We are excited to share the much-anticipated release of the latest Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Application Security with you. As technology evolves at an unprecedented pace, ensuring the security of our digital assets has become more crucial than ever before.

What we found interesting in the 2024 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Application Security

  • How relying on developers rather than security experts to secure code and new application architectures are making existing security controls less effective.
  • The innovations maturing over the next five years are bound to reshape how businesses conduct application security programs.
  • Why app shielding is an important security measure when apps use or store sensitive data or enable payments.
  • The application shielding techniques that hinder attackers from stealing data or tampering with the app’s environment.
  • The business impact of application shielding and other application security innovations.

Promon recognized as a Sample Vendor

In the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Application Security, application shielding is defined as the technology that “serves to prevent and detect attacks such as tampering and reverse engineering. Application shielding is an in-app protection technology, meaning its capabilities are implemented directly within the application, rather than in-line or on the hosting system.” Gartner places a high emphasis on application shielding for “consumer-facing mobile applications in industry verticals such as financial services, online retail, healthcare, insurance and automotive.”

Promon is committed to providing exceptional solutions that address the evolving needs of our valued customers. We are proud to be recognized in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Application Security for the 7th time.
