Defining the Future of Agentic AppSec: Tromzo Joins Forces with Checkmarx

Our announcement that Tromzo is joining Checkmarx is an exciting new phase of our journey but it isn’t just about an acquisition. It’s about accelerating a fundamental transformation in how we secure the world’s code; moving from reactive application security towards a future vision of autonomous, agentic application security.

The vision is bold, redefine AppSec through agentic AI that transforms how enterprises secure all of their code, whether it is existing, human-created, or from AI-driven software development. And that future requires pairing industry leading AppSec platform from Checkmarx, with an intelligence layer that understands risk as deeply as an engineer.

GenAI Code Generation Broke the Speed Limit

Software development has fundamentally changed, and Application Security has hit a mathematical wall. According to recent research, 60% of code today is generated by AI. We are seeing exponentially more code, shipped faster, by more developers of varying skill levels than ever before.

The traditional model of securing code—manual reviews, gatekeeping, and retrospective scanning—cannot mathematically keep up with this velocity. The ratio of developers to AppSec engineers has always been lopsided, but with the advent of AI coding assistants, that gap is no longer just a resource issue; it is an existential crisis for the industry.

The Underlying Crisis: Drowning in Noise

This explosive growth in code volume has exposed critical flaws in how our industry deals with AppSec.

• The Context Gap: Tools are identifying vulnerabilities in code without understanding the business context, treating a vulnerability in a test environment the same as a critical flaw in a production banking app.
• Manual Workflows: Security teams are drowning in triage queues and ticket-driven workflows that rely on human intervention for every decision.
• The Remediation Bottleneck: We aren’t just failing to find vulnerabilities; we are failing to remediate them at scale before attackers can exploit them.

When AI generates 10x the code, a manual remediation process doesn’t just slow you down; it collapses.

Why We Built Tromzo

My co-founder Harshit Chitalia and I, we both co-founded Tromzo with a singular mission: to accelerate the remediation of risks that truly matter, from code to cloud.

As part of building Tromzo and our ASPM platform, we knew we had to solve problems that fundamentally slow down remediation. We built reasoning agents that don’t just “guess”; they ground themselves in the customer’s actual code, cloud, and business data. This approach allows us to perform highly accurate triage and remediation, ensuring that security teams focus only on vulnerabilities that pose a real threat. We built this architecture to solve the fundamental problem of noise and context, ensuring that we could minimize risk while maximizing productivity.

Accelerating Our Mission: Tromzo Joins Checkmarx

Today, I am incredibly proud to announce that Tromzo has been acquired by Checkmarx. This isn’t just an acquisition; it is the integration of the only platform built on true cognitive architecture with the world’s leading enterprise AppSec platform. By combining our deep reasoning agents with Checkmarx’s massive reach, scale, and market leadership, we are delivering the only solution that allows enterprise security teams to move fast with enterprise-grade control.

Together, we are delivering Continuous Agentic AppSec. We are moving from a world of “finding” to a world where AI becomes an intelligent partner in security.

The Future is Agentic

Joining Checkmarx accelerates our mission to remediate the risks that truly matter. The entire Tromzo team is joining Checkmarx to drive this future of autonomous AppSec.

The era of context-blind alerts and vulnerability whack-a-mole is over. The era of Agentic AppSec has begun.

Let’s get to work.
