Application development has become an extremely complex endeavor, with multiple components involved ranging from open source libraries to shared cloud services and microservices accessed through APIs. The only thing more difficult than building an advanced application is securing it. But it doesn't need to be that way.
This is where Checkmarx comes in. With a focus on application and API security assessments, scanning, and training, DevOps and AppSec teams can work together to reduce the complexity in application development and delivery, ensuring that time-to-market requirements are met alongside the equally-important functional and security requirements.
"A lot of where we focus for the future is staying on top of how applications are changing... and how customers are building their applications." ~Bryant
The team at Checkmarx didn't just develop a set of strong capabilities and stop there, they continue to follow the engineering trends, IT Ops trends, and continue to meet the needs of the modern application and the modern DevOps environment. With this, they recognize that the environment is under constant change - that organizations are forever transforming. This means everything that makes the business run is also changing - the apps, the cloud, the containers, the libraries, and the microservices, as just a few examples.
"When it really comes down to focus, if you have a single platform, there's a lot of awesome things that you can do with that data." ~Bryant
Similarly, as the environments expand and become even more complex, it's critical to have a single view into defining, managing, and ensuring success throughout the entire app development lifecycle. Complexity is the enemy of security. Reducing complexity is what Checkmarx is after.
"That's why I really like about Checkmarx as a company. It is a whole culture and mission, just not selling security, but actually helping our customers." ~Renny
Listen in as we get to hear from Renny and Bryant about the origin and journey of Checkmark - past, present, and future.
