Adding Container and IaC security to the Snyk plugin for Jetbrains

Snyk has expanded its free JetBrains IDE plugin to include infrastructure-as-code and container security alongside existing scans for proprietary code and open-source dependencies, enabling developers to assess application security within their coding environment. The plugin identifies vulnerabilities in dependencies and first-party code, configuration issues in Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS CloudFormation, and Azure Resource Manager files, and vulnerabilities in container images referenced by Kubernetes workloads. It provides severity-based prioritization, in-line issue locations, explanations of impact, remediation guidance, references, ignore options, recommended image upgrades, and quick fixes, while IaC configuration files remain local rather than being uploaded to Snyk servers. Developers can install the plugin from the JetBrains Marketplace, authenticate with a free Snyk account, and begin scanning projects automatically, supporting Snyk’s goal of shifting security checks earlier into development workflows.
