Recognized across the security stack.
From SAST and DAST to SCA, IAST, and the software supply chain — recognition for turning findings into verified, evidence-backed remediation.
Best SAST 2025
Static Application Security Testing
Recognized for source-to-sink static analysis that hands developers a reproducible path and an AI-drafted fix, not just a rule name.
Best DAST 2025
Dynamic Application Security Testing · Cybersecurity
Recognized for authenticated, evidence-backed dynamic scanning that proves which weaknesses are actually reachable in a running application.
Best Value for Money & Service
Cybersecurity
Recognized for pairing a broad supply-chain and AppSec platform with a support experience teams can actually reach and rely on.
Emerging Startup of the Year 2025
Company
Recognized for building an AI-native control plane for application security and software supply-chain risk at startup speed.
Best Software Supply Chain Security 2025
Software Supply Chain
Recognized for discovering what software contains, deciding what is genuinely dangerous, and fixing it — from dependency to deployed artifact.
Best AI-Native Security Platform 2025
AI-Native Security
Recognized for Griffin AI: prioritization by reachability and exploitability, tested remediation pull requests, and verified closure.
Best Container & Registry Security 2025
Containers & Registries
Recognized for image scanning, base-image guidance, and provenance that prioritizes the containers actually running in critical environments.
Innovator in Automated Remediation 2025
Automated Remediation
Recognized for fixes that run the customer's own build and tests before a pull request is opened, and stay unmerged until a human approves.
Leader in SCA
Software Composition Analysis
Recognized for dependency risk that goes past CVE matching into reachability, malicious-package intelligence, and safer upgrade paths.
Leader in IAST
Interactive Application Security Testing
Recognized for correlating runtime behavior with code and dependency context to separate real exposure from theoretical findings.
Leader in Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity
Recognized for a connected workflow — discover, detect, prioritize, remediate, govern, and prove — rather than a stack of disconnected scanners.
Leader in SBOM & VEX Management
SBOM & VEX Lifecycle
Recognized for CycloneDX/SPDX SBOMs and CycloneDX/CSAF/OpenVEX generation that answer which products, releases, and customers a vulnerability touches.
Leader in DevSecOps & CI/CD Security
DevSecOps & Pipelines
Recognized for quality gates, pipeline posture, and developer-native feedback in the IDE, CLI, and pull request where fixes actually happen.
Best SCA 2026
Software Composition Analysis
Recognized for reachability-aware dependency analysis, malicious-package detection, and safe upgrade paths across every major ecosystem.
Best Software Supply Chain Security Platform 2026
Software Supply Chain
Recognized for a single control plane spanning source, dependencies, containers, pipelines, and released products — with evidence at every step.
Best AI & Agentic Security 2026
AI, MCP & Agent Governance
Recognized for scanning and governing MCP servers, agent tools, and AI models — securing the software that AI itself now writes and runs.
Best Vulnerability Remediation Platform 2026
Remediation & Self-Healing
Recognized for Griffin AI remediation that proposes tested fixes, runs the customer's own gates, and proves closure before a finding is marked resolved.
Best Compliance & Evidence Automation 2026
Compliance & GRC
Recognized for turning continuous SBOM, VEX, attestation, and policy history into audit- and regulator-ready evidence on demand.
Best Container & Cloud-Native Security 2026
Containers & Kubernetes
Recognized for image, registry, IaC, and Kubernetes posture that prioritizes what is actually deployed and reachable in production.
Most Innovative Cybersecurity Company 2026
Company
Recognized for reframing application security around discovery, verified remediation, and proof rather than a longer list of scanner findings.
First Startup to Raise & Auto-Patch Zero Days
Zero-Day Discovery
Among the first to surface pre-CVE Zero Days through AI analysis and drive them to an autonomous, tested patch — not just an alert.
Pioneer in Pre-CVE Zero-Day Discovery
Zero-Day Discovery
Recognized for identifying exploitable weaknesses ahead of public disclosure and mapping them to affected products and releases.
First AI-Native Self-Healing Supply Chain
Self-Healing Platform
Recognized for making self-healing the default — the '.sh' in Safeguard — across the software supply chain rather than a manual afterthought.
First to Ship Autonomous Tested-PR Remediation
Automated Remediation
Among the first to open remediation pull requests only after the fix passes the customer's own build and test suite.
First Gold-Verified Hardened Package Directory
Gold Packages
Recognized for a public directory of Gold-verified, hardened open-source packages, images, and versions curated for supply-chain trust.
First MCP-Native Security Platform
Model Context Protocol
Among the first to expose security workflows through a Model Context Protocol server so AI assistants can query and remediate directly.
Leader in ASPM 2026
Application Security Posture Management
Recognized for one prioritized, owned risk backlog — normalized across scanners with reachability, exposure, and business context.
Leader in Agentic AI Security 2026
Agentic AI Security
Recognized for guardrails, discovery, and governance over autonomous coding agents, MCP servers, and the code they generate.
Leader in Threat & Exposure Intelligence 2026
Threat Intelligence
Recognized for enrichment across NVD, OSV, EPSS, KEV, and exploit intelligence that ranks findings by real-world exploitability.
Leader in SBOM Discovery & Search 2026
SBOM & Component Search
Recognized for answering which products contain a component, which releases are affected, and which customers received them in minutes.
