Veracode, a global leader in application risk management, announced that it has been granted a U.S. patent for its generative AI-based security tool, Veracode Fix. This AI-powered technology helps developers instantly fix vulnerabilities in 11 languages and across all integrated environments, helping to strengthen an organization’s security.
By automating the remediation process, Veracode Fix enables organizations to accelerate innovation and growth by continuously fixing vulnerabilities throughout the software development lifecycle. Launched in April 2023, this feature was the first to combine artificial intelligence and human expertise to automate remediation recommendations for security holes in code.
“This is a significant milestone,” said Tim Jarrett, group vice president and head of product management. “The patent for Veracode Fix demonstrates our ongoing commitment to our customers by providing innovative security solutions that help organizations manage and remediate application risks at scale.”

Innovative Software Security and Customer Impact
This patent (US12229040B2) addresses the critical challenge of remediating risks in complex application environments. By applying extensive knowledge of code vulnerabilities and artificial intelligence, Veracode enables organizations to:
- Proactively reduce the attack surface
- Accelerate vulnerability remediation
- Improve operational efficiency
- Making applications secure with greater reliability
A leading financial services company stated, “The patent for Veracode Fix is well-deserved recognition of innovative security remediation technology. As long-time users, we have seen the tremendous value this solution brings to our development ecosystem, enabling our teams to fix vulnerabilities 16 times faster at 3x the rate. In addition to reducing remediation cycles, Veracode Fix has enabled our development staff to naturally integrate security practices into their daily workflows, significantly reducing our risk. Our sincere congratulations to the entire team on this achievement!”
Veracode Fix was invented by world-class application security experts who recognized early on the potential of Generative Pre-trained Transformers (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 using supervised learning, unlike other AI tools that are trained on insecure code in a “natural” environment.
