OpenText is a leader in the Gartner MQ for the 11 time.

Too many findings, not enough time. OpenText Application Security (Fortify) helps teams cut exploitable risk without slowing releases—recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Application Security Testing for the 11th year in a row. 

The problem you’re living with 

Alert fatigue. Tool sprawl. Release pressure that doesn’t wait for triage. Risk piles up while teams race to ship. You need one place to see what matters, fix it fast, and keep the pipeline moving. 

Why this MQ matters in 2025 

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing 2025 gives leaders and practitioners a clear read on vendors that deliver both assurance and velocity. OpenText is named a Leader again—signal that the platform reduces risk at scale and fits the way modern teams build. 

What’s unified in OpenText Application Security 

One platform. One policy model. Built for enterprise scale. 

  • Core testing in one place: static (SAST), dynamic (DAST), interactive (IAST), open source/SBOM (SCA), API security testing, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC)..   
  • Central management: a single dashboard to see findings across apps, teams, and environments.   
  • Flexible deployment: SaaS, self-managed, hybrid, and high-security options including FedRAMP and Iron Bank. 

Less noise, faster fixes 

Finding more issues isn’t the goal. Fixing the right ones is. 

  • ASPM that cuts noise: correlates duplicates, ranks real risk, and routes the next step to the right owner.   
  • Covers GenAI threats: detects risks such as prompt injection, model abuse, and unsafe defaults in AI-augmented apps. 

Built for how your teams ship 

Security should travel with the code, not block it. 

  • Native DevOps fit: trigger scans in CI/CD, enforce policy gates, and pass/fail builds by risk.   
  • Developer-first workflow: run scans from IDEs and repos; get actionable guidance in the tools you already use.   
  • Shift-left coverage: source, open source, and IaC early—without derailing sprints.   
  • Governance that sticks: policy-driven controls and dashboards align AppSec work to business risk and compliance. 

Proof that scales 

  • 11 years of recognition: OpenText is a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AST—eleven years running.   
  • Broad coverage: 33+ languages, support for 1M+ APIs, and 1,700+ vulnerability categories across web, mobile, API-first, cloud-native, and legacy apps.   
  • Accuracy you can trust: industry-leading signal-to-noise, including a 100% true positive rate in the OWASP Benchmark.   
  • Global adoption: 3,500+ organizations in 78 countries, including major banks, government agencies, and technology firms.   
  • Choice of environments: SaaS, on-prem, hybrid, and hardened deployments for regulated sectors. 

What this means for you (and your CISO) 

  • For practitioners: fewer false positives, faster triage, and fixes that drop straight into the backlog.   
  • For CISOs: measurable risk reduction without dragging release cadence; consolidation that simplifies audits and spend.
