Checkmarx Joins Forces with ZAP to Supercharge Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

September 2024 by Marc Jacob

Checkmarx has expanded its support for open source solutions with the most widely used DAST tool in the world, the Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP). ZAP project leaders Simon Bennetts, Rick Mitchell and Ricardo Pereira will join Checkmarx as employees to build the next generation of Checkmarx’ enterprise-grade DAST offering while continuing to invest in the open source project and grow the ZAP community. ZAP has performed over 353,724,090 scans and has delivered more than 30,058,294,650 alerts since December 2021.

Checkmarx’ new collaboration with ZAP leaders is yet another demonstration of the company’s commitment to driving value for developers by partnering with the open source community. For the past several years, Checkmarx has delivered successful open source projects with millions of active users and downloads, including KICS, 2MS, CxFlow, Vorpal, ImageX and many others. The addition of ZAP to the Checkmarx portfolio exemplifies the company’s strong commitment to the open source community and to providing enterprise development and security teams with the most comprehensive AppSec coverage available anywhere.

ZAP community members will benefit from:

Checkmarx’ extensive commitment to open source and the community, as evidenced by its various open source tools maintained by the company. ZAP project founders and Checkmarx open source experts will together help maintain and enhance ZAP.
The open source expertise of the Checkmarx research team, particularly in the areas of fidelity and finely-tuned engine accuracy. Working collaboratively with the ZAP core team will lead to more robust and reliable features.
Valuable insights from Checkmarx’ large and active enterprise customer base to help guide the future development of ZAP, ensuring that it meets real-world needs more effectively.
A wealth of resources to develop high-priority features requested by the community.

Checkmarx customers will gain:

Enhanced engine development, ensuring that customers benefit from the most secure, optimized and up-to-date solutions. The combined team will expand and enhance ZAP with innovative new features so that it can be leveraged both alone and within Checkmarx DAST, an integral solution within the Checkmarx One platform.
Expanded integration into the Checkmarx One platform, including enhanced correlation, an easier user experience and a more seamless developer experience.
Innovative new features made possible by the combination of the Checkmarx development team with ZAP’s core team, which contributed to nearly every part of the codebase and brings unmatched expertise to drive faster and more accurate enhancements.
Direct access to expertise from both Checkmarx experts and the ZAP core team.
Continuous improvement of the engine’s accuracy based on Checkmarx research and the integration of Checkmarx customer insights.
