Software supply chain security covers open source packages, container images, and repositories entering your applications. AI supply chain security extends that to what LLMs, MCP servers, coding assistants, and autonomous agents introduce without human review. Checkmarx addresses both — giving security teams visibility and control across the full scope of modern supply chain risk. Does Checkmarx generate SBOMs for supply chain compliance? Yes. Checkmarx SCA generates SBOMs automatically for open source dependencies, and Checkmarx AI Supply Chain generates AI-BOMs for AI-introduced components. How does Checkmarx secure container images in the software supply chain? Checkmarx Container Security scans images for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and untrusted base images across the SDLC. It validates what’s in container images before they reach production — ensuring that what gets deployed matches what was approved, from development through runtime. Can Checkmarx identify AI assets like LLMs and MCP servers in our environment? Yes. Checkmarx inventories AI assets across your environment — including LLMs, MCP servers, and autonomous agents — and identifies their provenance. Security teams gain visibility into what AI components are present, where they came from, and whether they meet your organization’s trust and policy standards. Will supply chain security controls slow down development pipelines? No. Checkmarx integrates into existing CI/CD workflows and enforces supply chain controls automatically, without adding manual review gates. Policy enforcement, SBOM generation, and container scanning run in parallel with development — blocking risky components without interrupting team velocity. How does Checkmarx secure dependencies introduced by AI coding assistants? AI coding assistants introduce dependencies at machine speed, often without human review. Checkmarx monitors these changes, validates component provenance, enforces policy controls, and generates AI-BOMs — ensuring that what AI introduces meets the same security and compliance standards as traditionally developed software. ## Book a Supply Chain Demo See how Checkmarx secures your software and AI supply chain — from dependencies to AI assets. ### Thank You!
