Burlington Massachusetts-based Veracode, a global provider of application security testing solutions recently announced that it will enhance and improve its continuous software security platform in Europe. This has the potential to allow companies to secure their software throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) along with the additional capabilities of dynamic analysis and API scanning, which will further work in tandem with Veracode’s static analysis, software analysis and various manual penetration testing tools. The Veracode European Union, which is a cloud-based instance allows the customer data to securely remain in the Europen Union to go along with the policy requirements for cloud computing set in place for data privacy and protection by the Europen Union.
Veracode’s EMEA Chief Technology Officer, John Smith, said, “The European market has a growing need to consolidate and automate application security while meeting stringent data residency requirements. The options for achieving this at scale are limited and complex: on-premise solutions require a large, upfront investment and frequent upgrades, while other SaaS platforms are often a pared-down version of existing on-premise products. Veracode’s cloud-native platform helps customers keep costs down and increase efficiencies by integrating multiple software security tools into one easy-to-use solution that also monitors policy compliance.”
One of the customers of Veracode, a European Union commerce body, said, “The privacy and protection of our customers is our highest priority, so we need to be confident in our software security programme. Veracode gives us this assurance with a fully SaaS platform that is resident in the EU. Initially, we needed an automated dynamic analysis product that could crawl our applications at scale but wanted to avoid the pain of amassing several disparate tools over time. With Veracode, we are safe in the knowledge that we can leverage multiple solutions in one place as we continue to shift security further left.”
