Case Study: Swiss Private Bank achieves automated SAST for 100+ in‑house applications and faster vulnerability remediation with Checkmarx

Checkmarx Selected to Transform Swiss Private Bank

A leading Swiss private bank that develops and maintains more than 100 in-house applications (over 30 million lines of code) needed to eliminate application-layer vulnerabilities and meet strict industry compliance. After evaluating vendors—including HP Fortify—the bank chose Checkmarx for its high-quality scan engine, broad language support and ease of integration, with developer adoption identified as a key challenge.

Checkmarx was deployed in the bank’s CI/CD pipeline (powered over AWS) to run automated SAST scans, with an Eclipse IDE plug-in and JIRA integration to assign remediation tickets directly to developers. Combined with Codebashing training, this approach improved secure-coding adoption, enabled early remediation, produced reliable, high-quality scan results and helped the bank meet regulatory requirements.
