Checkmarx announced a new GitHub Action to bring comprehensive, automated static and open source security testing to developers.

Checkmarx's new GitHub Action integrates the company's application security testing solutions - Checkmarx SAST and Checkmarx SCA - directly with GitHub code scanning, giving developers more flexibility and power to work with their preferred tools of choice to secure proprietary and open source code.

By automatically triggering SAST and SCA security scans in the event of a pull request, and embedding results directly into the GitHub CI/CD pipeline, Checkmarx streamlines developer workflows and empowers them to code more confidently without sacrificing speed and security.

"The key to this lies within the power of automation, which helps to simplify the implementation and process of security testing in today's fast-paced DevOps environments. We're excited to bring our best-in-class, automated SAST and SCA solutions to the GitHub community and are confident this will enhance developers' experience and ability in finding and fixing code-borne vulnerabilities."

"Checkmarx's new GitHub Action further enables the community to develop secure software, without compromising speed or quality, all within the native GitHub experience."
