If you\u2019re responsible for provisioning developer tools \u2013 your job is hard. Developers need a lot of stuff,<\/em> all of which needs to integrate properly, to be successful. And in their case, success is designing quality software and delivering it on time. Much of the business world is increasingly focusing on and revolving around developers; and most everyone expects more and more out of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the past 5 years, that \u201cmore\u201d has grown to encompass application security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means even more steps added to developer workflows. And it also means working with security teams, who come to the table with a very different mindset and set of incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this to have any chance of working, in addition to making the necessary cultural changes to shift to a DevSecOps mindset, you also need a tool that devs will actually use. And as we know \u2013 developers are very choosey about their tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So here you are. You\u2019re not in AppSec, and maybe you\u2019ve never worked in security at all! But you have to help make the choice of what AppSec tools to use. That\u2019s a tough spot. Here is some guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDevelopers haven\u2019t learned secure coding!\u201d is a common lament from InfoSec teams. And yeah \u2013 it\u2019s true. They haven\u2019t. Is it their fault? Nope. Can we do a better job of educating them? Surely! But in the meantime, when a developer gets assigned a vulnerability\u2026 say\u2026 TODAY. RIGHT NOW. What tools and information can your AppSec vendor provide them with so they don\u2019t spend 3 hours researching a fix? How can we make it as easy as possible for them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Checkmarx we tell you which issues to fix, where they are, and how developers can fix them \u2013 fast.<\/strong> In addition to having a powerful back end that takes care of scans, correlation and prioritization, we provide a seamless developer experience with features to make devs\u2019 work go faster. This includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What does that mean? Security tasks are easier for developers to complete when they\u2019re built directly into developers\u2019 existing workflows, meaning integrations and productivity tools!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tool you purchase must integrate seamlessly with IDEs, SCMs, feedback\/bug tracking\/alerting tools and systems, and CI\/CD pipeline tools. Plug-ins should be easy for developers to download and securely access where appropriate, and the tool should be easily accessible via webhooks and CLI tools depending on how your devs like to operate. In addition to integrations, it also means having security tools specifically for developers to complete security tasks more quickly. This includes AI secure coding assistants, easy-access security educational tools, and a suite of security automations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Checkmarx has everything you need to bring security into your developers\u2019 tools and workflows.<\/strong> We do this with a full suite of integrations and developer tools aimed at raising your team\u2019s DevSecOps maturity including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What does that mean? If you\u2019re in DevOps, platform engineering, product security, or a similar discipline within the development team, then you are probably dealing with lots of developers, working with lots of tools, and many, many pipelines. We recommend a unified AppSec platform to help you manage complex enterprise-scale development pipelines, as well as provide continuous and automated security at scale. This would mean a single point for all your AppSec integrations, allowing you to deploy and provision your developers with security tools more easily. The right platform will seamlessly integrate security controls throughout your SDLC, minimizing the impact of vulnerability scans that slow developers down and speeding up AppSec to work at the speed of development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Checkmarx we make it all work with the speed and integrations you need to secure all your development pipelines.<\/strong> We do this with:<\/p>\n\n\n\nEnd the Guesswork \u2013 Give Devs the Tools and Info They Need to Fix Vulnerabilities Fast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
