FAQ

What other solutions does Checkmarx have in addition to SAST?

  • Checkmarx’ SAST tool is part of the Checkmarx One platform. This allows a complete enterprise application security program to run on a single platform, reducing total cost of ownership and allowing for correlation and better actionable insights.
    The Checkmarx One platform includes:
    •SAST
    •DAST
    •SCA
    •SCS
    •API Security
    •IaC Security
    •Container Security

What languages does Checkmarx SAST support?

Checkmarx SAST covers an extensive range of languages and frameworks, including emerging and extended languages other tools can’t scan. The full list is available in our documentation

Where can I learn more and explore documentation?

You can explore all Checkmarx’ documentation on the documentation page.

How does CxSAST differ from SAST on Checkmarx One?

CxSAST is on-premises, while Checkmarx One is our enterprise cloud-native platform.

Both CxSAST and SAST on Checkmarx One use the same SAST engine. You can also learn more about moving from on-prem to the cloud in this solution brief.

How is a SAST scan different from a DAST scan?

A SAST scan reviews source code, looking for security vulnerabilities in static code. It doesn’t require the application to be running. In contrast, a dynamic application security testing (DAST) scan evaluates a running application, testing how it behaves in real-time by simulating attacks. While SAST finds issues in the code, DAST focuses on identifying runtime vulnerabilities like authentication or input validation problems.

How can Professional Services help me with my SAST solution?

Professional Services help accelerate value. This starts with our Checkmarx Assess (APMA) framework, which provides actionable steps to improve your AppSec maturity.

Professional Services also helps you optimize your solution to focus on finding exploitable vulnerabilities, as well as providing training and managed services to improve your AppSec journey.
