Company awarded top honors for its application security platform in cloud computing awards
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, September 30, 2022 – Checkmarx, a global leader in developer-centric application security testing (AST) solutions, was named as a winner of the 2022 Stratus Awards for Cloud Computing in the Security Category for its Checkmarx One™ Application Security Platform. The 2022 Stratus Awards, conducted by the Business Intelligence Group, recognize companies and individuals for their innovations in the cloud and their differentiated product offerings.
“We are honored to have been selected as a top security organization in this year’s Stratus Awards. Cloud development transformation faces a host of expanding security challenges including the ‘lego-lization’ of the tech stack, which causes process issues and reveals new vulnerabilities,” said Emmanuel Benzaquen, CEO of Checkmarx. “The responsibility for application security ‘shifting left’ has been given to developers and development teams who are already under increasing pressure to shrink time-to-delivery while ensuring maximum security for increasingly complex applications. Because of this, platforms such as Checkmarx One have become crucial.”
Checkmarx’ application security testing platform not only enables integrated, enterprise-class security across the entire software development life cycle, it provides expert remediation advice to benefit security leaders, AppSec teams, and developers alike. Additionally, the Checkmarx One platform ensures faster time-to-value, with frictionless onboarding and tailored results for developers through advanced AppSec coverage. The platform provides static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), supply chain security (SCS), API security, dynamic application security testing (DAST), container security, and advanced results correlation.
“Checkmarx is at the forefront helping to drive practical innovations in the cloud,” said Maria Jimenez, Chief Nominations Officer of Business Intelligence Group. “The cloud is now part of the fabric of society and we are thrilled that our volunteer judges were able to help promote all of these innovative services, organizations and executives.”
Checkmarx recently launched the availability of its Checkmarx API Security, the first true "shift-left" API security solution. Unlike other solutions , the Checkmarx One platform integrates seamlessly with developer tools of choice. To learn more about Checkmarx or the Checkmarx One platform, visit www.checkmarx.com.
