Case Study: Leading Automotive Company achieves stronger application security and faster vulnerability remediation with Checkmarx CxSAST

Leading Automotive Company Implements CxSAST to Strengthen Security

A global automotive distributor with hundreds of dealerships and about 1,300 U.S. employees needed to reduce cyber risk by finding and fixing software vulnerabilities earlier in the SDLC. The company sought a developer-friendly SAST that integrated with its DevOps toolchain to match fast release cycles and encourage adoption.

After evaluating options, the company deployed Checkmarx CxSAST as a cloud-based, fully managed service on AWS, integrated with CI/CD tools and developers’ IDEs. The program now runs ~4,000 scans across 200 projects (~500 million LOC) per year, enables early remediation via Best Fix Location, increases developer security awareness, and has become an essential part of the SDLC while reducing time spent fixing vulnerabilities.
