Checkmarx, the global leader in agentic application security, today announced IDE-native support for Kiro through Checkmarx Developer Assist. The integration embeds real-time, AI-powered security analysis directly into the Kiro developer workflow, allowing security checks to occur inline without leaving the IDE or depending solely on downstream CI/CD scans.
“As AI-driven development environments like Kiro accelerate velocity, security must operate at developer speed,” said Jonathan Rende, chief product officer at Checkmarx. “Developer Assist brings agentic, policy-driven security insight directly into the IDE, helping developers understand real risk in real time while giving AppSec teams centralized visibility and control through Checkmarx One. With the Kiro agent powered by Checkmarx, developers can eliminate up to 90% of security rework before code is committed.”
The integration aligns security with modern development practices, where AI tools generate code rapidly. By shifting prevention earlier in the process, Checkmarx helps teams avoid downstream rework, reduce vulnerability density, and maintain compliance without slowing innovation.
