In today's fast-paced digital landscape, developers face increasing pressure to deliver secure applications within tight deadlines. With the emphasis on faster releases, it becomes challenging to prioritize security and prevent vulnerabilities from being introduced into production environments. Integrating dynamic application security testing (DAST) into your CI/CD pipeline helps you detect and remediate vulnerabilities earlier, when they are easier to fix.

Insecure software is significantly impacting our world. In a recent statement, CISA Director Jen Easterly declared: “Features and speed to market have been prioritized against security, leaving our nation vulnerable to cyber invasion. That has to stop... We are at a critical juncture for our national security.”

Veracode is pleased to announce the availability of Veracode Fix capability in Veracode Scan for VS Code. Now developers can discover and remediate security flaws using Veracode’s Generative AI-powered tools directly from their Integrated Development Environment (IDE). According to the Veracode State of Software Security, 45.9% of organizations have critical security debt.

In today's digital landscape, web applications and APIs are constantly under threat from malicious actors looking to exploit vulnerabilities. A common and dangerous attack is a SQL injection. In this blog, we will explore SQL injection vulnerabilities and attacks, understand their severity levels, and provide practical steps to prevent them. By implementing these best practices, you can enhance the security of your web applications and APIs.

Today, I’m proud to share our 14th annual State of Software Security report. Our 2024 report shines a spotlight on the pressing issue of security debt in applications, and it provides a wake-up call to organizations worldwide. The demand for speed and innovation has resulted in the accumulation of risk known as security debt. As Chief Research Officer at Veracode, I’m deeply committed to empowering businesses to confront the challenges posed by security debt. Let’s dive in.

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.
