In its latest Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing (AST) report, Gartner has recognised CyberRes’ – a Micro Focus line of business – Fortify portfolio as a ‘Leader’ in the space.
According to the global research and analyst firm, the company’s inclusion in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AST further cements Micro Focus’ position as a global leader for cyber resilience by highlighting the vast improvement and innovation with the DAST solution, along with expanded capabilities in AST for cloud-native applications, APIs and infrastructure-as-code (IaC).
Micro Focus included several AST products and services within the CyberRes Fortify portfolio: Static Code Analyzer (SAST), WebInspect (DAST), Software Security Center, Fortify on Demand (SaaS) and Fortify Software Composition Analysis (SCA).
Furthermore, Gartner also noted that Fortify as well as the entire CyberRes portfolio “continues to innovate and adapt to the ever-changing market needs to help build secure software fast.”
CyberRes head of Fortify product management Dylan Thomas highlighted that as organisations continue to face the evolving threats against the software that powers their businesses, the security of the custom code they develop and the overall software supply chain is paramount.
“Fortify enables these teams to answer this call with a comprehensive DevSecOps solution that empowers developers, DevOps and security teams with delivering secure apps in an ‘everything-as-code’ era,” he explained.
“We believe the continued recognition of Micro Focus as a Leader for its Fortify product line for application security testing validates the trust our users place in our solutions.”
Speaking on the company’s commitment to supporting organisations’ security strategies, Ibrahim Azab, Regional Sales Director – MEA, CyberRes – a Micro Focus line of business, reiterated that the company brings the expertise of its vast security portfolio to help customers navigate the changing threat landscape.
“We do this by building both cyber and business resiliency within their teams and organisations. We are here to help enterprises accelerate trust, reliability, and survivability through times of adversity, crisis, and business volatility,” he explained.
Organisations today rely on applications to ensure effective and efficient operations of all aspects of the business. However, applications are often available over various networks and connected to the cloud, making them vulnerable to security risks and threats. AST is vital to detect flaws in an app’s source code to find potential sources of vulnerabilities.
Fortify delivers software resilience for modern development with a holistic, inclusive, and extensible application security platform from a trusted partner that supports today’s enterprises. This comprehensive suite of products brings holistic security and visibility to developers, AppSec professionals and key stakeholders with automated integrations for any tool, anywhere in the SDLC and a robust set of capabilities available on-premises, SaaS and as-a-service.
“Our mission and passion is to help our customers become more resilient so they can grow their business. As a company, we are excited about the continued evolution of our Fortify portfolio with the recent DAST solution innovation and the additional new capabilities as we continue to adapt to the ever-changing threat landscape and stay ahead of the application security testing market,” said Azab.
