ReversingLabs Recognized in First Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Platform Engineering
11 Julio 2024 - 10:00AM
ReversingLabs (RL), the trusted name in file and software security,
today announced its recognition as a Sample Vendor in the 2024
Gartner Hype Cycle for Platform Engineering. This acknowledgment
comes as RL delivers on growing demand for its award-winning
Spectra Assure™ software supply chain security solution. Today’s
news follows RL’s July 9 announcement that it was mentioned in the
Gartner report Leader’s Guide to Software Supply Chain Security.
Gartner defines platform engineering as the discipline of
building and operating self-service internal developer platforms to
improve developer experience and scale agile and DevOps practices.
Lead report author and Gartner VP Analyst Manjunath Bhat suggests,
“Executives responsible for platform engineering initiatives should
treat this hype cycle as a reference to carve out their
organization’s strategic roadmap.”
This Hype Cycle includes several technologies that have been
rated “transformational,” including software supply chain security,
which is expected to hit mainstream adoption within the next two to
five years. According to Gartner, a transformational technology
“Enables new ways of doing business across industries that will
result in major shifts in industry dynamics.”
“As software producers work to effectively create secure
software and maintain its integrity, software supply chain security
becomes an integral component of platform engineering,” said Mario
Vuksan, CEO and Co-founder, ReversingLabs. “By making it easy for
teams to protect code from tampering, verify releases, and monitor
third-party software and updates, Spectra Assure helps enterprises
see where threats and risks are located within the software and how
those risks change over time, and discover software supply chain
attacks before release or deployment.”
“Platform engineering brings together cross-functional practices
and technologies that blend software engineering, security and
risk, as well as infrastructure and operations. Therefore, the
innovations reflect this multidisciplinary aspect,” stated Bhat in
the report and a recent LinkedIn post announcing the report.
According to Bhat, Gartner groups the innovations in this Hype
Cycle under five key themes:
- Developer enablement — This includes internal developer
portals, internal developer platforms, self-service environment
management, innersource and software engineering intelligence
platforms.
- Building applications that are secure by design — This includes
software supply chain security, curated open source software (OSS)
catalogs, secrets management and cloud-native application
protection platforms.
- Effective and efficient software delivery — This includes green
software engineering, AI-augmented software engineering, autonomous
workload optimization, site reliability engineering and chaos
engineering.
- Navigating complexity of cloud-native architectures — This
includes cloud development environments, observability, GitOps,
FinOps, microservices, cluster fleet management and service
mesh.
- Supporting team structures — This includes Team Topologies and
product-centric delivery models.
The Gartner Hype Cycle offers a comprehensive view of platform
engineering, guiding leaders in aligning their strategies with risk
appetites. It provides a graphical depiction of a common pattern
that arises with each new technology or other innovation.
