GitLab is named a Challenger in The Forrester Waveâ¢: Software Composition Analysis, Q2 2019

GitLab, traditionally known for its DevOps capabilities, is expanding its presence in application security by integrating security testing into its Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, making it a notable challenger in the field. Despite being a newer entrant in security, GitLab's comprehensive platform covers the entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and offers features such as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), and Dependency Scanning, enabling enterprises to streamline their security processes efficiently. GitLab's approach, focusing equally on developers and security professionals, aligns with market demands for remediation, policy management, and reporting, as highlighted by Forrester's analysis. The company is committed to iterative improvements, releasing new features monthly, and has already addressed several gaps identified in analyst evaluations. GitLab's single-application model allows for seamless integration of security testing, offering enterprises a cost-effective, efficient solution for compliance and risk reduction, as demonstrated by customer success stories like that of Glympse Inc.
