Using one plugin to identify the vulnerabilities in the open source dependencies being pulled into a project and another to identify security issues and bugs in developers’ own code, means context switching and a waste of development time. Let’s take a closer look, shall we? One plugin to rule them all! Surfacing the different types of security issues in an application, the new IDE plugin is fast, accurate, and easy to use, enabling developers to integrate security and quality testing from their first lines of code, in their IDE. This is exactly what Snyk’s new JetBrains plugin was designed to support.
To enable developers to take more ownership for security, they need to be able to integrate security into their development workflow as early as possible in the software development lifecycle and in the easiest way as possible. Testing during the build process or later means developers will need to go back into their code, identify the issue, apply the fix, integrate, test, and start the build process again.ĭevSecOps, and the notion of handing over more responsibility for security to developers, are increasingly being adopted by development and security teams as a way to deliver secure code without sacrificing speed.
On the other hand, security checks can slow down development when taking place too late in the development process. On the one hand, pushing code into production unchecked and without any security testing introduces risk. These two requirements - a rapid development pace and secure code - have often come at the expense of one another. At the same time, though, they are also expected to ensure that this code is free of security issues and bugs.
Speed + security = not mutually exclusiveĭevelopers are under constant pressure to deliver code faster. While this new combined capability is currently supported in IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, and P圜harm only, the plugin can be used in any JetBrains IDE to scan for vulnerabilities in your open source dependencies.
