Gaps don’t just create risk — they halt deployments, delay funding, and generate findings that take months to remediate under controlled change processes. ![Warn](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Warn-1.svg) ### Security Breaks at the Legacy-to-Cloud Boundary Legacy mission systems and modern cloud services run side by side across most agencies. Without consistent coverage across both, security gaps emerge exactly where the two environments connect — and that’s where adversaries look first. ![Data-Flow-03-V1-1](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Data-Flow-03-V1-1.svg) ### Contractor Ecosystems Make Standards Drift Government delivery relies heavily on contractor teams with their own tools, processes, and priorities. Maintaining consistent security requirements across this fragmented ecosystem requires a platform that enforces standards regardless of who’s writing the code. ![Supply Chain](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Supply-Chain-1.svg) ### Supply Chain Risk Across Citizen-Facing Ecosystems Citizen apps, public APIs, and vendor components add third-party risk that’s hard to track and often missed until it impacts production. A single compromised dependency in a public-facing service has consequences that extend far beyond the IT department. Platform Capabilities ## Application Security That Prioritizes What Matters Checkmarx One ASPM closes visibility gaps, eliminates redundant triage, and enables smarter prioritization with risk orchestration for faster, more efficient remediation. 01 End-To-End Risk Coverage All scanners, one unified view 02 Connect to Your Dev Ecosystem IDEs, CI/CD, ticketing & more 03 Context-Enriched Risk Scoring Exploitability, reachability, exposure Risk Coverage ### End-To-End Risk Coverage Connect vulnerabilities from source to runtime by integrating findings from Checkmarx, third-party tools, and CNAPPs into one unified view of risk. ⛊Legacy system coverage Deep SAST analysis across mission-critical systems regardless of age, language, or architecture complexity ⛊DAST for citizen-facing services Runtime validation catches authentication, API, and session issues in public portals and government services Integrations ### Connect to Your Dev Ecosystem Integrate with cloud tools, ticketing systems, and any IDE — bringing full ASPM context and best-fix-location guidance into existing workflows. Checkmarx Zero ### Context-Enriched Risk Scoring Powered by Checkmarx Zero, blend exploitability, reachability, fixability, and runtime exposure into one aggregated risk score so you can prioritize and act based on real business risk.

Checkmarx centralizes posture reporting, evidence, and consistent policy enforcement across internal teams and contractors – helping agencies maintain accountability across fragmented delivery environments. A single platform enforces the same security standards regardless of which contractor is writing the code, making it possible to demonstrate compliance across the entire program delivery chain. Can Checkmarx secure both legacy systems and modern public services? Yes. Checkmarx provides SAST, SCA, DAST, and API Security coverage across long-lived mission systems and newer citizen-facing services — so agencies can modernize without losing control. Coverage is consistent whether the application is a decades-old mainframe system or a newly deployed cloud-native citizen portal. How does Checkmarx support audit and compliance needs? Checkmarx helps teams preserve evidence, traceability, and posture reporting across programs so audit preparation does not depend on manual collection or inconsistent process. ASPM maintains a continuous, automated record of what was scanned, what was found, and how findings were resolved — giving agencies the documentation chain that FedRAMP, FISMA, and NIST reviews require. What helps reduce mission-impacting delays? Early detection, consistent policy enforcement, and predictable remediation workflows help teams reduce late surprises that can delay fixed timelines tied to funding or public service requirements. Catching vulnerabilities before they enter formal change control — rather than after — eliminates the most costly kind of rework in government delivery environments.
