Checkmarx On Demand: The New Source Code Review Tool

As cyber crimes are increasing manifold and there’s a lot of security incidents to worry about, developers want to build vulnerability-free codes. To help the entire developer community, Checkmarx introduces an On demand tool that provides complete Source Code review in a secure cloud environment.

Checkmarx is a leading provider of code analysis tools, static code analysis, and Compliance & Risk management. With this new offering, all what developers need to do is to simply load code to the scanning engine through a protected gateway or repository, and within minutes they receive a complete security scan with tangible and comprehensive results. Checkmarx On Demand is perfectly designed for safety and accreditation within communities and independent developers.

So, it’s a simple three step process – Load Code > Scan > Review Results.

Checkmarx on Demand comes with an Eclipse Plug-in and has support for all leading languages including Objective C/ iOS. The company is giving a free trial version of the Checkmarx On-Demand web application to businesses. Free account registration for the same can be done right here.

Developers Looking for Security Tools

Checkmarx’s offering adds to a long line of security-enabling tools for checking code and testing apps before an exploit is noticed by a bad guy in the wild. Include the Eclipse plug-in and it’s well on its way to winning a place in the tool set of the multitude of developers who use it as their go-to development environment.
