Brinqa, a leader in cyber risk management, announced a strategic partnership with Checkmarx, the global leader in application security solutions, to help organizations build world-class application security programs that meet the needs of today’s evolving threat landscape. This partnership combines the industry leading risk-based prioritization, automation, and reporting in the Brinqa Attack Surface Intelligence Platform with the Checkmarx One™ Application Security Platform, the industry’s most comprehensive application security solution.
“Developing a modern vulnerability risk management program requires visibility into every part of your attack surface, including code and applications – and this partnership ensures companies have just that,” said Amad Fida, CEO and founder of Brinqa. “Combining Checkmarx One with Brinqa’s Attack Surface Intelligence platform empowers organizations to incorporate comprehensive AppSec insights into a companywide view of cyber risk, now and into the future.”
Insecure code, whether developed in-house or by third parties, is a leading source of data breaches. In fact, 46% of data breaches are tied to application vulnerabilities, according to the 2022 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, yet most organizations continue to focus on perimeter, network, and endpoint security, neglecting application security. Furthermore, as threat actors grow increasingly sophisticated, the risk of insecure code is becoming more and more prevalent.

Fortunately, awareness is growing and regulations are putting increased pressure on organizations to develop strong application security programs. For example, Executive Order (EO) 14028 requires agencies to enhance cybersecurity and software supply chain integrity and transition towards a “zero trust” approach, highlighting the critical nature of secure software development, requiring developers to maintain greater visibility into their software.
“Together with Brinqa, we are now able to further empower the enterprise to develop and evolve applications with simple and seamless security built in,” said Kobi Tzruya, Chief R&D Officer at Checkmarx. “This joint solution automates the application cyber risk and remediation lifecycle, ensuring the concept of ‘shift everywhere’ is adopted from the ground up. This is vital support for mission-critical application security teams in their efforts to reduce risk and ensure compliance while supporting business growth.”
Cyber advisory and solutions leader Optiv was instrumental in integrating the two technologies based on customer requests and market demand for more dynamic vulnerability management reporting.
