Summary

The 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing recognizes Visionary, a company that empowers developers to be key security stakeholders in the future of application security testing. The report highlights the growing importance of DevSecOps and cloud native applications, where security starts with developers. Snyk has been positioned as a leader in this space, offering products like Snyk Open Source and Snyk Code that integrate directly into existing workflows and tools to make it easy for developers to find and remediate bugs in their code and dependencies. The company's vision is reflected in its alignment with the future of application security testing, where security starts with developers, and traditional siloed security workflows are becoming antiquated. Snyk has achieved this recognition by offering a holistic approach to vulnerabilities, integrating security expertise into the development lifecycle, and providing tools that support enterprise DevOps initiatives. The company is well-positioned to build on its vision, having recently launched new products and partnerships, and now with twice as many employees as last year.
