Synopsys Named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing for Third Consecutive Year

Synopsys Placed Highest for Ability to Execute and Furthest to the Right for Completeness of Vision

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."
