Checkmarx, the leader in cloud-native application security, has integrated its enterprise application security platform, Checkmarx One, with leading cloud security provider Wiz and has joined the Wiz Integrations (WIN) program. The integration allows enterprise customers to approach application security (AppSec) from code to cloud and transform the way that AppSec and development teams prioritize and remediate cloud-native vulnerabilities by enriching their AppSec findings with runtime insights.
Wiz’s Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) provides comprehensive coverage of cloud environments. Checkmarx One correlates cloud security context from runtime environments with application security results to prioritize and deliver actionable insights on which vulnerabilities are most critical. This unique approach allows teams to focus on what impacts the business most, thereby improving developers’ productivity and efficiency.
“With over 90% of enterprises knowingly pushing vulnerable code to production, there is a strong demand to change how we approach AppSec in a cloud-native environment,” said David Dewaele, Senior Product Partnership Manager at Checkmarx. “Infusing cloud security insights into every step and level of AppSec allows security and development teams to focus on their most critical vulnerabilities first while also driving actionability to cloud security teams.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome Checkmarx into the WIN platform,” said Oron Noah, Head of Product Extensibility and Partnerships at Wiz. “Together with Checkmarx, we’re providing customers security insights across the development and cloud lifecycle. Checkmarx provides us with unparalleled expertise in application security, which, combined with Wiz’s CNAPP solution, enables us to offer a comprehensive approach to securing applications and infrastructure in the cloud.”
The partnership between Checkmarx and Wiz introduces a “Shift Left, Shield Right” strategy, promising a holistic security posture that spans from code to cloud. Wiz contributes by providing an extensive inventory of cloud assets and crucial runtime context, while Checkmarx identifies and facilitates the remediation of software application vulnerabilities. Together, they offer a unified solution that aligns Wiz’s cloud assets inventory with Checkmarx‘ assessment of applications and source code repositories, providing runtime context during development and actionability while applications are being monitored in production.
