Enhancements to CA Veracode Verified Program Validates Secure Coding for DevOps and Agile Processes
March 19 2018 - 9:00AM
Veracode, Inc., a leader in securing the world’s software, acquired
by CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA), announced the evolution
of CA Veracode Verified, a program that provides third-party
validation of a company’s secure software developing processes.
With approximately 30 percent of all breaches occurring as a
result of a vulnerability at the application layer, software
purchasers are demanding more insight into the security of the
software they are buying. CA Veracode Verified empowers software
vendors to demonstrate their commitment to creating secure
software.
New research conducted with International Data Group (IDG) found
that 84 percent of software buyers include security requirements in
new vendor contracts. Prospects and existing customers are more
discerning than ever before when it comes to the security of the
software being purchased, and without a means of demonstrating
proof of security, organizations risk experiencing delayed or lost
revenue. The CA Veracode Verified program provides several benefits
to companies participating in the program, including:
- A roadmap for adopting and maturing an application security
program tied to practical outcomes and business value for the
Modern Software Factory.
- Third-party attestation from an industry leader that an
application has undergone security testing as part of the
development process. This can help streamline the sales process to
proactively address security concerns.
- A focus on the secure coding process, not just a point-in-time
release, to embrace DevSecOps and the rapid delivery pace of DevOps
and Agile development methods.
- A means of ensuring that third party software purchased or used
meets a high standard of application security, to reduce enterprise
risk.
“As software becomes a bigger component of value in all
industries, every company is driven to become a modern software
factory. Security becomes a competitive advantage as companies
learn to create and buy high-quality, secure software. Too often
we’re seeing security sacrificed to accommodate the speed of
business,” said Chris Wysopal, chief technology officer, CA
Veracode. “The result is insecure software that causes
extraordinarily damaging breaches. The CA Veracode Verified program
provides both a roadmap towards secure software development and a
quick means of determining the commitment to security made by
potential software vendor. The program seal highlights
organizations that make secure software development a competitive
advantage by showing that they adopted a mature application
security program that covers the entire SDLC.”
Successful application security is more than just scanning and
fixing security flaws, it’s about a change in processes and
procedures to embed security into the entire development process.
CA Veracode Verified focuses on implementation of secure coding
practices, not just recording point-in-time scans, which makes it
ideal for today’s DevOps and Agile methods, where releases happen
at very high frequency and security must be fully integrated
throughout the lifecycle.
The CA Veracode Verified program recognizes three levels of
maturity to help organizations and consumers understand the
security posture of the software they purchase and use. The
maturity levels are based on more than 12 years of software
security trend data pulled from the CA Veracode Platform. This data
provides best practices to help create a secure development process
that minimizes vulnerabilities and reduces the risk of a
breach.
