Create Users Within Veracode Security Labs or by Using Your Company SSO

In this video, you will learn how to create Security Labs users from within the Security Labs interface. Veracode Security Labs provides interactive training labs that give developers practical security knowledge. Security Labs teaches security and application security (AppSec) skills through hands-on experience. The lab-based approach to developer enablement can improve the time it takes to resolve findings and help developers avoid introducing flaws into the code.

Manufacturing Has the Lowest Percentage of High-Severity Flaws but Needs to Improve Time to Remediation

The past 12 months have been especially challenging for the manufacturing industry. The pandemic affected in-person manufacturing jobs as well as supply and demand, causing many manufacturing companies to shut their doors or lay off valuable employees. Recognizing the vulnerable state of manufacturing companies, cybercriminals saw manufacturing as an easy target. In fact, the manufacturing industry saw an 11 percent increase in cyberattacks in 2020.

Veracode Hacker Games: The Results Are In!

The first ever Veracode Hacker Games competition has come to a close, but were the flaws in favor of our brave competitors? Read on to find out. Over the course of the two-week challenge, students from several universities in the U.S. and the U.K. came together to explore vulnerabilities and threats that they’ll one day face on the job.

Automated Security Testing for Developers

Today, more than ever before, development organizations are focusing their efforts on reducing the amount of time it takes to develop and deliver software applications. While this increase in velocity provides significant benefits for the end users and the business, it does complicate the process for testing and verifying the function and security of a release.

Create and Manage API Service Accounts with the Identity API

In this video you will learn how to use the Identify REST API command to: Veracode REST APIs enable you to access Veracode Platform data and functionality using REST API programming conventions. The API provides endpoints for managing users, teams, and business units, using the create, update, read, and delete actions on their respective objects. It also provides a consistent way of onboarding teams by scripting the process from start to finish.

Putting the Sec in DevSecOps

Whether a seasoned professional or a fresh computer science grad, every developer has his or her stressful moments of trying to dig through scanning results to mitigate or remediate a vulnerability. Since you work at the speed of “I need this yesterday,” it’s a hassle to slow down and fix flaws or even stop to rewrite code entirely. Effective AppSec today is about executing essential application security (AppSec) tests as you’re writing code.

Veracode Wins IT Central Station's 2021 Peer Award for AST

AppSec Bites Part 4: What Do Teams Implementing DevOps Practices Need to Know?

The key to successfully implementing DevOps practices is relationships. It’s about breaking down the existing silos between different functions that deliver software, like development and operations. These functions need to work toward a common goal, efficient software delivery.

Veracode Named a Leader for AST on IT Central Station

To keep up with the pace of the modern world, organizations are constantly looking for ways to release software faster than their competitors. This “need for speed” has led many organizations to adopt DevSecOps. With DevSecOps, security is moved earlier in the software lifecycle, into the realm of developers. As a result of the changing development landscape, application security testing has also been evolving.

Top Security Anti-Patterns in ASP.NET Core Applications

Microsoft's ASP.NET Core enables users to more easily configure and secure their applications, building on the lessons learned from the original ASP.NET. The framework encourages best practices to prevent SQL injection flaws and cross-site scripting (XSS) in Razor views by default, provides a robust authentication and authorization solution, a Data Protection API that offers simplicity of configuration, and sensible defaults for session management.
