Checkmarx, provider of cloud-native application security, and Wiz, a cloud security solutions vendor, have announced an extended partnership to further enrich the Wiz platform. According to the two companies, this enhancement marks the first-ever integration providing static application security testing (SAST) results to a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) vendor, setting a new industry standard for application security and cloud protection.
This new integration builds on the early results of the partnership, which enriched application security findings with cloud insights on network exposure to prioritize remediation and fine-tune risk scores.
The integration of Checkmarx SAST, part of Checkmarx One, with the Wiz platform builds upon Wiz’s “Shift Left, Shield Right” strategy, bringing application security insights directly into cloud security operations. Adding SAST data enables mutual customers to correlate Checkmarx’ application security findings with Wiz’s cloud security findings to understand and prioritize the issues that pose the most significant risk to critical assets such as sensitive data, thereby enhancing overall cloud security posture.
Ori Bendet, VP, Product Management, Checkmarx
We truly believe that code to cloud is a reality and not just a vision. By utilizing a bi-directional integration, we close the gaps on both sides, providing the missing context for application security and development teams as well as the missing actionability for cloud and operations teams. This will revolutionize how teams approach both application and cloud security.
Oron Noah, Head, Product Extensibility and Partnerships, Wiz
This partnership exemplifies our commitment to equipping developers and security teams with comprehensive solutions to streamline vulnerability detection and mitigation from code to cloud. Together with Checkmarx, we’re helping organizations safeguard their cloud infrastructure and applications with a unified and prioritized view into the cloud vulnerabilities that have the largest impact on their business.
