Agentic AI security provider Checkmarx today announced an integration with the AWS Kiro IDE to enable developers working in that platform to identify and deal with security issues as code is written, the company said.
The integration puts Checkmarx Developer Assist directly into Kiro, so developers don’t have to leave the IDE to analyze the code for security.
“With AI-driven development environments like Kiro, security must operate at developer
speed,” Jonathan Rende, chief product officer at Checkmarx, said in the news release. “Developer Assist
brings agentic, policy-driven security insight directly into the IDE, helping developers
understand real risk in real time while giving AppSec teams centralized visibility and
control through Checkmarx One. With the Kiro agent powered by Checkmarx,
developers can eliminate up to 90% of security rework before code is committed.”
Once developers active Developer Assist insider Kiro and it is authenticated, Checkmarx said the tool will analyze source code and dependencies in the active workspace. Further, it said the tool will automatically surface security findings in the IDE, along with contextual data that helps developers fix security issues early in the development cycle. That data can be viewed in the Checkmarx One platform, providing stakeholders with a view of project risks.
