Why & How to use Veracode Risk Manager

Why use Veracode Risk Manager?


Today, enterprises are overwhelmed:

  • Multiple tools across code, cloud, and runtime generate fragmented, siloed data with no centralized view of application risk.
  • Vulnerabilities and misconfigurations accumulate into a tidal wave of findings, often duplicated across scanners.
  • Without business and exploitability context, it’s hard to know which issues matter most, leaving critical risks hidden among the noise.
  • Security and development teams waste hours triaging and investigating, slowing remediation and distracting from innovation.
  • Executives and risk leaders lack clear insight into progress and compliance posture, making it difficult to demonstrate risk reduction over time.


In summary: 

The problem is noise without clarity: too many alerts, too many tools, and no confidence that remediation efforts are reducing the risks that matter.

What does VRM unlock for me & my team?


  • Unifies findings: Consolidates application and cloud vulnerabilities into a single, asset-based view.
  • Prioritizes with context: Applies exploitability intelligence (EPSS, KEV, reachability) alongside business factors (criticality, environment, ownership).
  • Automates workflows: Deduplicates, groups, and routes issues directly into developer and risk management systems.
  • Delivers Best Next Actions: Guides teams to fixes that produce the greatest measurable risk reduction.
  • Enables executive insight: Provides dashboards, trending metrics, and audit-ready compliance reporting.
