Ounce Labs in Leaders Quadrant for Gartner SAST

Ounce Labs, is positioned in the leaders quadrant in the first Gartner Magic Quadrant for Static Application Security Testing.(1) In addition to this recognition, Ounce Labs was recently named a "Champion" in the Application Security Market Update from Bloor Research and also received a fourth patent in source code analysis and security, validating the company's continuing commitment to product innovation.

"In my opinion, Gartner's assessment of the static analysis space will prove to be a valuable tool to organizations that are just embarking on their own software security strategy," said Mark Merkow, Director, IT Security Architecture for a leading American credit card issuer and an Ounce Labs customer. "This appears to me to further validate the application security landscape, and its viable players, and should help businesses accelerate their product adoption. Especially now, when many organizations outsource development, use existing open source code or their own internal development staff, none of us can be too careful when securing our organizational assets."

According to Gartner, "SAST for security vulnerabilities should be a mandatory requirement for all IT organizations that develop or procure applications. Although the market is relatively new and consolidating, enterprises must adopt SAST technologies and processes because the need is strategic."
