Checkmarx

Checkmarx provides application security testing spanning static analysis, software composition analysis, infrastructure as code and API security. It is one of the established enterprise names in this field and sells primarily to organisations with a dedicated application security function.

Breadth is the position rather than any single capability. A large organisation running four separate security tools has four sets of findings in four formats with four sets of false positives, and nobody able to say whether a given application is acceptable overall, which is the question an executive actually asks.

Consolidating those into one view is worth real money to a security team even where individual scanners are no better than specialised alternatives. Correlating a code vulnerability with a vulnerable dependency reaching the same function tells you which findings genuinely matter, which no single scanner can determine alone.

False positive rates are the metric that decides whether any tool in this category survives contact with developers. A scanner reporting problems that are not real trains engineers to ignore it within weeks, and once that habit forms the genuine findings are ignored alongside the noise, so accuracy matters more than coverage.

No pricing is published, which is standard at this end of the market where deployments are scoped by application count, scan volume and the modules taken.
