Case Study: Global Financial Services Company achieves stronger multi-language application security and developer-driven SDLC adoption with Checkmarx

Global Financial Services Company - Customer Case Study

Global Financial Services, a 125‑year‑old firm that processes more than 23 billion consumer self‑service transactions worldwide, needed to replace its legacy SAST tooling with a more accurate, flexible static code analysis solution. The company required support for Visual Basic 6 and many other languages, desktop developer scans integrated into the SDLC (Visual Studio/Eclipse), reduced false positives/negatives, and continuous compliance with standards such as OWASP Top10, SANS 25 and PCI DSS.

After a 30‑minute trial install, the company selected Checkmarx for its multi‑language coverage, accuracy and ease of use. Implementation moved from a central scanning model to distributed developer-run scans via IDE plugins, driving continuous secure‑coding education, broad adoption across teams and languages, and strong compliance and support — with engineers actively pushing to expand licenses as the organization moves toward a fully automated secure SDLC.
