Great idea! Unfortunately, I am not going to RSA. Can you post something afterwards?
@@DeCaPa (Community Member) - Absolutely! I am hoping we are able to get a group together. What has your interaction with the Verified program been at your organization?
It has been well received by the business. I believe we have about 5 approved. Veracode updates were provided at submission and approval, but the time between was a few weeks that went w/o communication. The Verified documentation said only a few days to approve. Short approval time isn't a big selling point, rather, getting back within the stated time frame is more important to me (IMHO), even if it is a week or longer.
The other point to bring up is that I've found that business sponsors are excited to get things initiated. However, once approved, There are additional activities that the business needs to do (press release, display seal, etc), that falls short. I try to set the expectations when talking about the Verified program. I think this is important to do, because there isn't value getting a site approved, when it isn't promoted or socialized.
@@DeCaPa (Community Member) - Thank you for your candid feedback. I am always looking to improve our processes to make sure the Verified program is providing it's members with the best value. Next month marks the first year of the Verified program and we are excited about the positive response we have received from organizations such as yours. So, we will be looking at tightening the response rate moving forward.
Regarding your second point on full adoption across the business sponsors...what I have noticed in working with all the companies in the Verified program is that those customers who have been able to include business stakeholders outside the security/development teams, have been able to take better advantage of the benefits of the Verified program. The best example I can give you is looking at the Verified Directory. We have 40 companies listed, but we really have over 80 in the Verified program!
If the effort to participate in the Veracode Verified program is initiated by either Security or Development, I urge you to engage with Product and/Marketing as well to get the visibility and lift from the program.
To all Verified members: If you are not listed in the Verified Directory, take a look at the Verified Toolkit (https://community.veracode.com/s/verified-visibility-toolkit) for the information needed. - Asha
