Case Study: Leading Software Development House achieves scalable, cost-effective code security with Checkmarx CxSAST

Leading Software Development House Implements CxSAST

A global software development and content-management company serving more than 18,000 organizations faced the challenge of securing a large, complex Java code base spanning millions of lines and numerous third‑party plugins. They needed a cost‑effective, configurable SAST that runs on Mac OS, can analyze incomplete code with missing dependencies to speed audits, and comes with strong, responsive vendor support.

After months of evaluation they selected Checkmarx CxSAST. Implementation took place over two years with initial tuning and vendor support resolving issues quickly; the tool is now used to assess third‑party plugins before bundling, and the company is expanding scans across shared components with plans to integrate IDE plugins into the SDLC. The result is a flexible, easy‑to‑use solution that reduced audit time and resources, improved visibility into plugin risks, and delivered professional, timely support.
