Benefits

Legacy Solutions Don’t Build #DevSecTrust

Veracode has historically focused on the needs of security teams — not developers. Checkmarx One has a unified experience and doesn’t get in the way of developers’ workflows.

Veracode_I01

Faster Risk Mitigation 

Veracode requires two builds, only scans compiled code, and struggles to point to vulnerable code.

Checkmarx has faster code-to-remediation time. Fix once and remediate throughout.

Veracode_I02

Seamless Integrations

Veracode has separate plugins for SCA and SAST, making integration a challenge.

With Checkmarx, integrations with IDEs, SCMs, CI Build tools, and feedback apps are frictionless.

Veracode_I03

A truly Unified Platform

Veracode has separate scans for SAST and SCA and uses APIs to connect to SCM tooling.

With Checkmarx, a single event can trigger multiple scans. 

Supply Chain Threat Intelligence

Not only can Checkmarx identify vulnerabilities in open source packages, but we can identify malicious packages. Checkmarx monitors published packages and provides the intelligence needed to protect your organization.

Coverage and Visibility

Veracode has limited functionality in areas like IaC, Supply Chain Security, and DAST.  They only scan binaries and lack SCM integration. Results lack context and cannot be easily integrated into the CI/CD pipeline.

Checkmarx One provides a comprehensive AppSec approach.

SAST Query Customization

Tuning SAST to your unique application increases accuracy and reduces false positives and false negatives. Veracode doesn’t allow you to customize queries.

Powered by the Checkmarx AI Query Builder for SAST, AppSec teams can use AI to write custom queries, or modify existing queries.
