Automated software security for the Swiss market

Distributor DataStore expands its portfolio with Checkmarx solutions

DataStore, one of the leading Swiss value-added distributors, is now marketing the full portfolio of application security specialist Checkmarx in Switzerland. Checkmarx is a world leader in software security, offering software developers a broad range of solutions for application security testing and software composition analysis.

As digitalization proceeds at breakneck pace, software is finding its way into every aspect of daily life. But as our dependence on software grows, so does the potential for risk – whether from security-related bugs in our own code or from the integration of obsolete and vulnerable open-source components.

Checkmarx offers sustainable, automated solutions that simplify and accelerate security testing during software development. Checkmarx SAST, IAST, SCA, and Codebashing integrate seamlessly into developer work flows, making it possible to proactively identify and correct vulnerabilities in your own or open source code before the software is made public.

“Digital transformation is making businesses more flexible, productive, and innovative. But shifting business processes to the digital world comes with risks – and one of the biggest risks is vulnerable software. Checkmarx’s solutions allow businesses in every industry and of every size to automatically identify and correct critical security gaps in their code – making these solutions a key technology for every developing business. We’re very happy to get off to a flying start together on the Swiss market.”

In the leading quadrant three years running
Checkmarx represents the first consummate application security specialist in DataStore’s “Cyber Security” division, launched in 2013. In 2020, the company was chosen as a “Leader” in the Gartner “Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing” for the third year running and as “Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice” in application security testing for the second year running. Checkmarx has a Swiss branch office in Zurich.

“Just about every company today develops and uses software to keep up with the competition and stay at the forefront of their market. So software security isn’t a niche issue – it’s highly critical, especially since applications are often subject to strict security and compliance requirements

This is an exceedingly interesting growth market for Swiss specialist traders and resellers. We’re convinced that DataStore, an outstandingly well-connected and experienced VAD, is the perfect partner to support us in strengthening our market position and building up our partner network, and we’re very much looking forward to setting a course for our future business in Switzerland together.”
