Checkmarx has been positioned the furthest for completeness of vision in the Challenger’s quadrant of Gartner’s 2014 Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing report. Challengers are recognized as “vendors that have executed consistently, typically by focusing on a single technology and have demonstrated substantial competitive capabilities against the Leaders in this particular focus area, and also have demonstrated momentum in their customer base in terms of overall size and growth.”
“We are thrilled to be named a Challenger in the Application Security Testing market, which we believe reflects our goal to lead the software security space with our disruptive technology,” said Emmanuel Benzaquen, CEO of Checkmarx. “We feel our new position recognizes the advances in our application security expertise and reflects the exponential growth we have experienced in the last three years. We will continue to innovate to provide a constant challenge to the market leaders and work to bring Application Security Testing to the next level.”
“Through 2015, more than 75% of mobile applications will fail basic security tests.” Checkmarx addresses this issue by creating SAST software solutions that secure mobile and web applications from the very beginning of the programming process in order to protect consumer data. Checkmarx scans software source-code, quickly identifying security vulnerabilities and regulatory compliance issues, and immediately shows developers and security auditors where and how to fix them.
