Checkmarx, a global leader in application security testing, has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) 2025 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US53001925, September 2025). Evaluated among 18 vendors, Checkmarx is praised for its developer-centric platform, seamless integration into workflows, and robust AI capabilities, making it a strong fit for organizations seeking high ROI in application security.
The IDC MarketScape report emphasizes Checkmarx’s strategic focus on AI, with features like in-IDE secure coding assistance, AI-generated fix recommendations, and enriched risk scoring based on exploitability and business impact. “AI is a strategic priority for Checkmarx, with capabilities embedded across the platform to enhance risk analysis, accelerate remediation, and reduce manual effort,” the report notes. By embedding ASPM directly into Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), Checkmarx provides real-time visibility into application risks, allowing developers to address critical vulnerabilities without leaving their workflow.
Checkmarx One, launched in December 2021, scans over 800 billion lines of code monthly for more than 850 enterprise customers. The platform’s integration with risk management APIs aligns remediation with business priorities, while its Developer Assist AI agent, compatible with IDEs like Windsurf, Cursor, and Copilot, supports autonomous remediation. “By embedding ASPM directly into the IDE, the platform provides real-time visibility into application risk during code development,” the report states, highlighting reduced context switching and improved productivity for developers and AppSec teams.
“We’re honored to be recognized by the IDC MarketScape as a Leader in ASPM,” said Jonathan Rende, chief product officer for Checkmarx. “We believe this acknowledgment reflects our commitment to building the most developer-focused AppSec platform in the industry, where AI innovation plays a central role.” Beyond ASPM, Checkmarx One offers Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Malicious Package Detection, Infrastructure as Code (IAC) Security, and Container Security, ensuring comprehensive protection across the software development lifecycle.
This recognition underscores Checkmarx’s role in empowering organizations to address security risks early and achieve stronger ROI. For more details, access the IDC MarketScape excerpt or visit Checkmarx’s website.
