What's in it for you

Empower Your
Developers

A developer friendly experience eliminates common security tool frustrations, making developers want to participate in your application security program.

Compliance and Audit Pressure Across Every Program

FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST require end-to-end traceability and evidence. Gaps don’t just create risk — they halt deployments, delay funding, and generate findings that take months to remediate under controlled change processes.

Security Breaks at the Legacy-to-Cloud Boundary

Legacy mission systems and modern cloud services run side by side across most agencies. Without consistent coverage across both, security gaps emerge exactly where the two environments connect — and that’s where adversaries look first.

Contractor Ecosystems Make Standards Drift

Government delivery relies heavily on contractor teams with their own tools, processes, and priorities. Maintaining consistent security requirements across this fragmented ecosystem requires a platform that enforces standards regardless of who’s writing the code.

Supply Chain Risk Across Citizen-Facing Ecosystems

Citizen apps, public APIs, and vendor components add third-party risk that’s hard to track and often missed until it impacts production. A single compromised dependency in a public-facing service has consequences that extend far beyond the IT department.

Platform Capabilities

Application Security That Prioritizes What Matters

Checkmarx One ASPM closes visibility gaps, eliminates redundant triage, and enables smarter prioritization with risk orchestration for faster, more efficient remediation.

Risk Coverage

End-To-End Risk Coverage

Connect vulnerabilities from source to runtime by integrating findings from Checkmarx, third-party tools, and CNAPPs into one unified view of risk.

Legacy system coverage
Deep SAST analysis across mission-critical systems regardless of age, language, or architecture complexity
DAST for citizen-facing services
Runtime validation catches authentication, API, and session issues in public portals and government services
Integrations

Connect to Your Dev Ecosystem

Integrate with cloud tools, ticketing systems, and any IDE — bringing full ASPM context and best-fix-location guidance into existing workflows.

Checkmarx Zero

Context-Enriched Risk Scoring

Powered by Checkmarx Zero, blend exploitability, reachability, fixability, and runtime exposure into one aggregated risk score so you can prioritize and act based on real business risk.
