AppSec That Keeps
Finance Moving

Financial services require security that keeps pace with AI-driven development, ensuring early risk reduction, continuous visibility, and audit-ready control at scale.

Audit-Ready at Any Time
Centralized reporting across all pipelines keeps compliance documentation ready at every stage
Legacy & Cloud Coverage
Consistent policy enforcement across both legacy and cloud-native environments
Full Dependency Visibility
SCA and malicious package detection covers your entire open-source and vendor footprint
Shift-Left Security
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.

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.

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.

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.

What Checkmarx Delivers for Financial Services

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
