FedRAMP is a government-wide programme that provides a standardised approach to security assessment, authorisation, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. StateRAMP provides a comprehensive security framework designed to improve cloud security for state and local governments.

 Veracode’s future vision

The Forrester Wave™ report states, “Veracode differentiates with reporting, remediation, and a programmatic approach.” Veracode offers a wide range of metrics and KPIs to meet customer needs, including fixed rate, security trends and policy compliance, all in a digestible format.

The report also highlighted Veracode’s future vision, which aims to “lower the development burden while providing security with a 360-degree view of the application risk landscape.” This vision includes “an exciting roadmap with AI-powered features for flaw prevention, automated remediation, intelligent prioritisation, and cross-correlation of application security testing (AST) scans." 

The report notes, “Veracode Fix is a noteworthy innovation that utilises generative AI to automatically generate fixes for a finding. Veracode introduced Veracode Fix earlier this year, which utilises generative AI to automatically suggest remediations for security flaws found in first-party code."
