In the 2023 Gartner® Magic QuadrantTM for Application Security Testing, Synopsys placed highest and furthest right for the fifth consecutive year for our Ability to Execute and our Completeness of Vision.

The landscape of application development is constantly evolving, driven by technological advancements and changing user demands. Over the past few years, we have witnessed the rise of generative AI, the “shift left” approach, and the increasing prominence of low-code/no-code development.

We’re thrilled to announce that Snyk has been named a Leader in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing! Snyk was named in the Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing (AST), for the first time, as a Visionary in 2021. And today, we’re excited and honored to announce that Gartner has recognized us in the Leaders Quadrant in the 2023 Magic Quadrant report.

Ten represents the completion of a cycle and the beginning of a new one, as there are ten digits in our base-10 number system. We've scanned nearly 140 trillion lines of code, so we can’t help but pick up on the one and the zero in our exciting announcement. It's the tenth publication of the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Application Security Testing (AST), and we are pleased to announce we are a Leader for the tenth consecutive time.

DevSecOps is all about better integrating security into the software development life cycle (SDLC). When combined with the desire to automate repetitive tasks, the inevitable conclusion is to put any repeatable testing tool into your app’s build pipeline. For any tooling that involves code analysis, it makes sense to sync up with existing testing workflows. That’s where CI comes in.

Functional testing is a critical aspect of application development, and it plays an essential role in products being built within the Java ecosystem to ensure they meet their functional requirements and work as intended for the end user. As this method of testing is heavily based on validating “functionality” (i.e., “Does this application work the way we intend it to work?”), it is essential to utilize it throughout the development process.

We have found a new vulnerability in MySQL Connector/J (CVE-2023-21971). Oracle issued a critical path update that fixed the issue on April 18, 2023. The vulnerability was found as part of our collaboration with Google’s OSS-Fuzz.
