The newly released report, The Forrester Wave™: Software Composition Analysis, Q2 2023 has named the Sonatype platform as a Leader among the top vendors in the market. Ranking our solution alongside 11 vendors, we're thrilled to continue to be recognized by Forrester and other independent analyst firms as we solidify our position as a leader in software composition analysis (SCA).
This Forrester Wave™ report evaluated top vendors based on 32 criteria across three key categories: Current Offering, Market Presence, and Strategy. We emerged as a leader, receiving the highest score in the current offering category, and receiving the highest possible ratings in 16 criteria. Notably, we received the highest possible scores in the vulnerability identification, software supply chain security, and policy management criteria.
The Forrester report notes:
"Sonatype's differentiated innovation strategy includes security, developers, operations, and legal personas and prevents next-generation supply chain attacks. The superior vision to provide one platform available in the cloud or self-hosted is backed by a roadmap that includes improving developer experience with enhanced prioritization and remediation capabilities as well as applying ML/AI to speed up detection, reduce remediation time, and predict new types of attacks."
Leading the way in SCA
At Sonatype, our groundbreaking software supply chain management platform contains three key components: Sonatype Repository Firewall, Sonatype Nexus Repository, and Sonatype Lifecycle. We are the market's only complete Software Supply Chain Platform that addresses more than SCA.
Approximately 90% of companies rely on open source software. There’s been a notable surge in supply chain attacks leading to high-profile security incidents over the past five years. As a result, vulnerability management has garnered significant attention from regulatory bodies, and Chief Information Security Officers. In this landscape, the inclusion of SCA in the toolkit of most software-writing or selling companies has become imperative. As the foremost provider of SCA solutions globally, we were proud to recently be recognized in the wider AST space by earning a spot in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing (AST).
