Abstract

Integrating the AppSec IDE security plugin to scan for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and secrets while coding, with in-IDE fixes.

Integrate the Cortex Cloud security plugin into your workflow with your IDE to directly scan your infrastructure-as-code (IaC) files for misconfigurations, detect vulnerabilities in your software composition analysis (SCA) packages, identify exposed secrets, and uncover license violations while coding.

This process seamlessly runs in the background without disrupting your coding experience. Security findings are flagged within your code, categorized by scan type and severity for identification and resolution within the IDE itself. Remediation options include fixes (when available), suppression, or referring to documentation. Supported IDEs include VS Code and all JetBrains offerings (such as IntelliJ, PyCharm and so on).

Note

Not all remediation options are available for all findings or all type of scan category.
