Apiiro Named a Leader in IDC MarketScape for Application Security Posture Management 2025

NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2025 – Apiiro, the leading Agentic Application Security Platform, today announced it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Application Security Posture Management 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc #US53001925, September 2025).

“It’s a privilege to be recognized as a Leader in this IDC MarketScape report, which we believe is a testament to the immense value Apiiro’s solutions bring to AppSec and software development teams across the globe,” said Idan Plotnik, co-founder and CEO of Apiiro. “The industry is entering a new era where enterprises are rapidly adopting AI coding assistants to scale productivity, yet they are also generating 10x more security risks. We are proud to deliver a best-in-class platform that addresses these emerging risks so our customers can design, develop, and deliver secure software faster.” 

The IDC MarketScape defines application security posture management (ASPM) as a continuous, contextual, and risk-based approach to managing application-layer security across the entire software development life cycle (SDLC), from code creation through deployment and operation. The IDC MarketScape evaluated 18 vendors in the worldwide ASPM market, providing a detailed assessment of each vendor’s strengths, challenges, and approach to managing application-layer risk across the full software life cycle.

Positioned as a leader, Apiiro’s agentic AppSec platform, powered by the AutoFix Agent, is a force multiplier for AppSec and development teams to design, develop, and deliver secure software faster in the AI era. By connecting to source control and runtime systems, it generates a continuously updated inventory of applications, APIs, supply chain components, and sensitive data. At the core is Apiiro’s patented Deep Code Analysis (DCA) engine, which powers an extended software bill of materials (XBOM) enriched with technologies, frameworks, contributors, and deployment details.

“The ASPM market has become increasingly crowded as the number of vendors continues to grow. While this affirms its place as a defined category, the diversity of capabilities, origins, and design philosophies has created significant complexity for buyers,” said Katie Norton, research manager for DevSecOps and Software Supply Chain Security at IDC. “This inaugural evaluation brings clarity to that landscape, offering a side-by-side view of the platforms and their strengths and challenges to help organizations identify the solutions best aligned to their strategic priorities.”

Apiiro CEO and co-founder Idan Plotnik will join IDC research manager Katie Norton and The Defenders Initiative principal researcher Adrian Sanabria for “The evolution of AppSec for the AI era,” a live webcast on Tuesday September 30, 2025 at 2:00pm ET. Attendees will learn why AI-driven pull requests are breaking review processes, how the ASPM category is evolving toward agentic AppSec to address AI-coded risks, and practical ways to embed automation and AI-powered security agents in the pipeline to ensure resilience without slowing delivery.
