Nomination Highlights

As AI-generated code and autonomous development agents redefine how software is built, security must evolve from reactive scanning to embedded, agentic protection. Checkmarx is leading this shift with Checkmarx One, the only trusted application security platform that unifies continuous AppSec with an AI-powered Assist family of agents built for the Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC).

At the core of this transformation is the Checkmarx Assist family: Developer Assist, Triage Assist, and Remediation Assist; it consists of purpose-built AI agents that embed security directly into developer and DevSecOps workflows.

Developer Assist operates inside the IDE, performing real-time scans as code is written. It delivers contextual fix recommendations aligned with Checkmarx best practices and enables Safe Refactor to instantly apply secure fixes. By preventing vulnerabilities at pre-commit, Developer Assist secures both human- and AI-generated code at the creation phase, without slowing developers down.

Triage Assist functions post-commit within SCM environments, cutting through alert fatigue by correlating findings, prioritizing exploitable risk and helping teams focus on what truly matters.

Remediation Assist accelerates vulnerability resolution with guided, context-aware remediation, significantly reducing mean time to remediation across distributed engineering teams.

Together, these agents embed agentic security directly into the ADLC, thus shifting protection left while maintaining governance across the full software lifecycle.

The broader Checkmarx One platform consolidates SAST, SCA, API security, container security, IaC security, secrets detection, AI supply chain visibility and Application Security Posture Management into a unified system. This eliminates tool sprawl, enhances visibility, and enables consistent risk governance across cloud-native and AI-driven environments.

AI-driven risk prioritization surfaces the vulnerabilities that matter most, identifying exploitable paths across open-source dependencies and malicious packages. Seamless integrations across 75+ technologies, 100+ frameworks, and leading DevOps tools ensure security is embedded natively into development workflows, not as an after-thought bolted on afterward.

As organizations transition from traditional SDLC models to the Agentic Development Lifecycle, Checkmarx One, powered by Developer Assist, Triage Assist, and Remediation Assist, delivers autonomous, scalable, workflow-native security. The measurable impact includes reduced mean time to remediation, higher developer adoption, improved compliance readiness and demonstrably lower application risk exposure.

In an era where AI-generated code is expanding attack surfaces and nearly all organizations report breaches tied to vulnerable code, Checkmarx One delivers the scale, intelligence, prevention-first architecture and third-party validation enterprises require to innovate securely and confidently.
