We’re thrilled to announce that Sonatype has been named in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing (AST). Gartner has identified software composition analysis (SCA) and software supply chain security, amongst other capabilities of application security testing. We’ve been recognized for our Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.
“Gartner observes that the evolution of the AST market is largely driven by the need to support enterprise DevSecOps and cloud-native application initiatives. Customers require offerings that provide high-assurance, high-value findings, while not slowing down development efforts unnecessarily. Clients expect offerings to fit into the development process at an earlier stage, with testing often driven by developers, rather than security specialists. As a result, this market evaluation focuses heavily on the buyer’s needs, including support for rapid and accurate testing of various application types and the ability to integrate into software delivery workflows with an increasing level of automation.” – Gartner
