Endor Labs Named in the 2026 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Secure Software Engineering

AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor have significantly accelerated code generation and development, outpacing the capacity of traditional application security (AppSec) tools to review and secure code, which has led to the need for new security measures in software development. Endor Labs has been recognized by Gartner as a Sample Vendor in the categories of Software Supply Chain Security and Reachability Analysis in the Hype Cycle for Secure Software Engineering, 2026, highlighting a shift towards a more integrated approach to security within the software supply chain. These AI tools exacerbate existing challenges by introducing unvetted dependencies and generating a high volume of pull requests, which traditional security tools struggle to manage effectively. Endor Labs addresses these issues by providing a code context graph that helps security teams prioritize risks through reachability analysis, allowing them to focus on the vulnerabilities that are truly exploitable in their environment. This approach enables teams to dismiss the majority of noise generated by software composition analysis (SCA) tools and concentrate on fixing the most critical issues, thereby improving the efficiency of security operations and aligning with the evolving dynamics of AI-driven development.
