Opus partners with Checkmarx

The collaboration supports Opus’ commitment to enhancing security in the financial sector, by improving its protection against cyber threats for its customers. Opus combined its technical expertise with Checkmarx’s application security platform to advance the security of the payment ecosystem.

Payment technology solutions provider Opus has partnered with Checkmarx to deliver application security to its global clients.

The partnership’s benefits

The partnership enables clients to embrace DevSecOps with Checkmarx’s application security platform. By integrating Checkmarx’s solutions, Opus receives access to Checkmarx One’s features, allowing a proactive enhancement for its clients’ systems. Through configuration and automation, Opus’ clients will be able to identify, prioritise, and respond to threats and vulnerabilities based on their business impact.

Considering that real-time payments are constantly evolving, a robust application security platform can have a strong influence on minimising the impact of cyber threats. According to officials, Opus aims to deliver security solutions that safeguard its clients and their finances. The partnership’s objective is to help organisations accelerate their digital transformation while ensuring that security is embedded into every stage of their application development process.
