Blog post from Semgrep
Semgrep has been recognized in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing, highlighting its innovative approach to modern application security challenges and its evolution from an open-source SAST tool to a comprehensive AI-enabled AppSec platform. The company has developed solutions like Semgrep Code, Semgrep Supply Chain, and Semgrep Secrets to address common issues such as false positives and developer engagement, incorporating advanced techniques like dataflow reachability and cross-file analysis. Semgrep Assistant's AI capabilities enhance precision by analyzing context beyond rule-based analysis, significantly reducing noise and improving developer workflows. This approach has led to a 96% agreement rate in classifying security findings, with AI Triage filtering out 60% of false positives, thereby decreasing the burden on AppSec teams and reducing developer remediation time. The company anticipates that as AI continues to transform software development, security strategies will need to adapt to address vulnerabilities in both human and machine-generated code.
