Checkmarx Protects Internal Assets with Device Zero Trust

As a cybersecurity company, one of our most important goals is to protect our internal assets

For Alon Bar, VP, infrastructure engineering and global CISO at Checkmarx, it was crucial to understand who was dealing with their information. He needed visibility into devices used both within the organization and connecting from outside; the system he was looking for would allow him and the security team to control devices spread all around the world. It’s here that Specops was able to help.

Specops Device Trust addressed three of Alon’s concerns:

1. To understand who is connecting to Checkmarx’s network

Specops Device Trust gives teams the visibility to discover every device connecting to their network, including BYOD and contractor devices.

2. To know that their devices are protected with the latest security updates

Continuous monitoring constantly verifies the posture of connected devices. When updates are required, grace periods give users time to update without compromising productivity.

3. To block devices that aren’t authorized from logging into the network

Device enrollment identifies and authorizes the specific devices that can access internal networks, crucial for defense in a cybersecurity company.

Checkmarx policy prefers that all employees work only with company-supplied devices that are certified. With Specops supporting that aim, Alon can ensure that Checkmarx employees only use verified, secured devices. Does he recommend the solution for other organizations?

I recommend Specops Device Trust because the system is very UI friendly and gives us the ability to do what we need with it
