Secure development in Visual Studio with Snyk Open Source

Microsoft's Visual Studio now supports a new free extension from Snyk, enabling developers to identify and fix security vulnerabilities and license issues in their open source dependencies. The extension is compatible with Visual Studio 2015, 2017, and 2019, and can be easily installed within the IDE or via the marketplace. It supports all languages supported by Snyk CLI: .NET, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Swift, Objective-C, and Scala. The extension is based on the Snyk CLI, which scans dependencies and correlates findings with the Snyk Intel Vulnerability Database for accurate results. This helps developers address security early on in the development process, ensuring that code remains secure while maintaining a rapid pace of development.
