Veracode, a leading provider of intelligent software security solutions, today launches Veracode Fix, a new AI-powered product. Trained on Veracode’s proprietary dataset, Veracode Fix suggests remediations for security flaws found in code and open-source dependencies.
Shifting the Paradigm from Merely ‘Find’ to ‘Find and Fix’
“For far too long, organizations have had to choose between remediating software security flaws and meeting aggressive deadlines to push code into production. Veracode Fix makes it possible to deliver more secure software faster, at lower cost, and with higher confidence,” said Brian Roche, Chief Product Officer at Veracode.
“Through the power of AI and machine learning, leveraging GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) technology, we’ve revolutionized the way developers and security teams address software security issues. Nearly two decades ago, Veracode pioneered a new industry standard as a cloud-based SaaS security platform. Today, we set a new bar, moving beyond application security testing to intelligent software security.”
Since its inception in 2006, Veracode has been committed to helping organizations find, understand, and remediate software security risk. The release of Veracode Fix brings software security to the next level by changing the scope of application security from merely ‘find’ to ‘find and fix.’
Automated Attacks Require Automated Response
Traditionally, when a flaw is found, developers research and rewrite code to manually fix the security issue. This requires enormous effort when compounded across thousands of security flaws in a codebase. This approach typically delays releases into production and increases security debt.
“Fixing security flaws has traditionally been a manual effort—until now,” said Roche. “With the increase in automated attacks, it’s no longer tenable to continue to remediate flaws entirely manually. Veracode Fix paves the way to a scalable mechanism to remove vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.”
Veracode Fix will be generally available with initial support for Java and C# in June 2023. To learn more about Veracode Fix, read more here.

Forum Systems Inc., a leader in API gateway technology, releases the next generation of its flagship product, Forum Sentry, Version 9.1. The company continues to redefine excellence in API integration, security, and identity management.
"CIOs are often scrambling to manage the growing complexity of their business systems. A simple API integration service might be deployed. But then the traffic comes. These platforms can only scale by adding more vCores, which is unsustainable," warns Mamoon Yunus, CEO of Forum Systems. He continued, "integration is as much a part of our product now as security and identity. We're proud of how Sentry's low-code/no-code environment is saving our clients millions in computing costs by optimizing performance."
To continue to serve its users well, Sentry v9.1 comes with several new features—each designed to be resource-efficient and performant. Sentry now supports: PostgreSQL, Cobol Copybooks, OpenAPI v3.0, JSON Web Tokens, direct JSON mapping, as well as running custom scripts.
Caching in Sentry is now faster and more flexible. It can leverage Redis as a fast in-memory cache that is safer for runtime. And users have finer control over Sentry's caching behavior through Read and Store: Sentry can apply a task list before a cached response is returned, which allows, for example, distinct responses based on client-specific attributes.
A typical organization manages hundreds of APIs—each with its own size, latency, and invocation schedule. Normally a human would set thresholds to monitor performance, but this becomes intractable as the number of APIs grows. A few rules cannot handle the complexity and the false positives drown out real anomalies. Sentry now leverages machine learning to automate performance monitoring: it captures baseline API characteristics and alerts on deviations from what is expected, which enables real-time proactive business monitoring.
Forum Systems encourages all organizations to assess their current API strategy and identify pain points. For further information on Sentry v9.1, check out the release notes or schedule a product demo.

Noname Security, the leading provider of complete API security solutions, today announced major enhancements to its market-leading API security platform to help organisations protect their API ecosystem, secure their applications, and increase cyber resilience. With the fastest, most flexible, and most comprehensive solution on the market, Noname Security continues to define API security.
Noname Enables Secure Growth with API Security Innovation
Today, APIs drive business, delivering value to customers, clients, patients, users, shareholders, and more. However, securing APIs – and all of the critical assets they connect – has become more difficult than ever as APIs attacks have increased exponentially. IBM Security X-Force reported that two-thirds of its analysed incidents were due to unsecure APIs.
"APIs are the connective tissue for the digital world, but the explosion in API use has created new and rapidly growing threats to organisations across the globe. We created the Noname API Security Platform to uniquely address the modern API ecosystem, with discovery, insight, protection, and testing capabilities," said Shay Levi, Co-Founder and CTO at Noname Security. "Doing so means not only securing APIs and their use, but also improving the speed at which our customers can expand their business."
The Noname API Security Platform Continues to Define API Security
Noname's latest major release delivers new capabilities across the entire platform – covering discovery, posture management, runtime protection, pre-production testing, and deployment – to help customers:
Discover More & Strengthen Security Posture
Noname Security's Discovery and Posture Management solutions locate and provide insight to every API in an organisation's ecosystem, uncovering vulnerabilities (including the most recent OWASP API Top Ten), protecting sensitive data, and proactively monitoring for changes, including in OpenAPI and other specifications. New capabilities enable customers to:
Gain complete visibility and detailed insights to protect APIs with customisable discovery, flexible tagging, and datatype assignments – including PII, PCI, PHI, and custom categories – for grouping APIs by application, business unit, and more.
Understand APIs in rich context with visualisations of business logic, physical network infrastructure, and API traffic to understand specific interactions and behaviour patterns.
Secure containerised applications with enhanced discovery and detection for Kubernetes (k8s).
Prioritise resources and eliminate blind spots with extensive infrastructure inventories for AWS and Azure, enabling organisations to find unprotected APIs, map the connections between APIs and infrastructure resources, pinpoint resources that could increase the attack surface, and resolve potential issues with full context.
Stop Attacks with Runtime Protection
Noname Security Runtime Protection detects and blocks API attacks with real-time traffic analysis, out-of-band monitoring, inline remediation options, and workflow integrations to increase SOC effectiveness. New capabilities enable customers to:
Identify business-logic-based attacks immediately with updates to the industry's most advanced anomaly detection engine using artificial intelligence & machine learning (AI/ML), including unsupervised online learning.
Reduce Mean-Time-To-Resolution (MTTR) with more context on issue records, including detailed remediation guidance and tools for deeper investigation.
Fully align with security operations center (SOC) processes with automation, custom workflows, and integrations with existing systems such as ITSM, SIEM, SOAR, and more.
Deliver Secure APIs Faster with Active Testing
Noname Security Active Testing is a purpose-built API security testing solution that helps organisations easily add security into the CI/CD pipeline without sacrificing speed. The newest version of Active Testing enables customers to:
Shift left with integrations into the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). Teams get dynamic API visibility across multiple states and environments throughout the CI/CD process.
