As software development accelerates, organizations are rethinking how to secure everything from third-party code and cloud infrastructure to developer pipelines and exposed secrets. The growing adoption of AI coding assistants adds new urgency, introducing more code, faster, with less oversight. Traditional AppSec tools weren’t built for this pace or complexity. That’s why teams are turning to Application Security Posture Management (ASPM): a unified approach that connects code to cloud, helps prioritize real risk, and drives faster, more effective remediation.

We’re excited to share that Wiz has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide ASPM 2025 vendor assessment, which evaluates both vendor capabilities and strategic vision.

A big thank you to IDC and Katie Norton, Research Manager for DevSecOps and Software Supply Chain Security, for leading the way with this comprehensive assessment. The report offers timely guidance for security leaders evaluating how to replace fragmented point tools with a unified, context-rich approach to application security.

IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of technology and suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each supplier’s position within a given market. The Capabilities score measures supplier product, go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures alignment of supplier strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5-year timeframe. Supplier market share is represented by the size of the icons. 

Why ASPM matters

Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) is emerging as the connective tissue between security, DevOps, and engineering teams. As organizations modernize their development practices and accelerate cloud adoption, traditional, siloed approaches to application security can’t keep up.

ASPM solves this by bringing together context from code, cloud, and runtime to help teams identify, prioritize, and remediate risks earlier in the software development lifecycle. Instead of relying on disconnected scanners or manual processes, ASPM unifies findings into a single platform, reduces alert noise, and highlights the issues that matter most.

This convergence reflects a deeper shift: security can no longer operate in isolation. ASPM enables shared visibility, unified policies, and scalable workflows that align engineering and security teams around common goals—helping organizations deliver secure software at cloud speed.

ASPM in practice

Organizations adopting ASPM are seeing tangible outcomes. At Wiz, over half of customers now maintain zero critical issues, powered by unified code-to-cloud visibility, exposure-based prioritization, and automation. 

With AI woven into the flow, triaging findings, grounding guidance in real context, and suggesting secure fixes directly in IDEs and PRs, ASPM moves beyond finding vulnerabilities to helping teams fix what matters faster while preserving development speed.

What the IDC MarketScape highlighted about Wiz

In naming Wiz to the Leaders Category, author Katie Norton noted that: 

"Wiz is an ASPM Leader and has a clear point of view on the market's future, positioning it as a unified, cloud-aware, and remediation-driven platform that serves as the connective layer between security and engineering. Wiz has also made the developer experience a core design priority, embedding security into developer tools and workflows to minimize friction and accelerate remediation. IDE extensions, pull request scanning, WizCLI integration, MCP server support, and a unified policy engine enable earlier issue resolution without slowing delivery. 

Wiz customers I spoke with for this report have strong confidence in Wiz’s long-term ASPM vision and its ability to execute on a roadmap that emphasizes remediation, code-to-cloud correlation, and integration depth. They also highlighted the platform’s effectiveness in enabling campaign-driven remediation workflows, its ease of deployment during large-scale cloud transitions, and the strength of their relationship with Wiz."

A milestone for the market

The 2025 IDC MarketScape represents more than just a snapshot of vendor capabilities—it marks a shift in how application security is delivered.

We’re honored to be a leader  in this foundational report and excited to help shape the future of ASPM.
