Why isn't pricing listed publicly?

Application security needs vary wildly by organization. A custom quote ensures you pay for the exact modules and scale you need, rather than being forced into a generic, potentially oversized or undersized plan.

Can I add modules or upgrade later?

Yes. The platform is modular by design. You can add scanner engines or capabilities like AI security as your program matures, and upgrade tiers (e.g., from Essentials to Professional) when ready.

What's the difference between Essentials, Professional, and Enterprise?

Essentials provides core SAST, SCA, API Security, and ASPM. Professional adds DAST, Container Security, and malicious package protection. Enterprise includes all of the above plus IaC Security, Secrets Detection, and full supply chain security for maximum compliance.

Do you offer a self-hosted or on-premises deployment?

Yes. While the primary offering is cloud-based SaaS, Checkmarx One supports self-hosted and on-premises deployment for teams with strict data residency, air-gapped, or regulatory requirements.

What is Checkmarx Fusion?

Fusion is a new hybrid scanning engine that combines traditional rules-based analysis with Anthropic's frontier AI models. The goal is to achieve higher fidelity and the most complete vulnerability detection available.

How does Checkmarx handle AI security?

Checkmarx provides dedicated security for AI components: AI-BOM generation to inventory AI models and dependencies, LLM scanning, MCP server discovery, and governance for AI agents, all integrated into the unified platform.

Checkmarx

Checkmarx One is an enterprise-grade application security platform that unifies static (SAST), software composition (SCA), dynamic (DAST), API, container, and infrastructure-as-code scanning into a single, AI-powered view. It provides agentic security agents for developer assistance, automated triage, and remediation, plus dedicated modules for securing the AI supply chain (AI-BOM, LLM scanning). Designed for large development teams and security organizations, it aims to reduce vulnerability backlogs and secure both human- and AI-generated code. The platform offers SaaS and self-hosted deployment, with custom-quoted pricing based on modules and scale.

Using Checkmarx MCP

See how Checkmarx One and Checkmarx Developer Assist plug directly into your coding workflow through the Checkmarx MCP so you can go from scan result to shipped fix without ever leaving Visual Studio Code. In this walkthrough, we use Claude Code as our coding assistant to: Check project status: Claude pulls git context (branch, current commit) and resolves the open repository against the right Checkmarx One project, confirming the latest scan matches the exact code checked out no stale or mismatched results. Review critical findings: Using the Checkmarx MCP's list findings and get finding details commands, we drill into the top critical issues: SQL injection and stored cross-site scripting. For each SQL injection finding, Checkmarx traces the full data flow where untrusted input enters, how it moves through the app, and where it becomes exploitable, plus the recommended fix. Remediate in place: With one prompt, Claude calls Checkmarx's remediation guidance and applies a parameterized-query fix directly in the IDE. It also catches the same unsafe pattern in related queries and updates those too, then runs a compilation check to confirm nothing broke. Get a clear summary: A rundown of every file and function changed, with the stored XSS findings flagged for the next pass.No copying findings between tools. No translating a security report into a diff by hand. Just scan result → vulnerable code → understanding → fix, in one conversation, inside the IDE you already use.

Checkmarx Fusion demo

Application security has always been a race against how fast code ships — Checkmarx is built to keep up. In this walkthrough, we run Checkmarx Fusion against a real multi-language fintech codebase (Java, Python, Go, and R) to show exactly how hybrid scanning works: rules-based precision, AI-powered language coverage, and frontier AI models reasoning over your code together — all filtered through the Findings Analysis Engine before a single result reaches you. You'll see: -How to connect a repo and enable Fusion in a new scan -A side-by-side comparison of results with and without the Findings Analysis Engine (112 → 87 true positives, 25 false positives automatically removed) -What happens when Fusion runs on different frontier models -A real finding — a SQL injection in a Go service — that a single-engine scanner would have missed entirely, with no known rule or signature to match -How everything flows straight into Checkmarx One: Risk Orchestration, Triage Assist, and Remediation Assist The result: the highest-fidelity findings we offer, consistent scan to scan, with less manual triage.

Where it falls short

No public pricing; custom quotes are required, slowing initial evaluation.
No self-serve free trial; requires a scheduled, personalized demo.
Can be complex to configure due to the vast number of scanners and add-ons.
Pricing transparency is limited, which can be a hurdle for procurement.

Technical limitations

Some advanced scanners (MCP, Skills) are listed as 'Coming Soon'.
Platform breadth may lead to 'analysis paralysis' without clear maturity roadmap.
