MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
May 1, 2020 /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
fourth 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 for the second
year in a row.
According to the authors of the report, "Gartner has observed
the major driver in the evolution of the AST market is the need to
support enterprise DevOps initiatives. Customers require
offerings that provide high-assurance, high-value findings
while not unnecessarily slowing down development efforts. Clients
expect offerings to fit earlier in the development process,
with testing often driven by developers rather than
security specialists. As a result, this market evaluation
focuses more heavily on the buyer's needs when it comes to
supporting rapid and accurate testing capable of being integrated
in an increasingly automated fashion throughout the software
development life cycle."
"There is no silver bullet when it comes to protecting your
applications from attack, which is why we've built a comprehensive
portfolio of solutions that address each aspect of application
security risk at every stage in the development process," said
Simon King, vice president of
solutions at the Synopsys Software Integrity Group. "At the
same time, we've worked intensively to ensure that our solutions
enable organizations that are embracing automation and rapid,
iterative development approaches, with a strong emphasis on making
developers more productive. We believe Gartner's continued
recognition of Synopsys as a Leader in application security testing
validates our strategy and ability to address the evolving needs of
the market."

Over the past year, Synopsys has announced several new offerings
and enhancements to its application security testing portfolio:
- Synopsys acquired Tinfoil Security, an innovative provider of
dynamic application security testing (DAST) and application program
interface (API) security testing solutions. The Synopsys web
scanning solution is a next-generation DAST technology that
identifies vulnerabilities in web applications and is tightly
integrated with DevOps workflows. The Synopsys API Scanner detects
vulnerabilities in APIs, including web-connected devices such as
mobile backend servers, IoT devices, and any RESTful APIs.
- Synopsys released a major update to the Polaris Software
Integrity Platform™ to extend its static application security
testing (SAST) and software composition analysis (SCA) capabilities
to the developer's desktop through the native integration of the
Code Sight™ IDE plugin. These capabilities, the first of their
kind, enable developers to proactively find and fix both security
weaknesses in proprietary code and known vulnerabilities in open
source dependencies simultaneously, without leaving their
interactive development environment (IDE).
- Synopsys announced its partnership with Finastra, the
third-largest fintech company in the world with over 9,000 banking
customers, establishing an application security validation program
for FusionFabric.cloud, Finastra's open platform for developing,
deploying and consuming financial applications. The program ensures
that all applications offered via the FusionFabric.cloud
FusionStore have passed thorough vigorous security testing
assessments.
