Checkmarx Enables Real-Time Code Security with Launch of Developer Assist Agent for AI-Native IDEs
BUSINESS WIRE)--Checkmarx, the leader in agentic AI-powered application security, today announced the general availability of its Checkmarx One Developer Assist agent, with extensions for top AI-native Integrated Development Environments (IDE) including Windsurf by Cognition, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. New security solution addresses growing risks as AI generates majority of enterprise code with increasing vulnerabilities. Puts power in hands of developers for real-time remediation. Checkmarx One Developer Assist is an advanced security agent that delivers real-time context-aware prevention, remediation, and guidance to developers from the IDE. Part of the Checkmarx One platform, this innovation enables modern engineering teams to identify, suggest, and remediate AI-generated code from the start, accelerating development without compromising security. 'With AI now generating a majority of new code in enterprise environments, traditional security approaches can't keep pace and will be overwhelmed,' said Jonathan Rende, chief product officer at Checkmarx. 'We are focused on ensuring protection starts at the source—whether generated by humans or AI—by putting more power into developers' hands to identify and remediate issues in real-time.' The initial Checkmarx One Developer Assist plugins are built for popular AI-native coding tools Windsurf, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. As extensions to the Checkmarx One platform, they provide developers seamless access to autonomous, real-time prevention and instant remediation through their primary development environment. During early access of Developer Assist, enterprise customers across healthcare, financial services, and consumer products reported easier access to accurate and complete threat alerts with faster remediation. 'We are very excited about the feedback from customers who have early access to Checkmarx One Developer Assist,' said Ori Bendet, vice president of product management at Checkmarx. 'Developers report faster detection and improved insights. Our goal is to deliver a security-savvy teammate built into their workflow and to reduce the toil of manual processes.' As AI accelerates code generation, it also amplifies security risks that manual reviews can't catch at scale. Developer Assist automates the entire security lifecycle—detection, analysis, and remediation—matching the speed of AI code creation. Developer Assist is the first in Checkmarx's AI agent portfolio, with Policy Assist and Insights Assist agents launching later this year to serve AppSec teams and CISOs respectively.

Checkmarx One brings cloud security tools directly into IDEs
Checkmarx has announced new developer experience enhancements by integrating its Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) solution directly into widely used integrated development environments (IDEs). The cloud-based Checkmarx One application security platform aims to facilitate AppSec-related tasks for developers and incorporates tools designed to help prioritise and remediate vulnerabilities efficiently, supporting developer workflows at scale to meet organisational requirements. The updated platform includes the Head of Engineering Dashboard, which provides a unified, data-driven overview, displaying both the volume of open vulnerabilities categorised by severity and the progress each team has made towards achieving defined security service-level agreements (SLAs). Research highlighted by Checkmarx shows that 72% of developers in large enterprises spend over 17 hours per week on security-related activities, creating a clear need for streamlining such processes. The integration of the ASPM solution into the IDE environment is intended to address this issue by enabling developers to assess and address vulnerabilities more rapidly without having to resort to separate tools or processes. Katie Norton, Research Manager for DevSecOps and Software Supply Chain at IDC, said: "Bringing ASPM context directly into the IDE reflects a forward-looking approach to prioritising security efforts based on risk earlier in the development process. By surfacing relevant insights in context and reducing reliance on downstream ticketing systems, Checkmarx can help developers take timely action on high-priority findings and improve collaboration between security and engineering teams." Alongside the delivery of ASPM within the IDE, Checkmarx has introduced several new features in Checkmarx One intended to simplify the application security process for developers. The first is Pre-commit Secrets Scanning in the IDE, driven by the Checkmarx One detection engine, which is designed to help developers avoid repetitive fixes, decrease engineering effort, and proactively protect organisational assets. Secondly, the platform now integrates with JFrog Artifactory, supporting the protection of proprietary code and facilitating compliance within private code registries. This is expected to empower developers to maintain faster timelines for delivering secure code. The Head of Engineering Dashboard is also introduced to give engineering leaders direct access to metrics and insights that can help reinforce AppSec best practices and enhance efficiency across their teams. Ori Bendet, Vice President of Product at Checkmarx, stated: "Developer experience is no longer a nice to-have but a must-have for every AppSec program. Scaling application security across the enterprise is hard and the key to success are the development teams. Checkmarx One offers everything security and development teams need to be successful. Now we're taking it one step further and bringing the ASPM view for developers right to where they work." Checkmarx One is positioned to provide comprehensive coverage for any cloud-native application during development, aiming to combine both speed and security to address the growing issues presented by software supply chain attacks, API threats, and malicious code.
