Veracode, acquired by leading private investment firm Thoma Bravo LLC in January 2019 for $950 million, is addressing customer needs with new product innovations that give companies a competitive edge by embedding security directly into the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Companies are using Veracode in Agile, microservices, DevSecOps, cloud native apps, and APIs.
The application security market is poised to grow to $7 billion by 2023, according to a report1 by Forrester Research, fueled by rapid proliferation of software and an increased cadence of application layer breaches. To ensure the software they are building, buying and downloading is secure, organizations around the world are adopting the full suite of solutions offered by the Veracode platform to create secure code.
