"The Checkmarx AST platform offers unparalleled accuracy, coverage, visibility and guidance to reduce risk across all components of modern application development, including proprietary code, open source and infrastructure-as-code.

"As we work closely with more leading Japanese companies, our goal remains constant: to take a proactive approach by employing the 'shift left' concept to the application development work process, bringing our customers' application security to a whole new level," Nakamichi adds.

"It is an honour to have Yoshishige-san representing Checkmarx in Japan, a country where innovation, leadership and next-generation security have long been high priorities for organisational and government executives," Checkmarx APAC sales vice president Hari Bhullar says.
