## Executive Summary

Veracode sells application security testing whose product pages display a Forrester Wave Leader placement for static analysis, backed by twenty years of scanning and a Fortune 500 base across regulated industries. What a customer buys is a cloud platform it configures and a proprietary vulnerability database a funded rival could approach over time, so the scanning itself is the part a rival could rebuild. What slows a switch is the integration depth across a customer's pipeline, the regulated procurement review, and a FedRAMP Moderate certification a rival must also earn through the program's authorization path. Veracode fits the regulated and federal buyer, where the authorization and review slow a switch, and competes on product features alone where they do not.

The analyses are statements of opinion, not statements of fact. Machine analysis produced the scores, summaries, and matrix placements by weighing the public sources each page cites, and reasonable people can weigh the same sources differently.
