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



As enterprises look to differentiate themselves through digital innovation, recent research found that nearly two-thirds will be prolific software producers, with code deployed daily, by 2025.


However, this increased emphasis on speed and volume comes at a price, as vulnerable software and applications are now the leading cause of security breaches.


With development cycles accelerating and software becoming more complex due to the evolution of APIs, microservices, containers, and more, automated solutions that are purpose-built for DevOps and enable developers to find and fix flaws more quickly and easily are required.
