Veracode Named a Leader in GigaOm Radar for Software Supply Chain Security
Modern software development is a balancing act. You are under constant pressure to innovate faster, ship features daily, and maintain near-perfect uptime. To meet these demands, development teams rely heavily on open-source libraries, APIs, and third-party components. It’s efficient, but it introduces a significant challenge: your attack surface is now composed of code you didn’t write.
Securing this complex web of dependencies—your software supply chain—is no longer optional. It is a critical requirement for enterprise security.
Veracode is proud to announce that we’ve been named a Leader in the GigaOm Radar Report for Software Supply Chain Security. This recognition validates our platform-centric approach to application security and underscores our commitment to helping you build software that is secure by design.
The Rising Stakes of Supply Chain Security
Software supply chain attacks have shifted the security paradigm. Attackers are no longer just looking for vulnerabilities in your custom code; they are targeting the pipelines, tools, and open-source components that build your applications. A single compromised library can cascade into a widespread breach, affecting not just your organization but your customers as well.
This reality has driven a surge in regulatory focus, such as the executive orders on cybersecurity and the increasing demand for Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs). Organizations need more than just a scanner. You need comprehensive visibility and control over every component that enters your development lifecycle.
However, many security tools struggle to keep pace. They often flood developers with false positives, lack context, or sit outside the development workflow, creating friction that slows down innovation.
Why Veracode Was Named a Leader
Our position as a Leader in the GigaOm Radar reflects our philosophy that security must be integral to the development process, not an obstacle to it. We believe that to truly secure the supply chain, you need a solution that connects the dots between code, dependencies, and deployment.
Here is a closer look at the strengths that distinguish the Veracode Continuous Software Security Platform.
1. A Unified Platform Approach
GigaOm recognizes the value of a comprehensive platform. Point solutions often create data silos, making it difficult for security leaders to get a clear picture of their risk posture. Veracode brings together Static Analysis (SAST), Dynamic Analysis (DAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), and Container Security into a single, unified view.
This convergence allows you to manage your entire application security program from one dashboard. You get consistent policy enforcement and reporting across all your applications, whether they are legacy monoliths or cloud-native microservices.
2. Seamless Integration into the SDLC
Security tools are only effective if developers use them. We engineered our platform to fit seamlessly into the tools your teams already use every day. Whether it is integrating directly into IDEs like IntelliJ and VS Code, or automating scans within Jenkins, GitHub, or Azure DevOps pipelines, Veracode meets developers where they are.
This “shift left” capability ensures that security checks happen early and often. By catching vulnerabilities during the coding phase—rather than waiting for a pre-production scan—you reduce the cost and time required to fix them.
3. Turning Insight into Action with AI
Identifying a vulnerability is only half the battle. The real challenge lies in remediation. Developers often spend hours researching how to fix a specific flaw without breaking the build.
Veracode is leading the charge in AI-driven remediation. Our solution doesn’t just flag a problem; it suggests the fix. By leveraging a vast database of secure code patterns, we provide developers with automated pull requests and remediation advice. This dramatically reduces the “fix rate” time, helping teams clear their security debt faster and focus on building new features.
4. Visibility Through SBOMs
You cannot secure what you cannot see. As regulations tighten, the ability to produce and manage an accurate SBOM is essential. Veracode provides deep visibility into your open-source dependencies, including transitive dependencies (the libraries your libraries use).
We help you identify license risks and security vulnerabilities hidden deep in your dependency tree. With our continuous monitoring, you receive alerts the moment a new vulnerability is discovered in a component you are using, allowing for immediate response.
Understanding the GigaOm Radar
The GigaOm Radar Report is one of the most respected technical assessments in the industry. Unlike traditional market quadrants that may focus heavily on market share, the GigaOm Radar evaluates vendors based on technical capabilities, product roadmap, and innovation. It looks at how well a solution meets the needs of modern enterprises today and how well-positioned it is to handle future challenges.
In this report, GigaOm analyzes the Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) landscape. They evaluate vendors on key criteria such as:
- SBOM Management: The ability to generate and manage Software Bills of Materials.
- Pipeline Security: protecting the integrity of the CI/CD pipeline itself.
- Open-Source Security: Identifying and remediating vulnerabilities in third-party libraries.
- Policy Enforcement: Automating governance across the development lifecycle.
GigaOm classifies vendors into different sectors based on their maturity and focus. Being named a Leader signifies that a vendor demonstrates a strong balance of innovation and platform maturity, offering scalable solutions that deliver high value to the enterprise.
Moving Forward with Confidence
The recognition from GigaOm is not just an award for us; it is a signal to the market that the future of application security is integrated, automated, and platform-based.
As software supply chains grow more complex, the “trust but verify” model is obsolete. You must verify continuously. You need a partner that evolves as fast as the threat landscape does.
We are committed to empowering your developers to write secure code and enabling your security teams to manage risk at the speed of business. By reducing false positives, automating remediation, and providing crystal-clear visibility, we help you turn security from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage.
Take the Next Step
Don’t let supply chain vulnerabilities be your blind spot. Equip your team with the insights and tools validated by industry experts.
