We’re proud to share that Checkmarx has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) 2025 Vendor Assessment. We believe this recognition reflects our continued investment in innovation, especially around AI and developer-centric security, and underscores the value Checkmarx delivers for enterprises seeking scalable, integrated application risk management. 

Choosing the right ASPM is critical to achieving AppSec success. The ability to correlate and contextualize risks in real time helps you keep pace with development cycles that now move at hyper speed.  

According to the IDC MarketScape, “Checkmarx is a strong fit for organizations seeking an ASPM solution embedded in a developer-focused AppSec platform, supported by sustained AI investment, and designed to deliver strong return on investment for platform-oriented buyers.”

“We’re honored to be named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for ASPM,” said Jonathan Rende, Chief Product Officer at Checkmarx. “We believe this recognition validates our vision of delivering an AppSec platform where AI and developer experience go hand-in-hand. With Checkmarx One, we’re helping organizations gain earlier visibility into application risk, streamline remediation, and reduce total cost of ownership.” 

Making ASPM Actionable for Developers 

The report noted, “Checkmarx is advancing its AI strategy through a multiagent framework designed to embed intelligent automation across the SDLC. Within this framework, the Checkmarx One Assist family includes specialized agents for secure coding, as well as policy orchestration and enforcement. The forthcoming Insights Assist Agent, most relevant to ASPM, is intended to provide real-time visibility into application security posture, risk trends, and SLA adherence.”  

As the IDC MarketScape notes: 

“By embedding ASPM directly into the IDE, the platform provides real-time visibility into application risk during code development. Developers can view exploitable vulnerabilities and a filtered list of the top 50 critical issues without leaving their workflow, reducing context switching and improving productivity.” 

Instead of overwhelming developers with every finding, Checkmarx ASPM surfaces the few vulnerabilities that matter most. The result is up to 40 percent noise reduction, with clear guidance on what to fix first.  

Developers get precise, actionable insights in their IDE with guidance on the best fix location, while security teams have a centralized, clear view of risk posture, remediation progress, and coverage gaps.

Checkmarx One: A Platform-Centric Approach to ASPM 

Checkmarx ASPM solves this gap by turning raw data into unified, actionable risk insights. Unlike point solutions or siloed ASPM add-ons, Checkmarx One delivers ASPM as a native capability within a unified, cloud-native platform.  

Checkmarx ASPM correlates data across tools to reduce alert fatigue and prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities. With a centralized view of risk posture, coverage gaps, and remediation progress, security leaders and engineering teams can act faster and smarter.  

You can access aggregate  data from our in-house scanners, including SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC, and container security, alongside findings from third-party tools via our bring-your-own-results (BYOR) capability and CNAPP integrations.

This unified data is transformed into a single, contextual view of application risk, so you can prioritize what truly matters: exploitable vulnerabilities, ranked using real-world signals like business context, runtime exposure, and asset criticality, not just static severity scores.  

This platform-centric approach ensures security teams and developers operate from a shared source of truth, accelerating decision-making, streamlining remediation, and delivering measurable ROI across the entire application security lifecycle. 

Making AI a Priority: Intelligent Automation Across the SDLC 

The report noted, “AI is a strategic priority for Checkmarx, with capabilities embedded across the platform to enhance risk analysis, accelerate remediation, and reduce manual effort.” 

Capabilities include: 

• In-IDE secure coding guidance 

• AI-generated fix recommendations 

• Risk scoring enriched by exploitability, business impact, and runtime exposure 

The growing Checkmarx One Assist agent family reflects this investment, bringing automation to secure coding, policy enforcement, and posture visibility, all from within the developer’s workflow.
