About Checkmarx “Teams”
For ZeroNorth-orchestrated scan, if you are using “Teams” in your Checkmarx to server to organize the various projects, the team information must be specified when creating a ZeroNorth scan Policy. This requirement does not apply to data load Policies.
Example: If you have a team in Checkmarx like “CxServer\SP\MyTeam”, the in the Checkmarx, orchestrated scan Policy, you will need to specify the Team as “CxServer/SP/MyTeam” (forward “/”).
