RapidFort has been recognized in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Software Supply Chain Security, a report that evaluates 18 vendors based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision. The report highlights vendors that deliver third-party software risk protection, software bill of materials (SBOM) life cycle management, continuous threat intelligence, third-party reputation analysis, and other additional features. According to Gartner, "Software supply chain security has grown from a niche concern into a top enterprise priority, supported by a rapidly maturing market." The firm estimates that SSCS market revenue exceeded $2.8 billion in 2025, up from $2.5 billion in 2024 and $2.2 billion in 2023, with a forecast to exceed $5 billion in revenue by 2030.
For its report, Gartner considered SSCS products or services that deliver "software composition analysis, third-party software governance, software bill of materials life cycle management, continuous threat intelligence, third-party reputation analysis, and all other additional features." RapidFort's inclusion reflects its comprehensive approach to software supply chain security, which includes protection from third-party AI components, including large language models (LLMs) and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, in addition to the mandatory features required for the market.
“We believe Gartner has specific requirements for the select vendors included in the SSCS Magic Quadrant, and we are pleased to be recognized as delivering the mandatory features for this market, including additional features such as protection from third-party AI components, including large language models (LLMs) and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers,” said Michael Wood, CMO with RapidFort. “RapidFort is differentiated in the industry with the largest and most comprehensive catalogue of curated genuinely open-source software, and we see customers select RapidFort because of our end-to-end continuous threat elimination platform.”
According to Gartner, "SSCS products have recently evolved in five ways, including OS image security, curated registries and rebuild factories are growing, as vendors seek to harden the upstream supply and offer pre-vetted components." RapidFort's platform aligns with this evolution, combining curated near-zero CVE container images, runtime profiling, and attack surface management to remove up to 99.9% of vulnerabilities within hours and reduce the attack surface by up to 90% without code changes.
