Checkmarx Checkmarx

Checkmarx is a security tool used for static application security testing (SAST). It scans source code to identify vulnerabilities and security issues early in the development process, helping developers find and fix security flaws before deploying applications.

Hymdl enables seamless integration with leading security tools such as Checkmarx, allowing organizations to detect code-level vulnerabilities and map them directly to real-world cloud risks-automatically and in real time.

Challenges Addressed

  • Security teams often identify vulnerabilities but lack context about their impact on cloud infrastructure.
  • Cloud engineers respond to misconfigurations but struggle to trace them back to insecure code.
  • Risk and compliance officers chase alerts with limited insight into true impact or regulatory exposure.

These gaps result in manual effort, duplicated tools, delayed responses, and increased risk.

How Hymdl Bridges the Gap By integrating code scanning tools with HYMDL’s OpsTwin—a real-time operational graph visualizing all cloud resources, relationships, and associated risks—Hymdl fuses code-level insights with cloud context.

Key Benefits

  • End-to-End Visibility: Unified view from code to cloud, showing how vulnerabilities propagate.
  • Remediation Scripts (IaC-based): Automated Infrastructure-as-Code scripts for rapid fixes.
  • Automated Risk Enrichment: Instantly enriches findings with real-time cloud context and risk scoring.
  • Smart, Unified Remediation: Provides actionable, prioritized remediation steps across code and cloud resources by auto generating workflows/tickets.

Role-Based Value

  • Developers: See how code changes affect security posture in live cloud environments.
  • Cloud Engineers: Trace misconfigurations back to vulnerable codebases.
  • Security Teams: Access enriched findings with stack traces, cloud identity links, and contextual risk.
  • Compliance Officers: Link vulnerabilities to audit requirements and automate evidence generation.
  • FinOps Leaders: Understand the financial impact of unresolved vulnerabilities.

This integration empowers teams to respond faster, reduce risk, and streamline.

Integrating Checkmarx Data with Hymdl​

Users can integrate Checkmarx data with Hymdl in a few simple steps : Watch

  1. Provide Checkmarx URL and API Key: Enter your Checkmarx instance URL and API key details in Hymdl.
  2. Provide Tenant Name: Specify the tenant name associated with your Checkmarx environment.
  3. Auto-Generated Workflow: Hymdl can automatically generate a workflow, which can be further configured to meet specific requirements.
  4. Apply Filters: Users can filter results by attributes such as branch name or severity to focus on critical issues.
  5. View More Details: For deeper analysis, users can redirect from the Hymdl screen to the Checkmarx console.

This integration streamlines vulnerability management and provides enhanced visibility into code security within your cloud environment.
