MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
June 1, 2021 /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 fifth
consecutive year.1 In the report,
Gartner evaluated 14 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 third 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 into 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 (SDLC)."
"The complexity and pace of modern software development demands
a shift in application security, from tooling and automation to a
shared responsibility model between developers, DevOps, and
security teams," said Jason Schmitt,
general manager of the Synopsys Software Integrity Group. "We
have addressed these changes head-on, most recently with the
introduction of our Intelligent Orchestration solution, and by
making our solutions faster, more developer-friendly, and easier to
integrate into the DevOps toolchain. 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."

appropriate security tests using Synopsys and third-party tools,
based on pre-defined risk policies and changes made to an
application.
- Synopsys announced the expansion of the Software Integrity
Group's channel partner program under the leadership of
