Checkmarx, a global leader in application security testing solutions, today announced that it has been named a Leader in IDC MarketScape for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) 2025 Vendor Assessment.
Checkmarx, which was evaluated with 18 other vendors in the space, is acknowledged as a “strong fit for organizations seeking an ASPM solution that is tightly integrated into a developer-focused AppSec platform, backed by ongoing investment in AI, and well-suited to deliver strong ROI for platform buyers.”
The IDC MarketScape report notes, “AI is a strategic priority for Checkmarx, with capabilities embedded across the platform to enhance risk analysis, accelerate remediation, and reduce manual effort. Features include in-IDE secure coding assistance, AI-generated fix recommendations, and enriched risk scoring based on exploitability, business impact, and other contextual factors. The expansion of the Checkmarx One Assist agent family reflects ongoing investment in automation and intelligence across core AppSec functions.”
The report also notes that, “By embedding ASPM directly into the IDE, the platform provides real-time visibility into application risk during code development. Developers can view exploitable vulnerabilities and a filtered list of the top 50 critical issues without leaving their workflow, reducing context switching and improving productivity. Integration with risk management APIs aligns remediation with business priorities, while access to up-to-date scan data ensures accuracy. This approach keeps developers and AppSec teams aligned without introducing unnecessary friction.”
“We’re honored to be recognized by the IDC MarketScape as a Leader in ASPM. We believe this acknowledgment reflects our commitment to building the most developer-focused AppSec platform in the industry, where AI innovation plays a central role,” said Jonathan Rende, chief product officer for Checkmarx. “With Checkmarx One, we’re helping organizations address risk earlier in the development process and realize stronger ROI from their AppSec programs.”
Since its release in December 2021, the Checkmarx One platform has achieved rapid adoption, now scanning more than 800 billion lines of code monthly for more than 850 enterprise customers and tens of thousands of developers who employ the technology to secure their organizations daily.
In addition to ASPM, the platform offers a comprehensive set of features to address application across the full software development lifecycle including Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Malicious Package Detection, Infrastructure as Code (IAC) Security, and Container Security. The company recently launched its Developer Assist AI agent for autonomous remediation embedded within the coding process. Developers can access Developer Assist from within popular Integrated Development Environments (IDE) including Windsurf by Cognition, Cursor, and Copilot, with more on the way.
