20-year technology and cybersecurity industry veteran will drive global marketing and growth strategies for leading application security platform provider
Checkmarx, the global leader in developer-centric application security testing (AST) solutions, today announced that it has named Amit Daniel as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). Bringing deep strategic experience to the role, Daniel will lead Checkmarx global corporate marketing, branding, digital marketing and communications initiatives as the company delivers on rapidly growing customer demand for comprehensive application security solutions
“Amit’s remarkable pedigree for successfully building global brands and driving adoption of innovative technologies speaks for itself. We’re thrilled to have someone of her caliber join the Checkmarx leadership team,” said Emmanuel Benzaquen, CEO at Checkmarx. “We’ve seen unprecedented demand for our application security solutions over the past year, and Amit’s leadership will enable us to further capitalize on this opportunity, advance our leadership position and drive the next stage in Checkmarx’ international growth.”

“Checkmarx’ differentiated technology platform and its position as an application security leader allow me to develop enhanced strategies to expand and grow in the market with a continued focus on large enterprises,” said Amit Daniel, CMO at Checkmarx. “The need to shift left in the software development cycle is becoming more and more clear as the threats get more sophisticated, and I look forward to bringing my diverse experience to help further Checkmarx’ mission to push the boundaries of code scanning and set new standards for the industry.”
