| Enterprises are increasingly transacting critical data with customers and remote workers through mobile applications, yet the security of these applications goes largely untested. Source code for mobile applications is rarely available, as most software is written by third parties, and is insufficient in finding vulnerabilities such as backdoors, malicious code or flaws introduced by third party libraries and components. Veracode provides the only solution to assess binary code – the way attackers see it – enabling organizations to apply a common, holistic approach to secure both their mobile and server applications regardless of whether they are internally developed, purchased from a commercial vendor, outsourced or open source.
The Verified by Veracode Software Ratings Programme is a quality indicator for the security level of applications and software components. By expanding this Programme to cover mobile software, providers of mobile applications can now protect their brand and platform with a consistent and automated security verification Programme for mobile applications developed internally or by third parties. Organizations who have achieved "Verified by Veracode" status have made reasonable efforts to demonstrate that they have taken due care to ensure the security of their applications and their software has been assessed against industry standards for software assurance. |
