Overview

What is Checkmarx?

Checkmarx is an enterprise application security platform for teams that need SAST, SCA, secrets, infrastructure as code scanning, API security, ASPM, and AI-guided remediation across code-to-cloud workflows. Checkmarx One focuses on consolidating AppSec testing and prioritization as AI-generated and agentic development increase risk. Its strength is broad enterprise governance for mature security programs inside repository pipelines and governed security review workflows for large teams.

It fits larger organizations that need centralized AppSec coverage, integrations, compliance support, and developer guidance across many teams. Buyers should expect sales-led pricing, implementation planning, and tuning to reduce noisy findings. Checkmarx may be too heavy for small teams, but it is relevant when security leaders need one governed platform instead of several point tools across repositories, pipelines, and security review workflows at scale.
