What is Checkmarx?

Checkmarx is an application security testing (AST) platform designed to help organizations identify and remediate security vulnerabilities in their software throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC). It offers a suite of tools, including static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), interactive application security testing (IAST), and runtime application self-protection (RASP). Checkmarx is commonly used to scan source code, binaries, and open-source components for security flaws, policy violations, and compliance issues, enabling developers to fix vulnerabilities early and build more secure applications.
