Checkmarx provides enterprise application security software for organizations building modern software at scale. Its positioning centers on securing software from code to cloud through a unified platform that combines testing, posture management, monitoring, and remediation across human-written, legacy, and AI-generated code.
Checkmarx is built for teams that need stronger security without pushing AppSec outside the development workflow. Its portfolio spans code analysis, open-source and supply chain security, API and dynamic testing, container and infrastructure controls, and AI-assisted remediation. Checkmarx also supports organizations moving from fragmented point tools or legacy on-premises approaches toward a cloud-native operating model with centralized visibility, policy enforcement, and developer-aligned workflows.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Checkmarx delivers a platform-based AppSec approach that unifies code, supply chain, cloud, and posture signals into a shared operating layer for security and development teams. Its capabilities focus on earlier detection, risk correlation, contextual prioritization, and faster remediation across the application development lifecycle.
Checkmarx is designed to embed into existing engineering processes rather than require a separate security workflow. It integrates with source code repositories, IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, feedback and ticketing systems, private registries, and cloud and runtime environments. Verified integrations span tools and platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, TeamCity, Bitbucket Pipelines, AWS CodeBuild, Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams, AWS ECR, Azure Container Registry, JFrog Artifactory, GitHub Packages, and Sysdig.
Products and Services
- Checkmarx One: Unified cloud-native application security platform that brings together code, supply chain, cloud, runtime, and posture capabilities for enterprise AppSec programs.
- Checkmarx One Assist: Family of agentic AI AppSec agents that help developers and security teams prevent, detect, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities across the SDLC.
- Application Security Posture Management (ASPM): Centralized posture and risk orchestration layer that correlates findings across AppSec signals and prioritizes the issues that matter most.
- SAST: Static application security testing for finding vulnerabilities in source code early in development.
- DAST: Dynamic application security testing for identifying exploitable issues in running applications and web environments.
- API Security: API-focused testing and risk analysis to uncover vulnerabilities and strengthen API security coverage across development workflows.
- Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Open-source risk analysis for dependency vulnerabilities, license exposure, and component inventory management.
- Malicious Package Protection: Detection of malicious and suspicious open-source packages using Checkmarx intelligence across developer and supply chain workflows.
- Container Security: Container image security scanning that highlights vulnerabilities and container-specific risks with cloud and runtime context.
- IaC Security: Infrastructure-as-code scanning for security misconfigurations before cloud resources are deployed.
- Secrets Detection: Detection of exposed credentials, tokens, keys, and other sensitive secrets across repositories, history, containers, and pipelines.
- Repository Health: Continuous repository scoring for security, dependency hygiene, CI/CD practices, and project maintenance risk.
- AI Supply Chain Security: Visibility and governance for AI components such as LLMs, AI SDKs, libraries, agent frameworks, MCP servers, and datasets within the development lifecycle.
- Codebashing: Secure coding training platform that helps developers build AppSec skills and learn from real vulnerability patterns.
Target Customers
Checkmarx targets large enterprises running complex software portfolios, fast release cycles, and formal application security programs. Its primary users include AppSec leaders, product security teams, DevSecOps teams, platform engineering groups, and developers who need security guidance inside the tools they already use.
The platform is a fit for organizations standardizing on a single AppSec control plane across proprietary code, open-source dependencies, APIs, containers, infrastructure as code, and AI-assisted development. Checkmarx also addresses buyers in public sector and other tightly governed environments that need scalable policy control, deployment flexibility, and consistent visibility across distributed development teams.
