Code Sight IDE Plug-in

Developer-Embedded Security Scanning

• Performs rapid, incremental static analysis and dependency scanning as code is written, edited, or saved no context switching required.

• Detects unsecure coding patterns, open source component vulnerabilities, API misuse, hard‑coded secrets, and IaC file risks within the IDE.

Guided Remediation and Developer Learning

• Offers context‑aware recommendations, including patch suggestions, fix guidance, and developer training modules tied to detected issues to reduce rework.

Security Awareness and Policy Enforcement

• When connected to Black Duck SCA®, Coverity® Static Analysis, or Software Risk Manager™, Code Sight surfaces team‑level findings and policy violations—ensuring consistent remediation priorities.

Fast Setup and Broad IDE Support

• Available as a standalone free trial plugin or bundled with active AST subscriptions. Installation is simple via marketplace extensions for VS Code, IntelliJ®, Eclipse, or Visual Studio.

• Scans large projects in seconds and supports languages, APIs, open source dependencies, and infrastructure-as-code configurations.

Benefits

• Catch issues early — Fix vulnerabilities before they enter build pipelines or downstream tools, reducing rework by up to 66%.

• Improve developer workflows — Receive code and dependency risk insights without context switching or slowing development speed

• Educate while you code — Remediation guidance is enhanced with developer-facing training or documentation

• Enforce policy seamlessly — Align developer actions with enterprise governance and compliance policies, even within the IDE

Integration with Polaris Platform

Code Sight extends Black Duck's Polaris Platform, Coverity Static Analysis, Black Ducks SCA, and Software Risk Manager by embedding issue insight, remediation context, and policy enforcement directly into IDE workflows.
