Checkmarx One Eclipse Plugin

Checkmarx continues to spearhead the shift-left approach to AppSec by bringing our powerful AppSec tools into your IDE. This empowers developers to identify vulnerabilities and remediate them as they code. The Checkmarx Eclipse plugin integrates seamlessly into your IDE, enabling you to access the full functionality of your Checkmarx One account (SAST, SCA, IaC Security) directly from your IDE.

You can run new scans, or import results from scans run in your Checkmarx One account. Checkmarx provides detailed info about each vulnerability, including remediation recommendations and examples of effective remediation. The plugin enables you to navigate from a vulnerability to the relevant source code, so that you can easily zero-in on the problematic code and start working on remediation.
