Overview

As development cycles accelerate and software becomes more complex, automated solutions that are purpose-built for DevOps and enable developers to quickly find and fix flaws before software is released are critical. Enter the Checkmarx Software Security Platform.

Comprising CxSAST, CxSCA, CxIAST, and CxCodebashing (AppSec awareness and training) – Checkmarx takes a unified approach to inserting automated security testing throughout all stages of DevOps. Checkmarx’s solutions integrate seamlessly with developer workflows and tools to enable them to find and remediate vulnerabilities in both custom and open source code via one platform before software is released into production. In the last 12 months alone, Checkmarx has evolved its platform significantly by:
● Unveiling new automation capabilities that simplify the implementation of AST in DevOps environments by automatically triggering SAST and SCA scans in the event of pull requests, with results embedded directly into developers’ pipelines.
● Launching a next-gen, SaaS-based SCA solution, with the true value being realized when combined with CxSAST, allowing developers to secure both custom and open source code via one unified solution.
● Announcing integrations with GitHub and GitLab to bring comprehensive, automated AST right to developers’ preferred environments.

With the Checkmarx Software Security Platform, organizations reap immense benefits with regards to reducing coding vulnerabilities, increasing developer productivity, and increasing AppSec scalability. In fact, a new ROI case study from a leading research firm found that by leveraging Checkmarx, a large European financial organization:
● Realized 393% ROI and 7 million in savings over three years;
● Saved 104,000 hours and 1.7 million Euro annually;
● Avoided an estimated 2 million Euro in banking regulatory and GDPR fines; and
● Saw an 80% decrease in necessary employee requirements for overseeing AppSec projects and integrations
