Case Study: a large financial services company reduces remediation time by 83% with Checkmarx

83% Reduction In Time-to-Remediation

A large financial services company that manages a retail electronic payments network faced significant challenges due to its rapid growth through acquisitions. Their existing application security tools created a bottleneck, causing frequent software recalls, operational downtime, and delays in securely integrating new technologies. The company needed a solution to identify and remediate code vulnerabilities much earlier in the development lifecycle to support its expansion and secure software initiatives.

The company implemented Checkmarx's Static (CxSAST) and Interactive (CxIAST) Application Security Testing solutions. This integration provided a comprehensive, automated approach to security testing within developer workflows. By adopting Checkmarx, the company achieved an 83% reduction in time-to-remediation, allowing them to reallocate developer resources to higher-value tasks. The solution also eliminated security breaches related to unsecured code and enabled the company to accelerate its organizational growth through faster, more secure integration of acquired technologies.
