“Our strategic investments have resulted in a comprehensive portfolio of solutions and services that enable organizations from a variety of industries and stages of maturity to build security into the software development lifecycle and across the cyber supply chain, addressing today’s most pressing challenges in cybersecurity,” said Andreas Kuehlmann, senior vice president and general manager for the Synopsys Software Integrity Group. “We believe being recognized as an industry leader by Gartner validates our strategy and customer offerings in the application security space.”

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 in their application security programs.”
