The Applied Research team improves the security capabilities of Veracode’s products by providing detailed specifications, test cases, implementation guidance, and customer-facing content to engineering. They help product teams understand what is possible, explore the risks of adding or altering certain capabilities, and understand how current and potential capabilities fit in with software development and application security as a whole. They conduct speculative research projects aimed at reinforcing Veracode’s brand reputation by sharing compelling research with the global security community through various channels.
