Introducing Veracode Risk Manager: A New Chapter in ASPM Built for Scale

In a digital world that’s evolving faster than ever, industry landscapes are shifting, and customer needs are becoming more complex. At Veracode, we recognize these fundamental changes in the application security space. That’s why Veracode strategically acquired Longbow Security, now rebranded as Veracode Risk Manager. This pivotal move brings Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) into our suite of offerings, transforming us from a leader in world-class code testing to a comprehensive platform that delivers unified risk management from code to cloud. 

Join us as we explore what this significant transition means for you and unveil our latest feature releases. 

What is Veracode Risk Manager? 

Veracode Risk Manager (VRM) signifies a groundbreaking evolution in ASPM, meticulously designed to meet the complex demands of modern enterprises operating within increasingly intricate digital ecosystems. By integrating the cutting-edge capabilities of Longbow Security, VRM doesn’t just offer enhanced visibility and control over security risks; it transforms the way you manage them by consolidating all risks into a single, unified platform, thanks to its open-ecosystem architecture. 
 
VRM goes far beyond merely aggregating findings or presenting risks in a consolidated view. It excels in correlating and contextualizing risks, tracing them back to their root cause. This empowers your teams to eliminate the most critical vulnerabilities with the least amount of effort. The platform provides highly specific remediation solutions that can be seamlessly implemented at scale. 

This transformative shift enables organizations to manage security risks more effectively with centralized visibility of vulnerabilities and findings from various security scanning tools. VRM automates issue investigation and prioritization while facilitating real-time monitoring – which is crucial for evaluating and improving security and application posture in multi-cloud environments. 

Who is Veracode Risk Manager For? 

If you find yourself facing any of these critical challenges, then VRM is the solution you’ve been searching for: 

1. Fragmented Visibility: Are you struggling with fragmented or limited visibility into application security risks across different tools and environments? This patchwork approach makes it nearly impossible to grasp your overall security posture, hampering effective risk management when you need it most.  

2. Unclear Application Ownership: Do you have trouble pinpointing who owns an application and tracing issues back to their origin? This lack of clarity can stall remediation efforts and leave vulnerabilities exposed longer than necessary. 

3. Scalability Limitations: Are your current tools bottlenecking your ability to scale, forcing your teams to devise workarounds that drain time and resources? The manual effort required here not only wastes valuable time but also introduces the risk of human error. 

4. Overwhelming Tool Noise and Lack of Prioritization: Is your team inundated with alerts from point solutions that can’t contextualize or prioritize risks? Without a clear focus, your teams are stuck in endless cycles of manual investigation, unsure where to concentrate their efforts for the greatest impact on security posture. 

5. Insufficient Cloud-Native Capabilities: Are you finding it challenging to adapt tools that aren’t truly cloud-native to manage the expansive reach of your application and cloud attack surface? This gap can leave your cloud assets vulnerable and your security posture weakened. 

VRM directly addresses these challenges by providing a unified, scalable, and cloud-native platform. It delivers comprehensive visibility into all your security risks in one place, ensures clear ownership and accountability, and empowers your teams with the tools they need to prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities effectively. Say goodbye to fragmented systems and hello to a streamlined approach that elevates your security posture across the board. 

Recent Advancements Elevate Veracode Risk Manager’s Capabilities 

We’re excited to unveil a series of powerful enhancements to VRM, each meticulously designed to streamline your risk management processes and fortify your security posture in today’s complex digital landscape. 

1. Application Risk Heatmap: Gain immediate, comprehensive visibility into risks across all your applications with our dynamic heatmap. This feature empowers your teams to quickly identify which applications contribute the most significant risks, along with their origin and owner. By transforming complex data into intuitive visuals, it enables swift, informed decision making to mitigate risks effectively. 

2. Universal Connector: Allows for seamless integration with any data source, ensuring that no finding or asset data is left behind. Even hard to reach data can be ingested into VRM using Universal Connector. 

3. GitLab Repository Connector: Empowers root cause analysis of runtime issues by tracing them directly back to the source code repository, allowing teams to pinpoint the origin of risks and accelerate remediation. 

4. GitLab Ultimate Security Findings: Enables ingestion, unification, correlation, and prioritization of Gitlab Ultimate Security Findings including SAST and Container Security findings. This enables your team to focus on the issues that matter most and provides unified risk and compliance reporting. 

5. Custom Compliance Mappings: Provides organizations with the tools to customize compliance mappings according to their specific requirements, facilitating easier compliance management. 

6. New Connectors: VRM has several new native findings connectors including Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, Aquasec, ServiceNow Two-Way sync, and more. 

These advancements collectively amplify the power and effectiveness of Veracode Risk Manager, transforming it into an indispensable tool for any organization serious about securing its applications in a cloud-native world. By integrating cutting-edge features and user-centric improvements, we’re providing you with a more robust, agile, and comprehensive platform to proactively manage and mitigate risks.
