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.
