According to Salt Security's 2024 State of API Security Report, 80% of API attacks attempt to exploit one or more OWASP API Security Top 10 vulnerabilities. Yet, only 58% of organizations prioritize protection against these well-known threats. This gap leaves many businesses exposed to cyber risks that could have been prevented. Investing in API testing tools helps safeguard your mobile application ecosystem against evolving threats.

Imagine building a high-tech security fence around your house but leaving open doors and windows with crumbling roofs. Would you still feel safe? That’s precisely what happens when organizations deploy Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) without Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT). Many security leaders assume that because RASP offers real-time threat detection and mitigation, it eliminates the need for proactive security testing. But this is a dangerous misconception.

Checkmarx is a popular SAST, DAST, and SCA provider that helps organizations detect and fix vulnerabilities and ensure application security. Its robust testing capabilities make it a go-to choice for many enterprises looking to integrate security into their DevSecOps pipeline. However, like all tools, Checkmarx has certain limitations. Some users find it expensive and complex to set up, while others report long scan times and occasional false positives, which slow down development workflows.
