About
Checkmarx One is a market-leading, unified Agentic AppSec platform built for enterprise software teams that need end-to-end application security from code to cloud. The platform consolidates Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), API Security scanning, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) security, container security, and Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) into a single, cohesive solution. At its core, Checkmarx One leverages agentic AI to prevent and remediate security risks autonomously, reducing manual workload for both developers and AppSec teams. The Developer Assist agent integrates directly into the IDE, offering real-time vulnerability prevention and instant fix suggestions without disrupting developer workflows. The platform's AI Supply Chain Security module discovers, assesses, and governs AI components—including LLMs, agent frameworks, MCP servers, and datasets—across the software supply chain. Checkmarx also provides Malicious Package Protection using the industry's largest database of malicious open-source packages, along with Repository Health monitoring and full Software Supply Chain Security. Its ASPM layer delivers unified visibility, control, and prioritization across the entire AppSec posture. Checkmarx is recognized in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing, IDC MarketScape for ASPM 2025, and the Forrester SAST Wave 2025. It is purpose-built for enterprise organizations, security-conscious development teams, and public sector customers seeking mature, scalable AppSec programs.
Key Features
- Agentic AI Vulnerability Remediation: AI-powered agents autonomously triage and remediate security findings in real time, accelerating fix cycles without requiring constant developer intervention.
- Unified SAST, SCA, DAST & API Security: Combines static, dynamic, open-source, and API security testing into one platform, eliminating tool sprawl and providing correlated risk insights.
- Application Security Posture Management (ASPM): Delivers unified visibility, prioritization, and control across the entire AppSec posture, helping teams focus on the risks that matter most.
- AI & Software Supply Chain Security: Discovers and governs AI components—LLMs, MCP servers, agent frameworks, and datasets—alongside traditional open-source packages and malicious code detection.
- IDE-Native Developer Assist: Embeds directly into developer IDEs to provide instant vulnerability detection and one-click fix suggestions at the point of code creation.
Use Cases
- Enterprise DevSecOps teams embedding automated security scanning into CI/CD pipelines to catch vulnerabilities before code reaches production.
- Security engineers consolidating multiple AppSec tools (SAST, SCA, DAST, ASPM) into a single unified platform to reduce tool sprawl and improve risk correlation.
- Developers using the IDE-native Developer Assist agent to receive instant vulnerability detection and fix recommendations without leaving their coding environment.
- Organizations governing AI/ML software supply chains by discovering and assessing LLMs, agentic frameworks, and MCP servers for security and compliance risks.
- Public sector and regulated-industry teams meeting strict compliance requirements through advanced application security testing and posture management.
Pros
- Comprehensive, Unified Platform: Consolidates SAST, SCA, DAST, API security, IaC, container security, and ASPM into a single solution, reducing tool fatigue and improving cross-signal correlation.
- Industry Recognition & Scale: Named in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AST and the Forrester SAST Wave; scans over 800 billion lines of code monthly, reflecting proven enterprise reliability.
- Developer-First Experience: IDE integration and AI-generated fix suggestions keep security embedded in the developer workflow rather than treated as a downstream gate.
- AI Supply Chain Coverage: Uniquely extends security governance to AI/ML components and agentic frameworks, addressing modern software supply chain risks beyond traditional open source.
Cons
- Enterprise Pricing Complexity: Pricing is not publicly listed and requires a sales demo, making it less accessible for small teams or startups evaluating cost upfront.
- Steep Onboarding Curve: The breadth of the platform—spanning SAST, SCA, DAST, ASPM, and supply chain—can require significant configuration and maturity to fully operationalize.
- Primarily Enterprise-Focused: Feature depth and packaging are optimized for large organizations; smaller development teams may find the offering over-engineered for their needs.
