DevSkim
A security linting framework with IDE plugins and CLI tools that detects vulnerabilities as developers write code.
What is DevSkim?
DevSkim is a security linting framework that provides inline vulnerability detection in integrated development environments (IDEs) and through a command-line interface. It analyzes code as developers write it, identifying security issues in real-time across multiple programming languages. The goal is to help fix vulnerabilities at the point of introduction and increase developer awareness of security practices.
Developers and development teams working with languages like C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, and others who need integrated security analysis in their IDEs or CI/CD pipelines.
Developers choose DevSkim for its seamless integration into popular IDEs like Visual Studio and VS Code, its real-time feedback with actionable guidance, and its flexible rule system that supports both built-in and custom security rules. It stands out by focusing on early detection in the development workflow rather than post-commit analysis.
Overview
DevSkim is a set of IDE plugins, language analyzers, and rules that provide security "linting" capabilities.
