Key features
- Cloud-native SAST — fully managed static code analysis without on-premise infrastructure
- SCA — open-source vulnerability and licence compliance scanning with SBOM generation
- DAST — managed dynamic application security testing for deployed APAC web applications
- Penetration testing as a service — expert security researcher manual testing for high-risk APAC applications
- Policy API — automated deployment pipeline blocking when security policy thresholds are breached
- IAST — runtime security instrumentation for APAC Java and .NET applications in test environments
- Developer eLearning — contextual security training delivered alongside vulnerability findings
Best for
- APAC financial services and regulated enterprises wanting cloud-native application security without infrastructure management
- Organisations requiring automated security policy enforcement in APAC CI/CD deployment pipelines
- APAC enterprises needing manual penetration testing for high-risk application launches alongside automated scanning
- APAC compliance-driven environments where security scan evidence must be demonstrable in regulatory audits
Limitations to know
- ! Veracode enterprise pricing is among the higher-cost application security platforms — evaluate against Checkmarx for APAC budget comparison
- ! Cloud-native model means APAC organisations with strict data sovereignty requirements must verify Veracode data handling for scan artefacts
- ! SAST scan times for large APAC codebases can be slow — pipeline integration may require asynchronous scan workflow configuration
- ! APAC language and framework support depth varies — verify specific APAC technology stack coverage before enterprise commitment
About Veracode
Veracode is a cloud-native application security platform that provides APAC enterprises, financial services organisations, and regulated industries with static analysis (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), dynamic analysis (DAST), interactive application security testing (IAST), and penetration testing as a service — delivered as a fully managed cloud service without requiring APAC organisations to deploy and maintain on-premise security scanning infrastructure.
Veracode's cloud-native architecture — which delivers all security scanning capabilities as a SaaS service, with no on-premise scanning infrastructure, no agent installation on developer workstations, and no maintenance overhead for APAC security teams — distinguishes it from self-hosted alternatives for APAC enterprises where operational simplicity is a priority. APAC financial services organisations that cannot dedicate engineering capacity to maintaining security scanning infrastructure benefit from Veracode's managed service model.
Veracode's Policy API — which enforces application security policy by blocking pipeline deployments when security scan results fail policy thresholds (no applications with severity High or above may deploy to production; all applications must achieve Veracode Level 2 security assessment before release) — provides APAC enterprises with automated security governance that manual review cannot enforce consistently. APAC regulated industries where application security policy compliance is an audit requirement use Veracode's policy enforcement as the technical control that demonstrates policy adherence in security audits.
Veracode's penetration testing as a service — which provides APAC enterprises with on-demand access to Veracode security researchers who conduct manual application penetration testing, API security assessment, and mobile application security review — extends Veracode's automated scanning with human security expertise for high-risk APAC applications. APAC financial institutions launching new digital banking applications or payment platforms that require thorough security validation before launch use Veracode PenTesting as a service for the pre-launch security assessment.
Veracode's eLearning capability — which provides APAC developers with security training modules delivered in the context of their scan findings (when a developer receives a SQL injection finding, Veracode provides targeted SQL injection prevention training) — enables APAC engineering teams to build security knowledge alongside security scanning feedback, reducing the recurrence rate of common vulnerability classes as developers internalise secure coding patterns.
