New architecture combines the highest fidelity, AI reasoning, validation, and enrichment over the codebase\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], July 30:<\/strong> Checkmarx, the leader in agentic application security, today announced Checkmarx Fusion, a new hybrid scanning approach now available in early access to Checkmarx customers. Checkmarx Fusion combines Checkmarx\u2019s industry-leading AppSec engines and proprietary security context with leading frontier models from Anthropic. The result is the most complete vulnerability detection available, spanning every language, every codebase, and every stage of the software development lifecycle.<\/p>\n

The need has never been more urgent. According to Checkmarx\u2019s 2026 Future of Application Security report, 49% of production code is now AI-generated. As AI fuels development, the volume and complexity of vulnerabilities is outpacing the tools and processes organizations have relied on to manage them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are at an inflection point in application security,\u201d said Sandeep Johri, CEO of Checkmarx. \u201cAI has driven code volume, delivery speed, and risk complexity beyond what any organization can manage with yesterday\u2019s thinking. Checkmarx Fusion is the answer to that moment: deterministic precision and frontier AI reasoning, delivered in an integrated enterprise-grade cloud architecture. This is how code security has to work from here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEnterprise application security is one of the most consequential domains for AI reasoning, because the complexity is high, the cost of error is real, and speed matters,\u201d<\/em> said Ashraf Alhashim, Head of Enterprise Cybersecurity GTM, Anthropic.<\/strong> \u201cCheckmarx Fusion is a compelling example of what becomes possible when organizations bring frontier AI intelligence to bear within the kind of deep security context Checkmarx has spent decades building.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Checkmarx Fusion is an integral component of Checkmarx One, purpose-built to address the limitations of single-approach vulnerability detection \u2013 offering complete vulnerability detection, at enterprise scale, without the cost and performance penalties of standalone AI scanning. It uniquely synthesizes outputs from multiple scanning engines, confirming true positives and reducing false positives. The result is the highest-fidelity vulnerability detection in the industry, achieving an F1 score of 0.741, nearly four times the category average.<\/p>\n

Checkmarx Fusion\u2019s deterministic foundation draws on two decades of trusted Checkmarx AppSec research, delivering consistent, high-precision vulnerability detection across established languages and attack patterns.<\/p>\n

A multi-model AI engine extends detection to any language outside a fixed rule set, including AI-generated code, emerging languages for complete coverage. It operates within Checkmarx\u2019s proprietary security context, ensuring AI reasoning is grounded in real application risk rather than pattern-matching alone. For the deepest reasoning, customers can easily select among Claude models.<\/p>\n

Checkmarx Fusion\u2019s proprietary architecture is built for enterprise efficiency and control at scale. Model optionality ensures customers can optimize cost and performance without sacrificing coverage, delivering faster scan times and lower operational costs. Leveraging Amazon Bedrock, scanning workloads run entirely within their own cloud environment, ensuring source code never leaves their infrastructure boundary. For organizations in regulated industries, this architecture directly addresses the data residency and compliance requirements that have historically made AI-powered security tooling difficult to adopt at scale.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith AI generating unprecedented amounts of code, security has to be an enabler, not a bottleneck,\u201d<\/em> said Erik Brown, Business Information Security Officer, AppSec Leader, Nelnet.<\/strong> \u201cThis hybrid approach combining rules-based precision with AI-powered reasoning gives AppSec teams a way to scale while delivering high fidelity performance. The industry finally has an approach built for what AI demands.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAI-driven security has become a board-level conversation. The question I hear every day is no longer whether we have vulnerabilities\u2014it\u2019s whether we\u2019ve discovered the ones that matter most and whether we\u2019re fixing them fast enough,\u201d<\/em> said Mustapha Kebbeh, Chief Security Officer, UKG. \u201cThat\u2019s exactly what Checkmarx Fusion is built to address: giving organizations confidence that they\u2019re not missing what matters, while enabling teams to prioritize and remediate critical vulnerabilities faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

Checkmarx Fusion is available in early access now as part of the Checkmarx One platform. Checkmarx Fusion will be demonstrated at Black Hat USA in Las Vegas. The Checkmarx booth is #4553.
