Web applications are one of the most common vectors for attacks, accounting for over 40% of breaches, according to Verizon's Data Breach Report. Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is a crucial technique used by development teams and security professionals to secure web applications in the software development lifecycle.

Regulatory frameworks play a crucial role in ensuring the resilience and security of organizations. One such regulation that has garnered significant attention is the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). Here are the key aspects of DORA, as well as guidance for how to ensure compliance with it while measurably reducing risk to your business.

Implementation of a DevSecOps approach is the most impactful key factor in the total cost of a data breach. Successful DevSecOps in a cloud-native world is aided by the right tools. Here are a handful of the most essential cloud security tools and what to look for in them to aid DevSecOps.

Veracode is pleased to announce the availability of a new Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Plugin for VS Code. Our new plugin combines both Veracode Static Analysis (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) into a single plugin. This allows developers to quickly scan projects for security weaknesses and risks in both first-party code and third-party libraries.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning have become integral tools for organizations across various industries. However, the successful adoption of these technologies requires a careful balance between business objectives and security requirements.

JavaScript is the most commonly-used programing language, according to the most recent StackOverflow developer survey. While JavaScript offers great flexibility and ease of use, it also introduces security risks that can be exploited by attackers. In this blog, we will explore vulnerabilities in JavaScript, best practices to secure your code, and tools to prevent attacks.

Veracode has recently introduced a new feature called Dynamic Analysis MFA, which provides automated support for multi-factor authentication (MFA) setups during dynamic analysis scans. This eliminates the need for you to disable or manually support your MFA configurations when conducting security testing.

One of the top security concerns we hear from technology leaders is about the security of open source software (OSS) and cloud software development. An open source vulnerability scanner (for scanning OSS) helps you discover risk in the third-party code you use. However, just because a solution scans open source does not mean you are ultimately reducing security risk with it.

In this first in a series of articles looking at how to remediate common flaws using Veracode Fix – Veracode’s AI security remediation assistant, we will look at finding and fixing one of the most common and persistent flaw types – an SQL injection attack. An SQL injection attack is a malicious exploit where an attacker injects unauthorized SQL code into input fields of a web application, aiming to manipulate the application's database.
