Case Study: Global Manufacturing Company achieves robust application security and rapid DevSecOps adoption with Checkmarx

Global Manufacturer Ensures Application Security with CxSAST

A global personal care and paper-products manufacturer with roots in the late 1800s and more than 50,000 employees worldwide set out to harden its software supply chain by implementing Application Security Testing. The board required a solution with high detection accuracy that could adapt to specific needs, support .NET, Java, iOS and Android, integrate smoothly into fast-paced Agile/CI pipelines, and drive strong developer adoption to protect customer data and brand reputation.

The company selected Checkmarx CxSAST and deployed it (AWS-hosted) into the SDLC and CI/CD toolchain, rolling the solution out to 150 developers with web-based training and IDE integration for easy remediation. Automated, incremental scans and clear remediation guidance produced rapid adoption, reduced scan time, and improved secure coding practices—leading the company to regard Checkmarx and AWS as strategic partners in delivering secure applications.
