Synopsys stands head and shoulders above the competition in Gartner's application security testing rankings, with Snyk rising and HCL Software falling from the leaders category. Longtime app security players Veracode, Checkmarx and OpenText joined Synopsys and Snyk atop the Gartner Magic Quadrant.
The "shift left" movement puts "unrealistic" expectations on developers, said Gayatri Prakash, vice president and general manager of compliance at CloudBees. She said installing new tools to manage various parts of the SDLC is not necessarily "going to solve our problem for security."
Organizations have long been using software from open-source ecosystems without fully realizing how much software they actually pull from these libraries, but the potential downstream effects of security flaws could have a major impact, said Pete Morgan, co-founder and CSO at Phylum.
Developers want to move quickly and they want security to be "a natural part" in every step of the software development life cycle. Generative AI can play a pervasive role in helping cybersecurity keep up the pace, according to Brian Roche, chief product officer at Veracode.
In today's development environment, securing web applications is crucial. Traditional application security testing techniques like DAST can be inaccurate and generate many false positives. Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) offers a more advanced and accurate approach to testing application...
Snyk has executed its third round of layoffs since June 2022, axing 128 workers amid projections of challenging market conditions persisting into early 2024. The Boston-based application security vendor revealed Thursday plans to reduce its more than 1,200-person staff by an estimated 11%.

To detect potentially exploitable security vulnerabilities, organizations that create software tend to use solutions such as static, dynamic, and interactive application security testing (AST), to scan their source code.
While such solutions are effective at what they are designed for (scanning proprietary code),...
As the pace of software development increases along with cloud migration to support it, organizations must take a new approach to security. DevSecOps—integrating security processes into the DevOps pipeline—can help organizations rapidly deliver secure and compliant application changes while running operations...
