GitLab Named a Leader in 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for DevSecOps Platforms

Enterprises face exploding codebases, fragmented toolchains, and rising risk from AI-generated code. They need a single platform that connects planning, development, security, and deployment at agentic scale.

As AI coding tools accelerate software creation, the remaining stages of the SDLC must scale at the same pace. GitLab research across more than 1,500 developers and technology leaders found that 91% of organizations run two or more AI coding tools and 73% worry about maintaining the code those tools generate. GitLab unifies the DevSecOps lifecycle into one platform, giving enterprises the governance and compliance infrastructure required for this new era.

What was announced

On June 17, 2026, GitLab announced it has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for DevSecOps Platforms. This marks the fourth consecutive year GitLab has been recognized as a Leader in this evaluation, which assessed 13 vendors in the market.

The recognition arrives as GitLab continues a rapid pace of innovation, shipping new capabilities every month for 175+ consecutive months. On June 10, 2026, GitLab hosted Transcend, a live and streaming event showcasing the next-generation capabilities of its platform purpose-built for the agentic era.

Being named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for DevSecOps Platforms for the fourth consecutive year reflects what our enterprise customers already know. Agentic engineering is accelerating every part of the software lifecycle - some of our customers codebases are growing up to five times in a single year - and enterprises need the agentic infrastructure from GitLab to move fast with enterprise control.

Why this matters

For CIOs, CISOs, IT directors, and procurement leaders, the DevSecOps platform market reflects the consolidation of development, security, infrastructure, and operations into a single delivery model. According to Gartner, organizations use DevSecOps platforms to reduce the friction and maintenance costs of custom toolchains, decrease manual handoffs, and address the lack of consistent visibility throughout the SDLC.

This consolidation enables product teams to deliver faster customer value without compromising security or quality. GitLab is trusted by more than 50 million registered users and approximately 50% of the Fortune 100, providing the scale and governance enterprises require as AI-driven development reshapes the software lifecycle.
