[Schedule a Demo](#form) [See it in Action](#video) Why SAST, Why Now ## From Shadow AI to Secure AI Shadow AI ends here. Checkmarx gives AppSec full visibility and governance across the ADLC, exposing AI assets such as LLMs, MCPs, Agents, AI SDKs and Libraries, to block risk before code ships. Problem You can’t secure what you don’t see. Lack of visibility and siloed data hide AI assets across repos and pipelines. ![Shield AI Security](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Shield-AI-Security-1.svg) Solution ### Complete AI oversight Reduce risk exposure. Automatically discover every LLM, agent framework, MCP server, dataset, and prompt across your application. Problem Even after you gain visibility, you still don’t know the security vulnerabilities introduced by your AI assets. ![Warn](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Warn-1.svg) Solution ### Know your risks Understand the risks your AI introduces. Identify risks that others miss, including insecure deserialization, dangerous model loaders, shell execution, and suspicious patterns. Problem AI visibility and transparency gaps put trust and compliance posture at risk. ![Compliance-Ready-V2](https://checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Compliance-Ready-V2.svg) Solution ### Enforce AI Governance Without Friction Govern AI in the development workflow. Flag AI risks in PRs and pipelines, whitelist trusted components, block threats, generate AI-BOMs, and enforce policy directly in‑flow.

Checkmarx One AI Supply Chain Security discovers LLMs, AI SDKs, AI Libraries, MCP Servers. MCP Clients, AI Agents within your application. Where can I explore AI SSCS documentation? You can explore all Checkmarx’s [documentation here](https://docs.checkmarx.com/en/34965-524960-ai-supply-chain-security.html) Do you use AI to detect and assess AI assets? No, our discovery engine is deterministic and relies on real signals, analyzing source code, dependency files, configuration manifests, and import statements, not AI inference. How can I learn more about pricing? Every organization has unique needs and sizes. For a price quote, please get in touch. See our [packaging here](https://checkmarx.com/packaging/). If you are a current Checkmarx customer, please reach out to your account manager or [contact us here](https://checkmarx.com/contact/) How do you assess security risks associated to AI Assets? Checkmarx provides dedicated security assessment scanners for LLMs and MCPs. For LLMs, we detect security risks like insecure deserialization, dangerous model loaders, shell execution, and suspicious pickle/torch gadget patterns. What is AI Software Supply Chain Security? AI supply chain security is the practice of identifying and mitigating risks introduced by AI components including open-source LLMs, ML frameworks, pre-trained models, and AI-generated code, across the software development lifecycle. Unlike traditional supply chain risks, AI components can introduce hidden vulnerabilities through poisoned training data, compromised model weights, or insecure integrations that are difficult to detect with conventional security tooling. How does AI SSCS help with AI regulatory compliance across frameworks like EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001? s AI Software Supply Chain Security identifies AI components across your applications -models, LLMs, MCP servers – providing visibility for compliance frameworks. It helps determine which AI systems fall under EU AI Act risk classifications, NIST AI RMF governance, and ISO 42001 standards . What security risks do AI agents introduce? AI agents introduce security risks including excessive privilege, insecure tool invocation, indirect prompt injection via external data sources, and unintended data exfiltration. These risks are amplified in multi-agent or autonomous workflow environments, where a single compromised agent can propagate malicious instructions across an entire pipeline with little human oversight. How do I build an AI governance program with the right frameworks, tools, and responsibilities? Start by taking an inventory of all AI usage to uncover Shadow AI. Assess your maturity with [Checkmarx APMA](https://checkmarx.com/apma-appsec-maturity-methodology-assessment/). Align to frameworks like NIST AI RMF or ISO 42001. Define roles: AI risk owners, validators, compliance reviewers. Use AI SCS for continuous discovery and policy enforcement. How do you secure open-source AI models and ML frameworks? Securing open-source AI models and ML frameworks requires continuous inventory of all AI components in use, integrity verification of model weights and dependencies, and runtime monitoring for anomalous behavior. Organizations should treat every open-source model as an untrusted third-party dependency, scanning for known vulnerabilities, verifying provenance, and enforcing least-privilege access before deployment.
