ARMONK, N.Y., April 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE:
IBM) today announced that Gartner, Inc. has named IBM as a leader
in Application Security Testing (AST) in the recently published
Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing which
analyzes vendors' Static, Dynamic and Interactive Application
Security Testing styles. IBM has been named a leader by Gartner in
Application Security Testing in four consecutive reports.
According to Gartner, IBM Security was recognized for its
completeness of vision and ability to execute. As part of its AST
portfolio, IBM has also added innovative Static Application
Security Testing functionality to improve accuracy with Intelligent
Code Analytics (ICA) and Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA), both
of which are delivered via the cloud to on-premises and cloud
clients.
IBM's Application Security Management platform gives businesses
a risk-centric unified reporting dashboard with a complementary
framework to manage security risks in applications across business
operations. IBM Security's Application Security Testing solutions
including IBM Security AppScan and IBM Application Security on
Cloud, provide preemptive protection for mobile and web-based
applications.
"To us, acknowledgement as a leader four times in a row in the
Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing is
something our team is very proud of," said Larry Gerard, Program Director, Application
Security Offering Management, IBM Security. "IBM's use of Cognitive
Analytics to automate and reduce manual steps has helped to
maintain our leadership position while also simplifying the AST
process for our clients. We are focused on providing solutions to
secure apps from vulnerabilities and help organizations to
remediate and avoid potential attacks in the future. The best
application security defense strategy is to design and build secure
applications."
According to Gartner, "Security testing is growing faster than
any other security market, as AST solutions adapt to new
development methodologies and increased application complexity.
Security and risk management leaders must integrate AST into their
application security programs."
