Our Mission

Security that moves at the speed of 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. 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 trustworthy by design — at any scale, across any language, throughout every stage of the software development lifecycle.

What We Believe

The principles that guide everything we build

Security doesn’t have to be the thing that slows teams down. We hold ourselves to a set of beliefs that shape our product, our culture, and our relationships with customers.

Zero Research Data

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Global Presence

Local expertise,
global scale

Checkmarx serves customers in over 70 countries from offices spanning four continents. Our teams bring regional expertise, local language support, and proximity to the regulations and compliance frameworks that matter in each market — from GDPR in Europe to FedRAMP in the U.S. federal government.

Our largest engineering organization is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel — home to one of the world’s most concentrated ecosystems of cybersecurity talent and where Checkmarx was born nearly two decades ago.
