MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
April 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), today announced it has
been named by Gartner, Inc. as a Leader in the "Magic
Quadrant for Application Security Testing" for the third
consecutive year.1 In the report,
Gartner evaluated 11 application security testing vendors
based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute.
Synopsys was positioned highest for ability to execute and the
furthest to the right for completeness of vision.
According to the authors of the report, "Gartner has observed
that the major driver in the evolution of the AST market is the
need to support enterprise DevOps initiatives. In a DevOps
environment, customers require offerings that provide a higher
degree of automation, correlation of findings and integration with
DevOps pipeline tools. In general, clients desire solutions that
focus on high-assurance, high-value findings with fast turnaround
times. Buyers expect offerings to fit earlier in the development
process with testing often driven by developers rather than
security specialists, and tightly integrated as part of the build
and release process."
"AST solutions must be fast, automated, and integrated into the
development pipeline in order to effectively manage application
security risk in modern DevOps environments," said Andreas Kuehlmann, co-general manager of
the Synopsys Software Integrity Group. "At the same time, they
need to produce high-fidelity results that facilitate prioritized
and efficient remediation efforts to avoid unwanted friction with
developers. We believe Gartner's continued recognition of Synopsys
as a Leader in application security testing validates our strategy
and ability to address these customer needs."
