Snyk is proud to announce that our developer security platform has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Software Composition Analysis (SCA) Software, Q4 2024 report. In this evaluation, we were one of just three Leaders and were named a Customer Favorite.

“Forrester’s take: Snyk is a great fit for enterprises implementing development, security, and operations (DevSecOps) at scale.” 

According to the report, “Reference customers told [Forrester] that Snyk stands out for holding itself accountable for customer commitments and providing great services as well as balancing the needs of both security and development with product functionality.” Snyk attributes this feedback to its high satisfaction rate among customers and its strong adoption within the developer and security communities. 

Through independent research and evaluation, The Forrester Wave™ for SCA software uses 25 criteria and a formal process to evaluate top SCA software providers, aiming to help application security and development leaders find the right solution for their business. In the report, Snyk received the highest scores possible in criteria within the Strategy category such as:

  • Vision 

  • Innovation 

  • Support Services 

Snyk also received the highest possible scores in the following criteria within the Current Offering category:

  • Risk Intelligence

  • Remediation & Automation

  • Reporting & Analytics

  • Software Development Toolchain Integration

  • Component Health

As a pioneer in shift-left security and developer-first approach, Snyk credits this recognition to its capabilities and dedication to developer security, innovation, and customer focus. Additionally, to us, receiving the highest scores possible in both the Reporting and Analytics and Risk Intelligence criteria is a testament to the capabilities of the recently enhanced Snyk Analytics.

“Snyk’s strategy is to place the onus of secure software on the development systems and process, not the developer. This is reflected in the vision to provide autonomous remediation and a development platform to automatically distribute secure, healthy components.” 

The report also states, “Snyk’s AppRisk, its latest innovation, automatically detects and analyzes assets in code repos and cataloging controls,” which we believe highlights our commitment to developer-first application security posture management (ASPM) with Snyk AppRisk.

With innovative, developer-first product offerings and a commitment to balancing security and developer needs, we believe Snyk is ideal for enterprises looking to scale DevSecOps with a recognized leader in the AppSec industry.
