IDE plugins for secure development

Snyk adds security directly into your IDE with real-time vulnerability scanning of code, open source libraries, containers, and cloud infrastructure — and provides actionable fix advice in-line so you can fix quickly and move on.

Develop securely wherever you code

Snyk offers IDE security plugins for JetBrains, Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, and Visual Studio.

Speed up IDE security

By fixing issues early, Snyk Security helps you ace security reviews later down the line and avoid time-intensive or costly fixes downstream in a build process.

Stay in flow

With automated and guided fixes in-line with code, Snyk provides the context and know-how to apply a fix while keeping you in your IDE. No distractions or downtime.

How do security plugins work?

Security plugins provide real-time vulnerability scanning of code, open source libraries, containers, and cloud infrastructure. Most of Snyk’s plugins are based on the Snyk CLI. Once installed, the plugin will download the latest version of the Snyk CLI and use it to run scans.
