Application security vendor Synopsys teams up with Spire Solutions

Spire Solutions, a value-added distributor (VAD) and preferred cybersecurity solutions provider servicing the Middle East and Africa (MEA), has announced a strategic partnership with Synopsys’ Software Integrity Group, a provider of application security, to jointly minimise business risks across the software development life cycle (SDLC).

Synopsys helps build secure, high-quality, and compliant software while maximising velocity and controlling costs. This helps organisations create trust among users and customers, integrate security without affecting development velocity and address application security holistically. The vendor has been recognised as a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing for five years running as well as a Forrester Wave Leader for Static Application Security Testing and Software Composition Analysis.

Sanjeev Walia, Founder and President, Spire Solutions, said: “Organisations are heavily dependent on software and applications to run their business. One of the fundamental challenges they face is around the complexities of managing risks associated with their software and its underlying impact on the overall business. Our partnership with Synopsys enables our customers, partners, and prospects to access Synopsys Software Integrity Group which will help secure their software supply chain, build security into DevOps and create a holistic AppSec programme.”

Tom Herrmann, Vice President, Global Channels and Alliances, Synopsys Software Integrity Group, added: “We see every business as a software business as they are either developing/selling it to customers or relying on it to run most aspects of their operations. We help companies build trust in their software to protect their bottom line and are eager to do this across the Middle East and Africa with our latest partnership with regional leader Spire Solutions. We are proud to be included as part of Spire’s portfolio of some of the world’s best known cybersecurity products.”
