It protects more of your applications across your entire SDLC – all in a seamless platform. Correlation and tools such as exploitable path analysis and ASPM ensure devs are focusing where risk lies ![A Unified Cohesive Platform](https://staging.checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/A-Unified-Cohesive-Platform.webp) ### Scan Directly From Repositories You need to move fast. Waiting for code to compile leads to missed deadlines and hinders deadlines. With Checkmarx, you can scan directly from the repos on check-in, so you can find and fix vulnerabilities before they end up in your application. Additionally, scan times are fast. With solutions that offer low scan times or don’t have incremental scanning, even small apps drag you down, limiting developer velocity. ![Scan Directly From Repositories](https://staging.checkmarx.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Scan-Directly-From-Repositories.webp) ### More Customization = Higher Accuracy Each app is different. Your AppSec solution should be able to adapt to different applications. Checkmarx lets you start fast out-of-the-box with our fast scan, while custom queries tailor your solution to your specific application requirements, and drive the highest accuracy. Solutions that lack query customization limit control and inflates MTTR by surfacing too much noise. ![More Customization =
