Our Mission

## Security That Moves at the Speed of AI-Assisted Development

Software is the infrastructure of modern life. It processes your paycheck, manages your medical records, controls the power grid, and connects billions of people. When software fails — or worse, when it’s exploited — the consequences are real, immediate, and sometimes irreversible.

Checkmarx was founded on a simple conviction: the teams building that software shouldn’t have to choose between moving fast and being secure, especially as frontier AI models accelerate the speed of innovation. We believe security belongs at the moment of creation, not as an afterthought bolted on at the end.

Our mission is to give every developer, every security team, and every enterprise the power to build software that is risk-free by design – at any scale, human or AI produced, across any language, throughout every stage of the new agentic software development lifecycle.

 ![About_Us_Page_Visual](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/About_Us_Page_Visual.webp)

What We Believe

## The Principles That Guide Everything We Build

Application Security has never been more critical. Frontier AI models are advancing innovation at levels few thought possible. We work tirelessly every day to bring balance back to enterprises – one that maintains today’s pace of innovation while empowering CISOs and AppSec professionals to maintain their mission.

 ![Zero Research Data](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Zero-Research-Data-1.svg)

### Research-Led Innovation

Our security research team has disclosed hundreds of vulnerabilities in production open-source packages, AI models, and cloud infrastructure. Research isn’t a marketing function at Checkmarx — it’s the engine that makes our detection the most accurate in the industry.

 ![Code File](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Code-File-1.svg)

### Developer First, Always

Security tools only work if developers actually use them. Everything we build is designed for the developer’s workflow — in the IDE, in the CI/CD pipeline, with context-rich results that show exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it. No noise. No friction.

 ![Enterprise](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Enterprise.svg)

### Enterprise-Grade Reliability

When your security program runs on Checkmarx, it runs on infrastructure that handles trillions of lines of code per year without blinking. Our customers include organizations where a missed vulnerability means regulatory fines, patient harm, or national security risk. That weight informs every architectural decision we make.

 ![Integrations](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Integrations-1.svg)

### Open Ecosystem Thinking

The best AppSec program is one that integrates everywhere your developers already work. Checkmarx has over 50 native integrations with IDEs, CI/CD platforms, ticketing systems, and SIEMs — and an open API for everything else. We play well with others, intentionally.

 ![Thumbs Up](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Thumbs-Up-1.svg)

### Radical Customer Partnership

We measure our success by our customers’ success. Every Checkmarx customer has access to a dedicated customer success engineer, a security research partner, and a platform team that treats their AppSec program as if it were our own. Churn is a lagging indicator of a product team that stopped listening.

 ![Shift Right](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Shift-Right.svg)

### Ship Fast, Ship Right

We release new capabilities every week. Major platform releases ship every quarter. This pace is only possible because of a deep engineering culture that balances velocity with quality — because a security product that ships bugs isn’t secure.

Work at Checkmarx

## Build the Tools That Protect the World

At Checkmarx, you’re not building the next photo filter or social feed. You’re writing the code that protects patient health records, safeguards financial infrastructure, and keeps national security systems from being compromised. That weight is real — and for the right people, it’s exactly the kind of challenge that makes the work meaningful.

We’re a company of deeply technical people who care about craft. Our engineering teams in the United States, India, Israel, and Portugal are working on some of the hardest problems in software security – from training ML models to detect novel vulnerability classes to building agentic AI systems that can autonomously triage and remediate security findings in real time.
