With this, Checkmarx furthers its commitment to supporting the public sector by making its automated application security testing solution available to all DoD agencies in the form of a hardened container, helping them to confidently build and release secure software while meeting the strict security and compliance requirements of the U.S. military.

This enables all DoD agencies and developers to easily acquire and integrate the Checkmarx solution into their DevOps environments and automatically insert security into the entire SDLC, while also avoiding lengthy ATO timelines.

"As software becomes more complex, bringing with it a vast attack surface, the DoD has made it a priority to arm development teams with best-in-class solutions to build and deploy applications in a more secure manner," said Nicolas Chaillan, Chief Software Officer and Co-Lead for the DoD Enterprise DevSecOps Initiative, U.S. Air Force.

"Checkmarx has been a valued partner to the USAF and DoD for years and this latest step in bringing a hardened version of their solution to Iron Bank and Platform One will be invaluable as we execute on our mission to shift to a DevSecOps model across our entire branch."

Public sector agencies that leverage Checkmarx are able to integrate enterprise-grade security testing into their DevOps environments, while meeting compliance requirements for FISMA, NIST, and STIG, among others, and decreasing time to ATO. "The Iron Bank and Platform One synergy is a truly logical way of bringing the benefits of faster time-to-market and lower development costs to a complex enterprise like the DoD," said Peter Archibald, Federal Systems Manager, Checkmarx.
