Modern App Development
Modern Application Development
We’ve curated a collection of resources focusing on the technologies and cloud native approaches that make modern application development (MAD) safer and faster. Wherever you sit in your organization, we’ve got the intel you’re looking for.
Modern = Secure
The days of monolithic application development are over. In the cloud, on-premises, or anywhere in between, as development keeps accelerating, it’s easy for security to fall behind. We’ll show you how you can seamlessly integrate security into modern development and stay ahead of threats without slowing down.

Static Code Analysis
Source-code-level errors are a major cause of vulnerabilities. To meet quality and speed requirements, you need to perform SAST scans early and often during development. The key to this analysis is when it’s performed in the MAD life cycle.
As development moves to the cloud, so must static code analysis. MAD operates at extremely high speed, and integrating and automating this analysis into the dev process enables devs to prioritize security while they’re writing code. The result is more secure code, faster.
Static Code Analysis Resources
Open Source Security
Software composition analysis (SCA) ensures open source in a codebase is safe and meets all licensing requirements. Since today’s applications contain so much open source code, organizations can better manage their risk if they have visibility into what’s in their codebase.
SCA enables devs and AppSec teams to understand any vulnerabilities in the code, which packages and libraries need to be updated and maintained, and how attribution is met. In short, SCA must be part of any open source security and risk management program.
Open Source Security Resources
Supply Chain Security
Open source supply chain attacks are forcing organizations to find ways to more efficiently identify and replace risky packages. You need a solution that provides an inventory of all open source code in use and easily integrates with CI/build servers, artifact servers, and development environments.
You also need the ability to apply a Zero Trust model to open source to reveal potential attackers, locate hidden backdoors, and identify malicious code. Your teams can identify compromised packages and mitigate risk with behavioral analysis, link analysis, machine learning, and threat intel.
Supply Chain Security Resources
API Security
Modern applications rely on growing numbers of APIs being used in loosely-coupled, microservices-based architectures. To ensure APIs don’t become a liability, you need to prioritize API discovery, accountability, security, and ongoing management on your list of risk mitigation techniques.
To do this at the source code level, organizations need to first use an industry-leading SAST to discover their API footprint, looking for indications of API code. Once all APIs—including shadow and zombie APIs—are discovered, you must then compare that list against latest API documentation to quickly find and fix problems with your APIs to mitigate business risk.
API Security Resources
Infrastructure as Code Security
DevOps teams use infrastructure as code (IaC) to describe common infrastructure components like servers, VPCs, IP addresses, or VMs in a configuration language. Once ready to deploy, teams use this configuration as a blueprint to provision infrastructure services and components on demand.
Using IaC introduces a new set of risks. A steep learning curve for devs often leads to more human error, increased configuration drift, and data exposure. You need a purpose-built IaC security solution with great extensibility and cloud provider coverage to secure your IaC pipelines.

LET’S ACCELERATE DEVELOPMENT
Security that Fosters Innovation
You need the freedom to innovate, meet business objectives, and deliver software on time. Doing it all securely is more challenging when your in-house AppSec testing solutions are slowing you down.
That’s all about to change.
Checkmarx seamlessly integrates security into your modern dev infrastructure. Easily automate scans across application, infrastructure, and container code so you can spend less time fixing vulnerabilities.
We’ve built in the speed, scale, and flexibility you need to easily find and fix vulnerabilities in your code, right from the tools you’re already using, with one-click scans across your entire codebase.

SECURE MORE CONFIDENTLY
Keep a Lid on Risk
Modern application development brings an entirely new set of software risks to your organization, and it’s your job to mitigate them. From microservices, open source, and APIs to containers, infrastructure as code, and supply chain, the risk landscape has gotten even trickier to navigate.
We’ll help you easily manage your software risks. From a single scan, our technology lets you and your devs correlate scan data for any type of code into one dashboard for deeper insights into your risk landscape.
Don’t waste time switching between scanning solutions—manage your organization’s risk more efficiently with a single modern user experience.
APPSEC RESOURCES
DON’T WAIT—INNOVATE
Securing Tomorrow's Software
Your developers want to innovate, and you know your business needs to modernize, but you can’t take on undue organizational risk. It’s your job to balance business objectives with security in the most costeffective way possible, but it’s difficult to know you’re making the right choice.
Not anymore.
Checkmarx gives your teams the tools they need to innovate securely while producing higher quality software and reducing risk throughout the development process. Devs and AppSec teams meet deadlines and deliver more secure software. You lower the total cost of security while increasing revenue. Everybody wins.
