What is Checkmarx AI?
Checkmarx is an enterprise application security testing (AST) platform providing static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), dynamic application security testing (DAST), infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security scanning, and API security — covering the full application security testing spectrum for DevSecOps programmes. AI Guided Remediation is Checkmarx's AI capability — providing AI-generated fix recommendations for identified vulnerabilities, explaining in plain language why a code pattern is vulnerable and what the developer should change. The AI guidance reduces the friction of acting on SAST findings — developers understand what to fix and how rather than receiving opaque vulnerability reports. SAST scans source code for security vulnerabilities — SQL injection, cross-site scripting, path traversal, and hundreds of other vulnerability patterns across 30+ programming languages. SCA identifies open-source components with known CVEs, outdated dependencies, and licence compliance issues. DAST dynamically tests running applications for vulnerabilities that static analysis cannot detect. Checkmarx One is the unified cloud-native platform combining all testing capabilities with developer-centric workflow integration. With customers including Airbnb, Samsung, and Salesforce, Checkmarx validates at internet-scale and enterprise software companies for DevSecOps.
How Checkmarx AI works
Checkmarx AI runs as llm assistant software built around code and text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, ide plugins, and ci/cd.

What makes it worth shortlisting
The capabilities that matter most for teams evaluating Checkmarx AI.
AI Guided Remediation
AI-generated vulnerability fix recommendations explaining what to change and why — reducing developer friction from opaque SAST reports to actionable fix guidance with code suggestions.
Full-spectrum AST
SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC, and API security in one platform — covering all application security testing domains for comprehensive DevSecOps without separate tool management.
30+ language SAST
Static analysis coverage across polyglot development environments — identifying security vulnerabilities in Java, Python, JavaScript, Go, C#, and 25+ other programming languages.
Best use cases
Who should use it
Pros
- Airbnb, Samsung, and Salesforce validate across internet-scale consumer and enterprise software
- AI Guided Remediation reduces developer friction — explaining what to fix and providing code suggestions rather than opaque vulnerability reports
- Full AST spectrum (SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC) in one platform reduces DevSecOps tool fragmentation
- 30+ language SAST coverage addresses polyglot development environments
Cons
- Private equity ownership under Hellman & Friedman — evaluate product investment continuity
- False positive rates in SAST require tuning — evaluate false positive rates during proof of concept
- Competing with Snyk (covered), Veracode (rank 813), and Semgrep for application security market
