In order to address time delays that affect the deployment of a new defence application, the US Navy mandated adoption of the Compile to Combat in 24 Hours (C2C24) programme.

The integration of Checkmarx into C2C24 will enhance software security within the programme.

Checkmarx US Federal vice-president Rich Wajsgras said: “The stark reality is that it takes an adversary less than 24 hours to weaponise an exploit that targets a newly discovered vulnerability in a deployed application.

“In order to properly combat against these evolving threats, speed, along with accuracy and security, is critical when developing government software applications.

“We’re proud to be working closely with NIWC PAC and integrating into its already impactful C2C24 programme. Together, we’ll pave the way to faster, more-secure application development while influencing the entire US Government sector.”
