SCANNING OVER 800 BILLION LINES OF CODE EACH MONTH
Static Analysis Built for the ADLC
AI is changing how code gets written. Checkmarx SAST is built for it — comprehensive scanning, intelligent remediation, and enterprise-grade coverage across your entire SDLC.
Incomplete Coverage Leaves
AI-Generated Code Exposed
Language gaps in legacy tools create blind spots as AI accelerates development. Checkmarx’s hybrid engine covers established, emerging, and extended languages.
Slow, Noisy Scans Erode Pipeline Efficiency
Checkmarx SAST supports both full and incremental scanning — giving teams the flexibility to scan what they need, when they need it, without sacrificing speed or accuracy.
Delayed Findings Slow Down Secure Releases
Surface vulnerabilities with precise fix guidance. Developers remediate directly in the IDE with agentic AI that applies the fix without breaking their flow.
SAST Built for the Age of AI
From scanning to remediation, Checkmarx SAST gives enterprise teams the accuracy, coverage, and AI-powered intelligence to secure code without slowing down how they build it.
Adaptive Vulnerability Scanning
Scans quickly to find the most relevant results, while also identifying the maximum risks for mission-critical applications. Adaptive scanning intelligently balances speed and depth so security teams always focus on what matters most.

FAQ
What other solutions does Checkmarx have in addition to SAST?
• Checkmarx’ SAST tool is part of the Checkmarx One platform. This allows a complete enterprise application security program to run on a single platform, reducing total cost of ownership and allowing for correlation and better actionable insights.
The Checkmarx One platform includes:
• SAST
• DAST
• SCA
• SCS
• API Security
• IaC Security
• Container Security
What languages does Checkmarx SAST support?
Checkmarx SAST covers an extensive range of languages and frameworks, including emerging and extended languages other tools can’t scan. The full list is available in our documentation
Where can I learn more and explore documentation?
You can explore all Checkmarx’ documentation on the documentation page.
How does CxSAST differ from SAST on Checkmarx One?
CxSAST is on-premises, while Checkmarx One is our enterprise cloud-native platform.
Both CxSAST and SAST on Checkmarx One use the same SAST engine. You can also learn more about moving from on-prem to the cloud in this solution brief.
How is a SAST scan different from a DAST scan?
A SAST scan reviews source code, looking for security vulnerabilities in static code. It doesn’t require the application to be running. In contrast, a dynamic application security testing (DAST) scan evaluates a running application, testing how it behaves in real-time by simulating attacks. While SAST finds issues in the code, DAST focuses on identifying runtime vulnerabilities like authentication or input validation problems.
How can Professional Services help me with my SAST solution?
Professional Services help accelerate value. This starts with our Checkmarx Assess (APMA) framework, which provides actionable steps to improve your AppSec maturity.
Professional Services also helps you optimize your solution to focus on finding exploitable vulnerabilities, as well as providing training and managed services to improve your AppSec journey.
