Lineaje Recognized as a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Software Supply Chain Security

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lineaje, the pioneer in full-lifecycle software supply chain security, today announced its positioning as a Visionary in the inaugural 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Software Supply Chain Security. The report evaluated vendors based on their Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. As software development rapidly shifts toward AI-assisted and agentic engineering, Lineaje believes this recognition validates its commitment to continuously securing the future of software and AI ecosystems.

“Frontier AI is altering the velocity and nature of software risk,” said Javed Hasan, CEO and co-founder of Lineaje. “Code is being generated faster than organizations can establish its origin, validate its security or govern the autonomous agents creating it. Agentic AI is introducing new exposures and threats that existing security tools cannot manage. To keep pace, enterprises must transition to continuous, automated security that eliminates vulnerabilities and ensures AI agents are born secure and run secure. We believe this Gartner recognition validates our platform for securing the modern software and AI ecosystem at scale.”

Organizations need continuous and autonomous control over the software and AI they source, build, and deploy—from trusted open source and autonomous vulnerability elimination to AI security, compliance and continuous xBOM-driven compliance.

Lineaje delivers an integrated portfolio that continuously and autonomously assesses software and AI trust, remediates risks and threats, and manages compliance at enterprise scale:

• Source Safe with Gold Open Source™: Trusted Gold Open Source packages, patches, and container images that eliminate sourced vulnerabilities and embedded code threats before software reaches production.
• Autonomous Fix with SBOM360: Lineaje SBOM360 leverages agentic AI to autonomously find and fix vulnerabilities in source code and containers, accelerating secure software delivery without disrupting developer workflows.
• Control AI with UnifAI™: UnifAI discovers AI assets, secures agentic AI applications, derives and enforces policies, protects sensitive data, manages AI identity and access, and defends against emerging AI threats with governance and runtime protection across the AI lifecycle.
• Comply Globally with xBOM Manager™: xBOM Manager provides enterprise-scale management of SBOMs, AIBOMs, CBOMs, FBOMs, and cryptographic assets, while supporting global regulatory requirements and continuous software supply chain compliance.

Expanding Analyst Momentum Across Gartner Research

Beyond its placement in the Magic Quadrant, Lineaje has been cited for its technology architecture across five complementary 2026 Gartner research reports and Hype Cycle reports. To us, this cross-category recognition underscores Lineaje’s role across the software engineering workflows where AI, open source, remediation, and governance now converge.

Lineaje has been recognized by Gartner as a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Software Supply Chain Security and has been referenced across multiple Gartner research publications, including:

• Hype Cycle™ for Secure Software Engineering, 2026
• Hype Cycle™ for Platform Engineering, 2026
• Scale Application Security With AI-Augmented Vulnerability Remediation
• Software Engineering AI Briefing: Claude Code Everywhere and AI Costs Bite
• The Software Supply Chain Security Playbook

In the 2026 Hype Cycle for Secure Software Engineering, as per our understanding, Gartner notes an industry-wide transition toward workflow-native security functions embedded directly within the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Lineaje’s inclusion validates its capacity to replace legacy, siloed application security testing (AST) tools with a unified governance layer whilst improving the developer experience and ensuring resilient software delivery at the pace of AI engineering.

About the Gartner Magic Quadrant

This marks the inaugural publication of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Software Supply Chain Security, succeeding the firm’s prior Market Guide for this category. The transition, in our opinion, reflects the rapidly maturing market demand for dedicated supply chain governance. Within the report, Gartner evaluates technology providers based on completeness of vision and ability to execute, categorizing included vendor participants as Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries, or Niche Players.
