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

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.
