Latest Innovations from Veracode Help Organizations Be Secure by Design

LAS VEGAS - Monday, 02. December 2024

Company Launches Veracode Risk Manager and Enhancements in AI-powered Remediation

(BUSINESS WIRE)--AWS Re:Invent (booth #563)-- Veracode, a global leader in application risk management, today announced powerful innovations to help developers build secure-by-design software, and security teams reduce risk across their code-to-cloud ecosystem. The latest enhancements in Veracode Fix and Veracode Risk Manager, formerly known as Longbow Security, give developers the ability to build software, assess risk, and remediate at the click of a button in their preferred environment.

Tim Jarrett, Group Vice President of Product Management at Veracode, said, “Six months ago, we proudly signed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Secure By Design pledge, which set out to build cybersecurity into the design and manufacture of technology products. To fulfil that promise, Veracode continues to invest in new features that shift security left and make it a more automated, frictionless experience for developers.”

AI-powered Remediation in the IDE for Developers

The explosion of AI means code is now being written faster than ever—but the challenge is AI-generated code contains around the same percentage of flaws as human-generated code. With 71 percent of organizations drowning in security debt through years of accumulated code vulnerabilities, developers are in dire need of tools to accelerate flaw remediation.

The latest innovations in Veracode Fix, which combines AI and human expertise to reduce remediation time from months to minutes, means developers now have access to drop-in code fixes for up to 80 percent of first-party weaknesses. For an organization with 2,000 security flaws, this means using the tool could cut the time to clear security debt by 2,400 hours, saving $240,000 compared to manual remediation.

“We listened carefully to feedback from developers who loved the tool and wanted to integrate it into their workflows. With many of our customers building in environments like GitHub every day, we brought Veracode Fix directly into their Push/Pull Request activities. Our flexible GitHub Action can be configured to remediate all files in a project, fix all supported flaw types, and enable developers to leave individual comments on each fix suggestion,” Jarrett said.

Veracode Fix is available in all integrated development environments (IDE), meaning developers can fix vulnerabilities at the push of a button in their CI/CD pipelines and ensure they’re building software that’s secure by design.

The tool is already helping customers make security innovation become a measurable reality. Phillip Hagedorn, Cloud Architect at HDI Global SE, said, “One future success factor will be Veracode’s artificial intelligence helping fix our findings. AI supporting fixes is a game changer. We have an approved plan for benefitting from AI, and it’s time to roll it out.”

With Veracode’s newest IDE support, developers can also find and fix vulnerabilities in first-party and open-source code before adding it to the codebase. This means more streamlined workflows and problem-solving using static analysis and software composition analysis in Visual Code Studio, JetBrains (IntelliJ, PyCharm, Rider), Eclipse, and Visual Studio.

Application Security Posture Management with Veracode Risk Manager for Security Teams

Alongside Veracode Fix, Veracode Risk Manager (VRM) correlates and contextualises risk from code to cloud, tracing it back to the root cause to enable one-to-many remediation. This comprehensive visibility empowers security teams to prioritize and eliminate the most critical vulnerabilities with the least amount of effort.

A series of new advancements to VRM gives developers and security teams even greater control over risk management. The latest features include:

1. GitLab Repository Connector: Empowers root cause analysis of runtime issues by tracing them directly back to the source code repository, allowing teams to pinpoint the origin of risks and accelerate remediation.
2. GitLab Ultimate Security Findings: Enables ingestion, unification, correlation, and prioritization of Gitlab Ultimate Security Findings including Static Analysis and Container Security findings. This enables teams to focus on the issues that matter most and provides unified risk and compliance reporting.
3. Custom Compliance Mappings: Provides organizations with the tools to customize compliance mappings according to their specific requirements, facilitating easier compliance management.
4. New Connectors: VRM has several new native findings connectors, including Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, Aquasec, ServiceNow Two-Way sync, and more.

“VRM is the brain of cloud-native security, making it an indispensable tool for enterprises committed to fortifying their defenses in a cloud-native world. The tool addresses common challenges, such as fragmented visibility and scalability limitations, and transforms how organizations visualize, prioritize, and remediate risk with a 360-degree view of security vulnerabilities. These latest enhancements, along with the Application Risk Heatmap and Universal Connector features we launched earlier this year, make VRM a transformative upgrade for enterprises that are serious about security,” Jarrett said.

Helping Organizations Build Secure by Design

Veracode’s newly appointed Chief Product Officer, Ravi Iyer, is focused on embedding security into product development and enhancing the overall developer experience. “These latest innovations underline the importance of building, buying, and deploying software that’s secure by design. Our customers need solutions that help them identify, manage, and remediate risk at scale, and we’ll continue to meet this demand by making Veracode’s products integrated and easy for developers to use,” Iyer said.

Veracode will be at AWS Re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, December 2-6, 2024. Visit booth #563 for more information on the latest products or to get a demo of Veracode Fix and VRM.

Raxio Group, Africa's Most Expansive Data Centre Network, Appoints Robert Skjødt as CEO

 

 

AMSTERDAM - Monday, 02. December 2024 AETOSWire

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Raxio Group, the data centre provider with the widest footprint across African markets, has appointed Robert Skjødt as Chief Executive Officer. Leveraging his extensive background in management of infrastructure development and operations across Africa, Skjødt will spearhead Raxio's next phase of expansion, planning to at least double the company's presence across the continent within the next three years.

Skjødt brings more than 30 years of experience, with a career that spans leadership roles in major energy, renewables and infrastructure firms worldwide. For the last decade he focused on Africa, where he led the creation of BTE, a pan-African renewable energy company, which was acquired by global energy giant Engie in 2023. Skjødt previously held senior positions at ABB, a global leader in power and automation technologies, where he oversaw complex infrastructure projects and M&A activity across multiple continents.

With a network of state-of-the-art Tier III carrier-neutral data centres in Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania and Angola, Raxio is uniquely positioned to meet the growing demand for reliable digital infrastructure in Africa's emerging economies. Under Skjødt's leadership, the company plans to enter additional high-growth markets while increasing its capacity in existing markets to support digital transformation on the continent.

"Our goal is to accelerate Africa's digital growth responsibly," said Robert Skjødt. "By combining Raxio's expertise in data centre development with sustainable energy practices, we can provide essential infrastructure that not only meets the needs of today but also preserves resources for future generations. I'm excited to lead Raxio in expanding our reach and deepening our commitment to environmental stewardship."

Frans Van Schaik, Chairman of Raxio Group, highlighted the strategic significance of Skjødt's appointment. "Robert's proven track record in pioneering infrastructure projects across Africa aligns perfectly with Raxio's vision for growth. His leadership will be pivotal as we scale our operations and enhance our services to meet the evolving needs of our clients," he said.

Raxio's expansion strategy focuses on underserved markets with significant growth potential, and is ideally positioned to respond to growing continental and global needs for data centre capacity while minimising electricity and water usage for power and cooling. By 2027, Raxio plans to establish data centres in at least five additional African countries, more than doubling current capacity and solidifying its position as the continent's leading data centre network. This ambitious growth plan is underpinned by Raxio’s unique track-record of building best-in-class data centres and an uncompromising commitment to customer service, safety and sustainability.

Skjødt, who will join Jan. 1, was appointed following a comprehensive search conducted by executive firm Egon Zehnder, reflecting Raxio's dedication to strategic leadership and continuity. The outgoing CEO, Robert Mullins, transformed Raxio from a single-project venture into a multi-country operation, and will remain an advisor to ensure a seamless transition.

"When we started, our mission was to build one data centre in Uganda," said Mullins. "Today, Raxio stands as the only operator with a presence in seven African countries. I am confident that under Robert Skjødt's leadership, the company will not only expand its footprint and capacity but also set new standards for sustainability and operational excellence in the industry."

Raxio Group's unique approach bridges the digital divide by providing high-quality, reliable infrastructure in markets often overlooked by larger operators. This strategy fosters local economic development and innovation by enabling businesses and institutions to access world-class data centre services.

"As we look to the future, our focus remains on delivering impactful infrastructure that empowers African economic leadership," said Van Schaik. "With Robert Skjødt at the helm, Raxio is poised to lead the way in sustainable data centre development, ensuring that our growth benefits both our clients and the communities we serve."

About Raxio Group

Raxio Group is Africa’s premier provider of Tier III carrier-neutral colocation data centres, offering reliable and scalable infrastructure to support the continent's digital transformation.
