Case Study: Swiss Private Bank achieves automated secure coding and fast vulnerability remediation with Checkmarx

Swiss Private Bank - Customer Case Study

A leading Swiss private bank needed to eliminate application-level vulnerabilities and meet industry regulations after recognizing that 70% of attacks target applications. Their top criteria were scan-engine quality and broad language support; following a 2014 proof-of-concept they selected Checkmarx over HP Fortify, with developer adoption identified as a key implementation challenge.

Checkmarx proved easy to set up, integrated into developers’ Eclipse IDE and JIRA workflow, and provided in-IDE remediation guidance (AppSec Coach) so issues are fixed early. The bank now runs automated scans on 100+ Java and .NET applications (30M+ lines of code), produces reliable automated reports, enforces compliance, and has achieved strong developer buy-in for secure coding.
