HoundDog.ai has announced the availability of its new IDE Plugins and Managed Scans, which enhance the platform's ability to prevent Personally Identifiable Information (PII) leaks throughout the software development lifecycle. The IDE Plugins, compatible with VS Code, JetBrains, and Eclipse, allow developers to proactively identify and remediate sensitive data exposures within their development environments before code is committed. Managed Scans offer organizations the capability to automate regular scans of their repositories, integrating seamlessly with source control systems to detect data leaks efficiently. This new functionality supports both AppSec and compliance teams by expanding vulnerability coverage, enhancing risk scoring, and ensuring adherence to data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA without hindering development speed. The platform's broker feature enables secure cloud-based analysis for self-hosted source control systems, enhancing compliance with stringent data handling standards.
