Veracode named a Leader, CrowdStrike a Major Player in 2025 IDC MarketScape for ASPM

In today's complex IT landscape, modern application development—driven by cloud adoption, microservices, and AI—has dramatically expanded the attack surface. Security teams are often overwhelmed by an unprecedented volume of vulnerabilities, leading to "alert fatigue" and making it impossible to identify which issues pose a genuine risk.

Why traditional prioritization is failing

Traditional methods for prioritizing vulnerabilities, such as relying solely on CVSS scores, are no longer effective. They lack the business context and runtime visibility to pinpoint which flaws are truly exploitable and urgent. This disconnect between development and security creates data silos, slows remediation, and leaves organizations exposed.

Leaders and Major Players: Veracode and CrowdStrike

In the new IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Application Security Posture Management 2025 Vendor Assessment, Veracode was positioned in the Leaders category. The report also recognized other key vendors, including CrowdStrike, as Major Players.

This recognition underscores the importance of a robust strategy for managing application risk in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.

"The ASPM market has become increasingly crowded... 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."

Key strengths of the Leader (Veracode)

The IDC MarketScape report highlights several key strengths of Veracode's solution, Veracode Risk Manager (VRM) :

• Risk reduction optimized for efficiency: The platform focuses on "Best Next Actions," providing contextual recommendations designed to reduce the most risk with the least amount of effort.
• Open ingestion strategy: Veracode's model allows organizations to consolidate risk data from both native Veracode scans and a wide range of third-party tools, avoiding vendor lock-in.
• Repo-to-runtime traceability: The solution offers interactive dashboards that map findings back to source repositories and pipelines, helping teams identify which components contribute most to production risk.
