Application Risk Management for Modern Development
In the age of AI, development moves faster than ever. Veracode redefines application risk management, enabling secure innovation at speed.
Navigating the Rising Tide of Software Risk
Software development is experiencing one of the most profound transformations in its history. Artificial intelligence (AI) and open-source technologies are accelerating the pace at which enterprises can build, deploy and scale applications. Today’s enterprises deploy an average of 164 applications compared to 120 in 2020, creating unprecedented security complexities that traditional approaches cannot address.
This acceleration introduces a critical new risk vector: AI-generated code. Veracode’s 2025 GenAI Code Security Report, analyzing code from over 100 large language models, reveals AI-generated code often isn’t secure, and the risk is likely already embedded in enterprise stacks. As developers increasingly rely on AI coding assistants, they’re unknowingly introducing vulnerabilities at unprecedented scale.
This expansion comes at a cost. 75% of organizations experienced cyberattacks within the past twelve months, with average recovery times extending to 252 days. High-profile incidents including Salesloft Drift, SolarWinds, and the NPM Supply Chain Attack, demonstrate that even the most established organizations remain vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated threats.
As companies race to harness rapid development cycles, seamless cloud integration, and extensive open-source dependencies, they simultaneously face expanding attack surfaces demanding revolutionary security approaches.
Veracode’s Continuous Approach to Application Security
Founded in 2006 as a pioneer of comprehensive application security, Veracode addresses these challenges through holistic risk management across application lifecycles. Industry research reveals that approximately 80% of scanned applications contain at least one vulnerability. Veracode’s State of Software Security (SoSS) Report shows that 70% of applications have flaws in third-party code, with most vulnerabilities introduced post-deployment through feature releases, dependency updates, and configuration changes.
Veracode delivers the core capabilities that addresses these challenges. Continuous vulnerability detection provides real-time scanning throughout development cycles, with prioritized remediation guidance that enables developers to address critical risks without disrupting delivery velocity. Centralized risk visibility offers unified dashboards that give security teams comprehensive insight into application portfolio security postures, enabling proactive risk management. Supply chain security monitoring automatically assesses third-party components, open-source libraries, and AI-generated code for known vulnerabilities, and compliance violations.
Client testimonials highlight tangible operational benefits: streamlined development cycles, early flaw detection, enhanced developer productivity, and measurable return on security investment. These advantages transform security from a development bottleneck into a competitive differentiator.
The Future of Application Risk Management
The global AI market’s projected 37% year-over-year growth will only intensify reliance on open-source code and automated development tools. As software evolution becomes constant rather than episodic, security approaches must evolve accordingly. Veracode’s platform leverages AI for intelligent remediation guidance, system fix prioritization, and automated security standard enforcement, making secure development faster, smarter, and safer.
The shift toward continuous security represents more than technological advancement – it embodies a fundamental operational philosophy where security becomes integral to innovation rather than an obstacle. Organizations implementing Veracode’s comprehensive application risk management platform position themselves to harness emerging technologies confidently while maintaining robust security postures.
With Veracode, businesses can innovate with confidence—delivering fast, intelligent software that reduces risk, accelerates development and proves compliance, making security an enabler, not a blocker.
