Synopsys Named a Leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing for Fifth Consecutive Year

Synopsys Placed in Highest and Furthest Overall Position for its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision Three Years in a Row

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."
