Cox Automotive Application Security Integration Case Study

This case study details the partnership between Cox Automotive and Veracode, focusing on the integration of application security (AppSec) solutions into Cox Automotive's software development lifecycle (SDLC). The document outlines the challenges faced by Cox Automotive with their previous AppSec provider, which was slow and hindered development processes. To address these issues, Cox Automotive sought a more efficient AppSec provider that would facilitate faster software deployment without overwhelming their engineering teams. After evaluating various vendors, Cox Automotive selected Veracode for its ease of integration and rapid scanning capabilities. The results of this partnership are significant, with scan times reduced from days to minutes, allowing for quicker software releases and improved application security maturity. The case study also highlights the cultural shift within Cox Automotive, where developers have embraced security responsibilities, leading to fewer code flaws and enhanced customer trust.
