libraries it depends on. Veracode Fix integrates into the IDE, CLI, or CI/CD tool, with interactive and batch modes. Developers get fix guidance directly in the IDE, CLI, and CI/CD, with quality gates. Fix suggestions are described as covering, on average, over 70% of detected flaws across 10 supported languages. Pull requests for open-source dependency fixes include version rationale, impacted components, and supporting references. Veracode Fix includes a configurable GitHub Action that scans and suggests on Pull and Merge in GitHub.^[15]

Security teams get unified visibility across code, dependencies, containers, and runtime signals. Developers get remediation guidance and AI-driven fixes inside the tools they already use. The platform gives governance, reporting, and policy control to support compliance and prove progress. eLearning and Security Labs provide hands-on training to build secure coding skills.^[11]

Veracode says its compliance and reporting capabilities help meet healthcare regulations like HIPAA and GDPR. Veracode says its AppSec solutions safeguard energy systems and smart grids. Veracode says its on-demand application security testing solution allows financial institutions to meet GLBA compliance as part of their overall security program. Manhattan Associates is described as automating appsec across its development environment. HDI Global SE is described as making its security innovation initiative a measurable reality. Cox Automotive is described as boosting time to market.^{[1][3][8][12][16][17]}
