What is Veracode AI?

Veracode AI is an application security platform that combines multiple testing methods to find and fix vulnerabilities in your code. It uses static analysis (SAST) to examine source code, dynamic analysis (DAST) to test running applications, and software composition analysis (SCA) to check third-party dependencies for known issues. The platform includes AI-assisted guidance to help developers understand vulnerabilities and implement fixes correctly. The tool is designed for development teams and security engineers who need to identify security flaws throughout the application lifecycle. By automating much of the scanning process and providing clear remediation advice, it aims to reduce the time spent on security testing whilst improving code quality. The free tier makes it accessible to smaller teams and individual developers starting their security testing journey.

Key features

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

Scans source code to identify coding flaws and security weaknesses before compilation

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

Tests running applications to find vulnerabilities that only appear during execution

Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

Checks open-source libraries and dependencies for known vulnerabilities

AI-assisted fix guidance

Provides recommendations and context to help developers understand and resolve identified issues

Automated scanning

Runs security tests without manual intervention, fitting into continuous integration workflows

Pros & cons

Advantages

  • Free tier available, making it accessible without upfront cost
  • Combines multiple security testing methods in one platform rather than requiring separate tools
  • AI-powered fix suggestions reduce the learning curve for developers unfamiliar with security practices
  • Integrates into development workflows to catch issues early in the development cycle

Limitations

  • Free tier likely has limitations on scan frequency, project size, or feature access that may not suit larger teams
  • Effectiveness of AI-assisted fixes depends on code complexity; some vulnerabilities may require specialist expertise
  • Learning to interpret and act on scan results requires some security knowledge from developers

Use cases

Development teams integrating security testing into continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines

Small organisations and startups that need security scanning but have limited dedicated security staff

Teams managing legacy applications that need vulnerability assessment and remediation guidance

Open-source project maintainers checking dependencies for known security issues

Educational institutions teaching secure coding practices to students
