First Line of Defense: Developer Security Tools in the IDE

We all want to produce better and more secure software, and we want to do it faster than ever before. For developers, this means taking on more responsibility for security without sacrificing velocity, as well as learning new tools and processes that may have been prescribed by teams that are disconnected from the development process.

By bringing security detection and remediation into the integrated development environment (IDE) and delivering that information to developers as they work, security-focused IDE plugins such as Black Duck® Code Sight™ help build security into the code without sacrificing velocity.

Three factors are necessary for empowering developers to build secure software without compromising velocity.

  • Risk awareness
  • Risk prioritization
  • Risk mediation

Download the white paper to learn how to prioritize these factors and why IDE-based plugins are the key to a "shift left" approach to software security.
