Why use Veracode in your IDE?
- Prevent the net new introduction of flaws
- Burn down existing technical debt
- Manage 3rd party risk introduced during coding
- Prevent Net New Introduction of 3rd party Vulns
What does this unlock for me & my team?
- Developers can detect and fix security flaws as they write code
- Developers can detect and fix security flaws as they review code as part of their flaw burndown process
- Developers can review flaws existing on the Veracode platform and propose a flaw mitigation category as a temporary measure.
- Note: Flaws mitigated will no longer fail Veracode policy
- Developers can review vulnerabilities open-source libraries and dependencies, ensuring they are up to date and secure.
How: Paths to Success
Use Veracode in your IDE - documentation
Prevent the net new introduction of flaws

- Review SCA vuln libraries and any licenses found
- Decide on corrective action based on company process
Burn down existing technical debt
- Run Veracode static and sca scan
- Review and apply patch supplied by Veracode Fix for targeted flaws
- Dependent on burn down strategy From IDE source control changes, review fixes provided by Veracode Fix and choose fix to apply

- Download existing results and perform flaw mitigation proposal
Stop 3rd party risk from being introduced on workstations
- After Veracode Package Firewall has been installed - when packages are installed, only packages allowed by firewall policy will be installed
