Veracode has been granted a United States patent for its generative artificial intelligence security tool, Veracode Fix.

This AI-powered technology assists developers to fix vulnerabilities instantly across 11 languages in all integrated environments, helping strengthen an organization’s security posture.

Automating the remediation process, Veracode Fix enables organizations to accelerate innovation and growth by seamlessly remediating vulnerabilities across the software development life cycle. Launched in April 2023, the capability was the first to combine artificial intelligence and human expertise to automate fix suggestions for security flaws in code.

“This is a major milestone for Veracode,” said Tim Jarrett, Group Vice President of Product Management. “The Veracode Fix patent demonstrates our unwavering commitment to customers by offering innovative security solutions that help organizations manage and remediate application risk at scale.”

This patent (US12229040B2) addresses the critical challenge of remediating risk in complex application environments. By applying extensive knowledge of code vulnerabilities and AI-driven intelligence, Veracode empowers organizations to:

- Proactively reduce their attack surface

- Accelerate vulnerability remediation

- Improve operational efficiency

- Deliver secure applications with greater confidence

Veracode Fix was invented by world-class application security experts, who recognized early the potential of Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) technology—a type of Large Language Model (LLM) that uses deep learning to produce human-like content—to revolutionize software security. The tool is trained on Veracode’s proprietary knowledge base using supervised learning, unlike other AI tools that are trained on insecure code ‘in the wild.’

In celebration of this milestone, Veracode is offering a trial of Veracode Fix with no initial cost.
