Port Swigger moves into “Challengers” Quadrant in 2014 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AST for its web security solution
Summary: In July 2014 Gartner released its annual Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing, authored by analysts Joseph Feiman and Neil MacDonald, which evaluates organizations on 'completeness of vision' and 'ability to execute'. Gartner positioned PortSwigger Web Security in the 'challengers' quadrant, and founder Dafydd Stuttard said the company had accelerated investment in Burp Suite, expanded its core team, and planned major product enhancements through 2014 and 2015.
Why it matters: Gartner's placement of a web-focused testing vendor in the challengers quadrant reflects how application security testing was being judged on vision and execution at a time when PortSwigger was putting its roadmap behind Burp Suite through 2015.
