In 3 bullets, summarize why this company is different from the competition and deserves recognition:

● Notable Milestones & Growth: Earlier this year, Checkmarx was acquired by Hellman and Friedman for $1.15B, representing the largest acquisition of an application security company to date. Additionally, over the span of 2020, Checkmarx achieved a trifecta of accolades from Gartner, being named a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for AST for the third consecutive year, earning the highest score for the DevOps/DevSecOps use case in the Critical Capabilities for AST report, and being named a Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for AST for the second straight year.
● Superb Customer Satisfaction: The Checkmarx Software Security Platform is highly rated in the industry and amongst customers, so much so that Checkmarx has been named a Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Application Security Testing for two consecutive years (2020, 2019). Customer feedback includes:
○ “Checkmarx is the best static scanning tool I’ve used during my 6 years as a software security analyst who specializes in dynamic and static application scans. It gets the job done.” Security and Risk Management, Healthcare Industry
● Elite Research Team: Checkmarx maintains a team recognized for conducting sophisticated security research that not only sets it apart from competitors, but also contributes to safer software security practices amongst organizations worldwide . In the past year, Checkmarx researchers found flaws in SoundCloud, smart vacuums, Meetup.com, Drupal, Apache Unomi, and most notably, Android smartphones. In each case, the research team worked closely with vendors to help them understand and remediate these flaws, ensuring the issues were completely fixed before publicly disclosing. With head of security research Erez Yalon also serving as a co-lead in the development of the OWASP API Security Top Ten list, Checkmarx’s unique contributions to software security go well beyond delivering a top-class automated scanning solution.
