Snyk Code scanning added to the Snyk Visual Studio extension

Snyk Code is a static application security testing service that combines machine learning with expert-reviewed rules to deliver real-time security and code-quality findings, allowing developers to identify and fix issues during development. As part of the broader Snyk developer security platform, it also supports scanning open-source dependencies, container base images, and infrastructure-as-code configurations, with remediation guidance and automated fixes. Snyk expanded its Visual Studio support through the Snyk Vulnerability Scanner extension, which scans project dependencies for known vulnerabilities and adds Snyk Code analysis for languages including C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Ruby. Available for Visual Studio 2019 and 2022, the open-source extension can be installed through the IDE or Visual Studio Marketplace, authenticates through a Snyk account, and downloads the Snyk CLI automatically. The post encourages developers to scan regularly at development milestones and after fixes, emphasizing that early, repeated scanning can help prevent vulnerabilities from accumulating later in the project lifecycle.
