They are very likely the number one enablers of an organization like your digital ambitions.<\/p>\n

Business needs are always changing. Organizations still need to focus on agile delivery methods, continuous quality, security, risk and compliance, reliability and resilience, and platform engineering to drive digital transformation. With 2020 and the global COVID-19 pandemic, other conversations about stability, scalability, and security came to the front of many discussions to meet businesses’ needs everywhere. As your business needs change, whether that be remote work, improving customer journeys, or frictionless and contactless experiences, so does the growing need to understand the way your business works. The performance of regular vulnerability assessments is an integral part of maintaining your technology’s overall security and ensuring it is ready for whatever challenges your organization might face.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\n

Prevent and Detect Security Flaws in your Code.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\"\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Automated application security and code testing help developers and AppSec pros eliminate vulnerabilities and build better, more secure software. It is no secret that large enterprises and their technology applications are under attack from a variety of threats frequently. To protect your company’s security, you must be sure that your applications are free of flaws that hackers could exploit to your organization’s detriment. While some tools require advanced integrations, simplicity is key to bringing code vulnerability testing to everyone on your development team.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]At this point, if you don\u2019t have the ability in your DevOps team to easily and quickly identify vulnerabilities in a consumable dashboard, you\u2019re falling behind<\/strong>. More importantly, having the ability to identify security vulnerabilities during the early stages of development when they are least expensive to fix is critical to the success of your development team. It reduces security risks in applications by providing immediate real-time feedback to developers on issues introduced into code during early development.<\/p>\n

In its 2020 State of Software Security report, Veracode found that increasing the number of vulnerability scans led to flaws being closed much more quickly. They found that the vast majority of applications (76 percent) have some security flaw, that half of the security findings are still open six months after discovery, and almost one-third of applications have more security findings in third-party libraries than in the native codebase.<\/p>\n

Their take away?<\/p>\n

\u201cEven when faced with the most challenging environments, developers can take specific actions to improve the overall security of the application.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\n

Is vulnerability assessment critical in development?<\/h3>\n

Vulnerability assessments are a critical part of IT and development risk management lifecycles. It helps in protecting systems and data from unauthorized access and breaches.<\/p>\n

Your technology, hardware, and software are the building blocks of everything your business does. Frequently, however, security is an afterthought. Now maybe you have \u201csecurity built-in,\u201d how do you go about testing it?<\/p>\n

In ServiceNow, application scanners like SonarQube or Veracode generate PDF reports. Project Managers will have to look into issues in the PDF file and then create work Items.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\n
