Singapore, Singapore, November 18th, 2025, FinanceWire The collaboration expands institutional-grade security into blockchain-based financial systems, leveraging Web3 security expertise from CredShields and Checkmarx’s global AppSec platform. CredShields, a leading Web3 security firm, has announced a partnership with Checkmarx, a global leader in agentic AI-powered application security testing, to bring CredShields’ smart contract audits, blockchain vulnerability research, and decentralized security tooling to Checkmarx’s enterprise customer base.
