Arnica Named a Representative Vendor in 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Application Security

We are excited to share that Arnica has been recognized as a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Application Security, in the category of Software Supply Chain Security.

This recognition reflects our continued focus on enabling organizations to protect their development environments with a focused AppSec platform that solves real problems for Application Security practioners, is developer-focused, and delivers impactful risk reduction.

❗ Why This Matters

Software supply chain attacks continue to rise in frequency and complexity. As engineering and security teams work to address risks in dependencies, maintain source control, and build systems, the need for practical, effective application security solutions is more critical than ever.

In this year’s Hype Cycle, Gartner placed Software Supply Chain Security in the Trough of Disillusionment. This phase signals a shift in market expectations, where organizations are no longer influenced by buzzwords and emerging hype.Instead, they demand products that are proven, easy to adopt, and focused on real results.

We believe Arnica’s inclusion at this stage validates our product’s ability to meet those expectations head-on.
