AZ enters ASEAN distribution agreement with Synopsys
Singapore-based AZ Asia-Pacific has entered into a distribution agreement with Synopsys, Inc. to offer the Synopsys Software Integrity Group's award-winning portfolio of application security testing solutions throughout ASEAN, namely the Singaporean, Malaysian and Philippines markets.
Synopsys helps development teams build secure, high-quality software, minimizing risks while maximizing speed and productivity. A recognized leader in application security as well as silicon chip design technology, Synopsys provides static analysis, software composition analysis, and dynamic analysis solutions that enable organizations to quickly find and fix vulnerabilities and defects in proprietary code, open-source components and application behaviour.
Synopsys is a six-time Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing, a three-time Leader in the Forrester Wave for Software Composition Analysis, and a two-time Leader in the Forrester Wave for Static Application Security Testing.
According to IDC findings, adoption of digital tools and modernization of business applications and distributed infrastructure have been the hallmarks of the digital-first era, which also significantly increases the attack surfaces for cyber threats.
