Checkmarx Recognized as AWS Provider of Application Security Testing Solutions for Public Sector

Checkmarx Builds on AWS Security Competency Status with Acceptance into AWS Public Sector Partner Program, Expanding Cloud Services Offerings for Government and Education Organizations

Checkmarx, a global leader in software security solutions for DevOps, announced that it has been accepted into the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Public Sector Partner Program. With this, Checkmarx is now an authorized provider of application security testing (AST) solutions via AWS’ cloud-based infrastructure to public sector organizations. Notably, this follows Checkmarx recently earning AWS Security Competency status, making it the first AST software vendor to hold both designations.

From small school districts to federal, state, and local government agencies, public sector organizations are increasingly migrating to cloud environments to improve scalability, reduce operational costs, and push software into production more quickly and securely. Acceptance into the AWS Public Sector Partner Program signifies Checkmarx’s proficiency in supporting these efforts through the company’s in-house technical expertise and AST solution suite.
