Catch vulnerabilities at commit — before they create rework, delays, or audit risk

Key Challenges

## How Financial Teams Stay Secure

With growing regulatory demands, complex legacy systems, and distributed teams, financial service organizations need a platform that keeps security consistent and manageable.

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

### Audit Gaps Don't Wait for Convenient Moments

Traceability blind spots create audit risk — centralized reporting across pipelines keeps documentation ready at every stage, so you’re never caught off guard by a compliance review.

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

### Security Breaks at the Boundaries Between Environments

When vulnerabilities span legacy and cloud, enforcement breaks down — consistent policy across both environments ensures you maintain control wherever your applications run.

### Your Dependency Footprint Is Bigger Than You Think

External libraries and vendor integrations expand risk beyond what your team can manually track — dependency visibility and malicious package detection keep your full supply chain covered.

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

### Late Discovery Creates Delivery Friction

Vulnerabilities found at commit trigger rework and delays — catching them earlier keeps developers shipping and backlogs small, without slowing down regulated release cycles.

ASPM

### Posture Visibility Across Teams

Get a centralized view of your security posture across every tool, team, and environment. ASPM correlates findings, prioritizes by risk, and produces audit-ready reports so you’re never caught off guard by a compliance review.

 ⛊Audit-ready reporting

Full traceability across all SDLC stages, ready for PCI DSS, SOX, and DORA reviews at any time

 ⛊Risk-based prioritization

Business context scoring cuts through noise so security teams focus on what actually matters in production

 ⛊Cross-tool correlation

Findings from SAST, SCA, DAST, and more unified into one risk view across all your environments

 ⛊Program health tracking

Continuous visibility into coverage gaps, trend lines, and security program maturity over time

 [ See Centralized Reporting in a Demo → ](#form)

SAST &amp; SCA

### Full Code and Dependency Coverage

Scan proprietary code and open-source dependencies in a single platform. Purpose-built for regulated environments that run both legacy and modern stacks, with SBOM support and malicious package detection included.

 ⛊AI SAST

AI-enhanced static analysis with 99.7% accuracy and dramatically lower false positive rates than legacy scanners

 ⛊SCA with reachability

Open-source vulnerability detection that only surfaces what's actually exploitable in your codebase

 ⛊SBOM generation

Automated software bill of materials for regulatory compliance and supply chain visibility

 ⛊Malicious package detection

Real-time protection against compromised open-source packages entering your builds

 [ See Consistent Coverage in a Demo → ](#form)

Developer Assist Agent

### Security in the IDE

Deliver actionable fix guidance where developers already work. Reduce late-stage rework by surfacing issues before they reach commit, audit, or production — without adding friction to the development workflow.

 ⛊Inline fix suggestions

Context-aware remediation guidance as developers write code, in VS Code, JetBrains, and more

 ⛊PR security review

Automated security feedback on every pull request before code reaches main branch

 ⛊Rework reduction

Issues caught at development cost 10x less to fix than vulnerabilities found post-release

 ⛊Security education in context

Developers learn secure coding patterns in their natural workflow, not in separate training

 [ See Dev-First Security in a Demo → ](#form)

Triage &amp; Remediation Assist

### Fewer Backlogs, Faster Fixes

Prioritize and remediate consistently across distributed engineering teams. Reduce backlog and mean time to remediate with guided workflows that enforce the same decisions regardless of team or region.

 ⛊AI-powered triage

Risk-based prioritization combines EPSS scores, exploit intelligence, and business context to cut alert noise by 87%

 ⛊Auto-generated patches

Precise, ready-to-apply fix code specific to your codebase and framework patterns

 ⛊Consistent across regions

Enforces the same remediation decisions across distributed teams in different geographies

 ⛊MTTR reduction

Customers report 65% faster mean time to remediate critical vulnerabilities after deployment
