Checkmarx One is a paid web application-security platform focused on source-code analysis. It integrates with CI/CD workflows, scans pull requests, and supports IDE use so security checks can occur during development. Teams can define custom security rules and custom rules for their requirements, while automated fixes assist with remediation. The listed analysis target is source code. Pull-request scanning provides a way to examine proposed changes, and CI/CD integration connects checks with delivery processes. IDE support places analysis in developer tooling. Checkmarx One has no free plan, and pricing is available on request. The company was founded in 2006.

DongTai IAST is an open-source tool for finding vulnerabilities in running Java applications and their third-party components. It examines application traffic as it runs, using method-call data and taint tracking across HTTP, HTTPS, and RPC requests; it does not rely on dedicated attack tests. The project lists Java, Python, PHP, and Go for detection, though the Python, PHP, and Go agents are beta and community-maintained beta agents may not deploy successfully. DongTai can analyze runtime data flows, prioritize verified findings by risk, and provide vulnerability tracing and reports. Its server also offers project and user management, notifications, a Web API, and custom vulnerability rules. Deployment options include SaaS, localized installation, Docker Compose, and Kubernetes. An IntelliJ IDEA plugin can run the Java probe and detect vulnerabilities in the IDE. The open-source self-hosted plan costs nothing. The project lists web runtime support and an Apache-2.0 license.
