Checkmarx agentic application security software platform Combines Hybrid scanning, AI-powered agents, and unified risk intelligence across every attack surfaceattack surfaceThe exposed systems, interfaces and access points an attacker could try to use. It includes internet-facing services as well as identities, software and other reachable resources.
Checkmarx is a commercial appsec platform that combines hybrid scanning, AI-powered agents, and unified risk intelligence across every attack surface. It is positioned for application developers and sits in the appsec category, offering sast, sca, and dast capabilities. The platform runs as an agentic service. It was first launched in 2006 and has seen 5 releases within the tracking window, with the last one published 17 days ago.
Checkmarx agentic application security software platform Combines Hybrid scanning, AI-powered agents, and unified risk intelligence across every attack surface
Which of my SAST findings are actually exploitable versus theoretical noise?
applies AI reasoning grounded in reachability, exploitability, code context, risk context, policy, and mitigating controls to each eligible finding, marking it Confirmed or Proposed Not Exploitable so analysts review decisions instead of re-investigating context
Which of my repositories are using AI models, agents, or MCP servers I don't know about?
runs deterministic analysis across repositories to identify models, agents, MCP servers, AI libraries, and SDKs, tracing each finding to the specific file and line and generating versioned AI-BOM documentation per release
Is a coding agent about to write vulnerable code or install a risky package before it happens?
intercepts the agent's file writes and package installations through hooks and MCP, checking them against an independent AppSec layer and returning remediation guidance directly to the agent before the action takes effect
Where across my SAST, SCA, IaC, API, secrets, container, and DAST findings does the same underlying risk actually live?
correlates signals from all of those scanners and third-party tools, enriches them with exploitability, reachability, exposure, ownership, and business criticality, and surfaces the result for enforcement at the pull request stage
Can I hand a confirmed vulnerability to a developer without them having to dig up the fix themselves?
generates review-ready guidance and a suggested code change for the prioritized finding and, on supported GitHub projects, opens a separate pull request with the proposed fix for review, without merging anything automatically
Did an earlier AI triage decision on one finding apply to the same issue showing up in other scans?
propagates the triage state to identical findings retroactively across earlier scans using Similarity ID or Attack Vector ID matching, and forward into later SCA scans matched by package version and package manager

release
Checkmarx adds Triage Assist (AI Triage) to evaluate whether a finding is reachable and exploitable, automatically setting a finding's state to Confirmed or Proposed Not Exploitable with reasoning visible in Risk Orchestration.

Score card
Shipping velocityreleases a month, last 12 months

Breaking-change disciplinehow rarely a release breaks users, and notice given
Maintenance riskquiet time against its own cadence, maintainers
Innovation & surfacenew capabilities, API and MCP surface
Five scores for Checkmarx, each built from the releases, notes and API history this site tracks — and, on Researcher and Business, where it stands among every measured tool in its category and how that has moved.
Each score is 0–100 on a published rubric, derived from data this site already shows.
A dimension we cannot measure says so — it is never scored 0 and never enters a rank.
How this is scored
Shipping velocity — releases a month over the last 12 months, on a log scale where 16 a month scores 100. Needs 3 releases in the window.
Documentation quality — the release-notes rubric published on the analytics page, unchanged.
Breaking-change discipline — the share of releases carrying a breaking change (none scores 100, half or more scores 0). Only projects that label breaking changes are measured: a clean record cannot be told from an unlabelled one.
Maintenance risk — quiet time measured against the tool's own release cadence (quiet longer than 90 days and three typical gaps scores 0), plus the number of active maintainers and whether contributors are growing, where known. Higher is lower risk.
Innovation & surface — new capabilities in the feature ledger this year, API and MCP operations added, and the share of commits that are features: the mean of whichever we hold.
Community health (open-source tools only) — each is a direction, not a size: contributors this year against last, the bus factor now against a year ago, and issues closed per issue opened, where steady scores 50, doubled 100 and halved 0; plus the median time to a maintainer's first reply (an hour scores about 100, a month or more 0). A commercial card has no repository and carries none of the four.
Documented delivery (commercial tools) — when a vendor's documented new capabilities have slowed against its own baseline, that counts against the overall standing as heavily as two low dimensions. Steady delivery, or too little history to judge, leaves the standing alone; it is never a sixth score.
Open-source tools are scored on repository signals; commercial tools on their published changelog. Ranks compare tools within one category and one profile and need at least five measured peers; the overall standing needs three ranked dimensions. Best-in-breed or consolidator is a shape, not a quality, and is never scored.
